This is downright evil. This can’t be defended. When people start saying they are ashamed of this nation, people will know why. This administration only cares about white men. I feel physically nauseated reading this.

It has always only cared about rich White men. Our ancestors scratched and clawed and DIED for women and minorities and the poor and working class. And we just handed it back.

Let hatred and discrimination reign, I guess.

I think the difference is that the site is about "Athletes who served" rather than "Blacks that served."
It was a DEI page that was removed. There is a difference in a page devoted to athletes and one devoted to those of a certain race.

Just like there is a difference between someone who is supported through their amazing athletic career and someone who managed the same despite every disadvantage, including racial disadvantages. But I guess some people are concerned that other people might feel bad if we acknowledge that?

This is the problem. When outrageous things like this or the erasure of the pages re the Tuskegee airmen or Ebola Gay are pointed out, the pages can be reinstated because everyone realizes how ridiculous it is.

But what about all the pages that are being erased without a public hue and cry? We have no idea what we are losing.
