Louder for those in the back row. Trump and his ilk are evil.

Why do we have to? He was a traitor who lost a war. Next.

Right? One is an American hero, the other is a traitor and a loser. The fact that you can't see the difference, PP, is exactly why our country is circling the drain.

Military website. About Jackie Robinson. And his military service.

The news article to which the OP links notes that the page was reinstated this afternoon.

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.

Good point.

"Learned helplessness" is a real thing. Keep your chins up!

Malicious compliance.
They wanted the headline of Trump erased Jackie Robinson.

When you support racist policies like affirmative action, expect people to push back.

WE didn’t do anything. THEY did.

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?

The pp didn’t say not to acknowledge that. Why can’t you have a good faith discussion?

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.

Unconscionable but everything this administration and the cowardly Republicans in Congress are doing is unconscionable.

It’s one thing to tear down statues of white people. But removing photos of black folks? That makes me want to weep. Signed, a preening white liberal who can’t figure out why voters don’t like dcurbanmom types.

Which statues of white people did you want to keep? The losers who liked slavery so much they went to war to keep it the law of the land? Those white people? The traitors? Anyone else?

You’re not helping your case that MAGA isn’t racist

There is something deeply wrong with someone who can’t figure out why Jackie Robinson is a hero, and Robert E Lee was not.

Dems like sabotage. It’s a good weapon for the weak.

So then it hasn't been wiped, has it?
