Why not? We already got rid of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. Even the Redskins and land of lake lady. Even Robert E. Lee. Even the Founding Fathers.


You can throw on a hood, grab a tiki torch, and celebrate Robert E Lee in the comfort of your own home. The rest of us don’t want to celebrate traitors who fought against our country to keep slavery.

Trump and MAGAS are outright ranting, raving despicable, hate spewing, right wing gang of the evangelical racist traitors.




Yup I know a MAGA who told me that he was tired of the white man becoming the minority what a truly disgusting and uneducated thing to say.


and they are afraid of women in the military too....such small little men.


Is that why they hate everyone? They are impotent losers with tiny dicks?

But WHY would it be under review for DEI compliance? Why would it be reviewed for racism?

This makes absolutely no sense. Unless…their anti-DEI initiative is actually just their way of allowing and encouraging racism. But we all knew that, didn’t we?


Because the instruction was given to eliminate all DEIA horrible initiatives and remove content from systems and surfaces. Absolutely no additional guidance to what that means. So if it was related to any affinity group initiative, it would have been checked.

However, Hegseth wrote on X Sunday that the course's removal had been "immediately reversed." Take that OP!!!

Do was it inaccurate or was it reversed. This are opposites.

You seem to be confusing corporate mascots for real people. Why doesn’t that surprise me?

I’m so glad that they took those things out of the training. Hopefully they will take other nonessential things out of the training so that the brave Americans training for the Air Force can focus on learning the skills they need and worry less about meaningless ideology. Thanks for sharing this news!

I hate all of what’s going on as much as anyone else, but I wouldn’t ascribe huge racist undercurrents to any of this. The orders coming out have been fast and furious, especially with the removal of people in jobs that are deemed to be DEIA. Absolutely no guidance or precision as to what that entails, only that “if you see DEIA, call OPM and snitch”. Any poster or sign that was “DEIA” had to be taken down. Most of us have no idea what that means and who is the arbiter. So everything is on pause. I have no idea if we’re supposed to do anything for black history month (been around forever), or whether pointing out achievements and the stories of groups like the Tuskegee Airmen is a good thing or will get you unemployed. So I can totally see how websites were scrubbed to get into compliance in under a week without any common sense applied, especially since no common sense was used in making the changes.

92% of Black women who voted voted for Harris/Walz. 78% of Black men voted for Harris /Walz. So those are solid percentages that are far higher than the percentages of any specific demographic group for any candidate. Most people know this.

Air Force recruits in basic training would be better off spending that 30 minutes they’d have spent watching the video doing some extra PT. They need all help they can get.

We used to call the Air Force the “Chair Force”, because they spent so much time sitting around doing nothing that their fat butts were the same shape as their chairs. Even the Navy people were in better shape.


Are you kidding? Young people don't even know what the Holocaust is. You think they know about the Tuskegee Airmen?

Maybe someone will put out a very factual TikTok and they'll learn everything they need to know.


When I went to West Point, the cadets didn't even know who the statues were on the grounds of the school. Even in their academies the level of knowledge is low.

I would think many, many more are familiar with the Tuskegee Airmen than the Holocaust. Jewish history isn’t taught in public schools. Black history IS.

The biggest problems recruits have now is being out of shape fatties. 30 minutes would be better spent running than sitting around watching a video


They can do both thanks


Why would you spew the lie that Jewish history is not taught in public schools. The Holocaust is absolutely taught. The only black history that is taught is slavery which is why we keep repeating the same mistakes and why there is no support for DEI. Kids have no idea what black americans have been through.


Slavery is NOT the only Black history that is taught. I went to school in the Deep South and learned about Tuskegee (which was mostly about Carver and Booker T. Washington.) Go in almost any elementary school in February. Black History Month is the focus. It February used to be George Washington and Abraham LIncoln. Kids also learn about Martin Luther KIng Jr as a focus in January. Did you just fall out of a coconut tree?


I went to school in MD and we learned nothing outside of slavery and my bad, MLK.

Anonymous wrote:Tuskegee Airmen were the 1st Black aviators in the U.S. Air Corp. Under FDR, they overcame significant racial barriers during WWII as the highest rated surviving bomber crews to protect the entirety of the war efforts in combat against the Nazis. They were supported by Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who flew aircraft and trained other pilots during WWII freeing up male pilots for combat roles.

These men (The Red Tails) and women (Fireflies) were an integral part of desegregation in the military and the country. Decorated, honorable men and women who have been walking the halls of the White House for decades.

“A memo circulated among Air Force personnel said that in accordance with NEW DEIA Guidance, portions of the basic training curriculum were being revised immediately.
A video on the Tuskegee Airmen had been excised from a course on air-mindedness. Also deleted were a second video titled Breaking Barriers and a third about the Women Airforce Service Pilots.”

I’ll leave it at this for now.


Meh, it was malicious compliance.

They're back on the curriculum.

The Tuskeegee airmen were so selective, they might as well have been a special forces division.
