Air Force scraps course that used videos of Tuskegee Airmen and female WWII pilots

[Moonglow]

Because he is eliminating DEI training, and this was part of that. Why single out this particular event?

We know. Times changed and the military started going to the other extreme - prioritizing wokeness and diversity over merit and competence. Trump has now stopped the discrimination against straight white men.

Merit and competence, you do know we are talking about the military where everyday is a chance to get drunk, ask the head of the military Pete.

There was no DEI when they were being discriminated against.

We know. Times changed and the military started going to the other extreme - prioritizing wokeness and diversity over merit and competence. Trump has now stopped the discrimination against straight white men.

What caused those changes? Explain to me how white men are being discriminated against in the US Air Force? Be specific.

 

[Lisa558]

So why eliminate those achieved by black folks and women.

He’s not eliminating that, I’m sure there have been many accomplishments in the last three generations by units that included black men and women.

Why pick an accomplishment that has NO whites?

 

[irosie91]

So should all of the history be eliminated?

the history in question was not eliminated or denied---
the issue YOU present is that YOU believe that it is
a necessary part of the education of new recruits.
I don't see why it is an adjunct to technical instruction.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

I never said DEI was the only form that racism takes. It is just racist by nature.

The Tuskegee Airmen were facing racism and discrimination by folks like you.

 

[Lisa558]

There was no DEI when they were being discriminated against.

What caused those changes? Explain to me how white men are being discriminated against in the US Air Force? Be specific.

DEI by its very nature means prioritizing blacks and gays for the military over whites. Duh.

 

[DonGlock26]

The Tuskegee Airmen were facing racism and discrimination by folks like you.

I'm not a Democrat.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

He’s not eliminating that, I’m sure there have been many accomplishments in the last three generations by units that included black men and women.

Why pick an accomplishment that has NO whites?

It was whites that were trying to stop their accomplishments.

 

[Lisa558]

The Tuskegee Airmen were facing racism and discrimination by folks like you.

What did he say that was racist? He supports eliminating the racist DEI programs.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

DEI by its very nature means prioritizing blacks and gays for the military over whites. Duh.

Post the policy that proves that.

 

[DonGlock26]

It was whites that were trying to stop their accomplishments.

Should airmen watch a video about the Tuskegee Airmen? Yes.

Should the USAF have a DEI program with a Tuskegee Airmen video as part of it? No, that's a racist program.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

What did he say that was racist? He supports eliminating the racist DEI programs.

The Tuskgee Airmen predated DEI.

 

[Lisa558]

It was whites that were trying to stop their accomplishments.

Which whites? Be specific.

And so now we should try to stop whites from their accomplishments? That’s what racist DEI programs do.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Should airmen watch a video about the Tuskegee Airmen? Yes.

Should the USAF have a DEI program with a Tuskegee Airmen video as part of it? No, that's a racist program.

Explain.

 

[irosie91]

There was no DEI when they were being discriminated against.

What caused those changes? Explain to me how white men are being discriminated against in the US Air Force? Be specific.

Lots of stuff goes on in the Military----I served and dealt
with lots of it. How about spending 60 hours on sexual
harassment of female recruits?----or the dangers of
coin operated canned beer dispensers all over the base---
100 hours and a special REP or how to iron those white
shirts?

 

[Lisa558]

The Tuskgee Airmen predated DEI.

Duh. I’m an intelligent, educated woman. Why are you telling me something that every high school student has learned about?

 

[Moonglow]

So why is Trump trying eliminate one of them?

There was no DEI when the Tuskgee Airmen were being discriminated against.

Trump is a bolo as a soldier he couldn't cut the mustard.

 

[Lisa558]

Explain.

You need to say “explain, SIR.”

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Which whites? Be specific.

And so now we should try to stop whites from their accomplishments? That’s what racist DEI programs do.

So they faced no racism and discrimination, it was black folks who were mistreating them.

Yes, the infamous catcall is considered sexual harassment era in the 1980s. Our beer dispenser was a coke machine.
