Zone1 'Blacks Need Not Apply': U.S. Military's 'Racist' Decision to Stop Recruiting Service Members from Black Engineering Event Draws Backlash

Yet another leftist who believes black engineers aren't smart enough to find a recruiter.

Shoot ... I knew how to look up a number and use a phone ...
Well before I was eighteen years old and eligible for the Service.

They'll come to you if needs be.

They hope blacks keep believing their leftist bull chit, otherwise so they can keep them as their loyal allies for their nasty pushed agendas.

Wake up Blackman and black woman. You've been duped by the leftist.

DEI does not discriminate. It prevents discrimination. It's time whites like you stopped lying to yourself about this. See this is where the conversation with bastards like you starts to get uncivil. Because you want to deny the behavior you exhibit, then ask somebody to show you a law. You guys love using plausible deniability. Murder is illegal. Rape is illegal. Fraud is illegal. All these things continue going on. So then you can stop this racism is illegal therefore it doesn't exist bullshit white man. I would not be in jail for opposing your racism. I find it very disingenuous how white trash such as you tries to reverse the racism on to me because I point out your behavior. That is called racial gaslighting and it's only done by white racists. When 76 percent of the workforce consists of less than 60 percent of the population that population is not being discriminated against white man and this is where whites are today. You are less than 60 percent of all Americans but 76 percent of the workforce, yet you weak fragile bitches are crying about discrimination.

DEI discriminates based upon race. By any sane definition, that is racist.

The SFA vs Harvard decision and all opposition to equal opportunity policies such as DEI.

Please show me the legislation that ended white racism, I've asked for that for years and nobody here has provided it, so don't ask me for anything.

White racism, like black, brown, red or yellow racism can’t be ended by any law. All any law can do is ban racist treatment and laws have been in place to do that for most of my adult life. The only thing that can end racism is social change. Whites have made massive steps in that direction. Blacks have taken steps in the opposite direction as is shown by your language and attitudes openly posted here on these forums.

Hegseth didn't just fire the black guy.

DEI mandates racism against whites.

The only reason they got away with it is because we elected the magic negro as POTUS.

Pretty sure he was elevated to his past position by Biden.

Biden didn't do much of anything other than eat ice cream and shit his pants.
Obama had his people running the WH and Jill Biden was acting POTUS.

Black privilege never started.

Oh? Black dorms, black graduations, black congressional caucus, black women at ASU trying to force a white student out of a multi-cultural study hall, then trying to sue the school for disciplining them? Get back to me when you can find any examples of white graduations, white dorms or a white congressional caucus within the last fifty years. So you are clearly lying when you say “Black privilege never started”.

Because he is IM2. it’s his stock in trade.

Go look into public sector jobs.......most are wearing blackface for real.

Wow ... Top Talent and Highly Educated ...
It's like the very intelligent Black Engineers have probably heard of the Army Corp of Engineers in their studies.

I'm still going to bet they can find the Recruiter's Office and Volunteer to do their duty.

The Army Corps of Engineers are mostly civilians.

The Army Corps of Engineers are mostly civilians.

But not necessarily the highly educated top talent engineers the Army might want in their ranks ...
Because some of them are in the Army ... And that's what the thread is about ...

Well this I can kind of understand, them not wanting to have to compete with engineers, but I still have some misgivings about its legality. I guess we'll get to that eventually.

As President Donald Trump’s administration continues to scour federal agencies of all DEI programs and initiatives, a U.S. military recruiting agency recently announced that it will no longer recruit potential service members from a renowned Black engineering event.

On Monday, Military.com reported that the Army and other service branches will end their enlistment efforts at the Black Engineer of the Year Awards, an annual event that invites students, academics, and professionals with expertise in science, technology, engineering, and math.


“In compliance with Department of Defense and Headquarters Department of the Army guidance, U.S. Army Recruiting Command will not participate in the upcoming BEYA event,” Madison Bonzo, a service spokesperson, told Military.com. “Service members and civilians are permitted to attend this event in an unofficial/personal capacity if they choose to do so.”

As President Donald Trump’s administration continues to scour federal agencies of all DEI programs and initiatives, a U.S. military recruiting agency recently announced that it […]
This comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo ordering all department agencies to abolish diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and offices to prepare to adopt new “merit-based, color-blind policies.” Shortly after, he announced that the Department of Defense will no longer celebrate and observe heritage and identity recognition months like Black History Month and Women’s History Month.


The BEYA event, based in Baltimore, has served as an essential channel for the Pentagon to access highly skilled STEM talent, award Reserve Officers’ Training Corps scholarships, and pitch military service to rising engineers. The Army Recruiting Command boasted a long-standing partnership with the event, and several past BEYA events have included the Army chief of staff and other senior military leaders.

Two defense officials signaled that the branch would likely abandon other recruiting events tied to specific racial groups.

The decision has drawn intense backlash from Army leadership and some recruiters have indicated that it’s a problematic escalation in the federal government’s efforts to scrub diversity initiatives.

One Army recruiter said BEYA “has always been significant” for the branch and is “one of the most talent-dense events we do.”


“It’s f—ing racist,” one active-duty U.S. Army general stated. “For the Army now, it’s ‘Blacks need not apply,’ and it breaks my heart.”

The Navy, Air Force, and Space Force have also withdrawn participation from the event and prohibited their officials from attending in an official capacity or in uniform. There’s no word on whether the Marines have also pulled out.

According to data from Military.com, Black applicants made up more than 24 percent of the Army’s new enlistments in 2022.

In a recent address to Pentagon staff, Hegseth said, “I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is, ‘Our diversity is our strength.’ I think our strength is our unity. Our strength is our shared purpose, regardless of our background, regardless of how we grew up, regardless of our gender, regardless of our race. In this department, we will treat everyone equally.”

“In this department, we will treat everyone equally,” he added. “We will treat everyone with fairness. We will treat everyone with respect. And we will judge you as an individual by your merit and by your commitment to the team and the mission.”

The military should draw engineers from all engineering events and it should not be based on skin color You racist.
Any event that has exclusivity should automatically be disqualified from consideration including a white engineering event.

White is a skin color, and whites get picked because they are white. When those like you stip the dishonest argument you continue trying to make about this, America will be better off.
