Jackie Robinson is not DEI

[Mashmont]

In the quest to establish the new "woke culture" the Defense Department actually removed the history of Jaackie Robinson from its website. After much clamor, they decided to restore it. Jackie Robinson is not DEI. What some claim DEI is isn't DEI. It's time this overt nonsense ended.

Defense Department Webpage on Jackie Robinson Goes Down, Then Returns amid Diversity Purge​

A Department of Defense webpage describing baseball and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson's military service was restored Wednesday after it was missing earlier in the day.

That development came after pages honoring a Black Medal of Honor winner and Japanese American service members were taken down — the Pentagon said that was a mistake — amid the department's campaign to strip out content singling out the contributions by women and minority groups, which the Trump administration considers “DEI.”

The page on Robinson includes biographical information about his Army service during World War II, which occurred prior to his famously breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

We will have made true progress when MLB teams are allowed to use #42 again. It's ridiculous to have forced all teams to retire that number just because one man was colored.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

When are people going to realize trump and crew are flaming racist?

When are you going to realize nobody listens to your cries of racism anymore.

I’m sure Trump has that on his list of things to do

Hey guys. I'm white. I wore the number 13. That means every HBCU team should retire 13. That's how much sense retiring Robinson's number of all teams makes.

If MAGA had been around then, they would have boycotted his games.

Guess who was around then and boycotted Robinsons games? Democrats.

 

[JimH52]

Hate to tell ya…

But that was the time that MAGA says America was great

Ain't that the truth. That is what trump is trying to do...take us back to the 40's and 50's. Fire those coal powered plants up and to hell with environmental controls.

It was a great time to be a white, male Christian
None of that pesky DEI stuff

The 1940s and early 50s were perhaps the greatest time in American history in terms of morality, in terms of family structure, in terms of Christian devotion. The Catholic Church, Catholic Schools, priests and sisters were at their apex in those years. Sure, there were shortcomings, but the US was a far better place than it is today. Back then Ingrid Bergman was ostracized from Hollywood because of an illicit affair. Today, they don't bat an eye over it. That alone shows how far society has fallen.

Things started to go to hell in the late 50s and after.

You don't know what DEI is. All of you right-wingers repeat the race-baited garbage you get told. Kamala Harris is a law school graduate, She was a DA, she was the AG of the largest state in the country, a senator elected by that state and a Vice President. She was there precisely because she was that good.

Whits such as yourself need to shut up about peoples skills. Far too many whites have been put in places not because they were good, but because they were white.

You don't know what DEI is.

It means putting unqualified people into positions where they end up sucking.
Like Kamala.

Kamala Harris is a law school graduate,

She wasn't very good at it, was she?

She was a DA, she was the AG of the largest state in the country, a senator elected by that state

The people of California elected ger to the US Senate. She started serving in January 2017.
She wasn't very good at her job. So bad, in fact, that by January 2020, even the liberal Democrat primary voters in California supported 3 old white people over Kamala. She could only cover up her incompetence by pointing at diversity for so long. Eventually, the people catch on. Even stupid Democrats eventually catch on. Not you though. DURR

c) made him look good.

By comparison. He never looked good.

“As a white person, I can openly and unabashedly reminisce about “the good old days.” Romanticized recollections of the past and calls for a return to former ways are a function of white privilege, which manifests itself in the ability to remain oblivious to our racial history.”
― Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

She made millions off her whiny BS.

Plenty of Democrats did boycott his games.

The 1940s and early 50s were perhaps the greatest time in American history in terms of morality, in terms of family structure, in terms of Christian devotion

Great time for lynching black men for staring at a white woman
Great time for beating homosexuals then claiming they mad a pass at you
Great family structures where spousal and child abuse were ignored.
Yes, Christians were devoted to harassing and ostracizing other religions

You do realize that some of these removals are mistakes, right. Like the Enola Gay, that just got caught up in their filter. Someone wasn't trying to ban the Enola Gay.

Really?!?? How much did she make?

What I realize is that none of this should be happening.

Whites boycotted from both parties. Again, Democrats were the conservatives of these times.

 

[IM2]

When are you going to realize nobody listens to your cries of racism anymore.

Your gaslighting doesn't work, people do listen because they see the racism happening.

Because of that magical day when unicorns flew over rainbows with leprechauns dancing below and all democrats became republicans?

 

[Seymour Flops]

I find this funny coming from a bunch of white trash who can't see that the only unqualified people who have been hired because of skin color and not talent have been white. The number 1 demographic that supports Trump is white men with no college education. The number 2 are white women with no college education. So it comes as no surprise that you dumbasses don't know jack squat about your history or American law and public policy. Try facts not emotions.

So Joe Biden lied when he said he would pick a black woman as his VP?

Then the most qualified person turned to be a black woman by co-inky-dink?

Is that really your claim?
