The USCT is what turned the tide of the war. Since Trump is restoring confederate general named military bases, he seems to be telling us that he thinks the wrong side won.

These MFers are demons.

Isn’t the military experiencing a recruitment crisis? What’s the point of this shyt? This doesn’t make people want to join.

Weakening the military like this helps out Putin

They only want white boys now

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Why is it important when Jackie Robinson has his own museum, gets honored by MLB every year has multiple movies, TV shows books etc.?
Let's do the ENTIRE big picture.

This is retarded reasoning. It's not just this page. It's the entire "anti DEI" crusade by the right that is marginalizing Black people's history. A pattern of behavior.

Why are you against staying on their necks? You think they would've put it back up without the reports? They're trying to see what they can get away with.

 

[Wild self]

...and people saying that erasing black history will "make black people stronger through unity"

 

[Bar Razor]

Even a Korean American Youtuber sees it. Starts at 9:02



But got dummy both siders "no big deal"ing it.

"This really pissed me off, great American hero"

Both sider: "Meh, not important"

I’ve always had a prediction for the past 10 years…. I predict that 50 years from now, they will try to say that Michael Jackson wasn’t black…. Sounds stupid I know, but idk…. I just feel like they’ll try to revise history

I'm here. lol

Here to do more mental gymnastics to defend a position that you'll get cooked on?

This is what you were okay with happening, when it didn't need to happen, nor be in power.

You were more okay with this than the majority of black people here; and you aren't articulate enough to state a position that fills us with high IQ insight that shows you are leagues ahead in intellect compared to everyone else here. why are you ignoring so many of your black peers? seems narcissistic.

 

[AngryBaby]

Wow, what a newsflash Trump administration is racist and he is throwing up a flag to confirm. That's why and the signal given right? We knew that already didn't we?

That dude is more articulate, and intelligent than you are lol know your place, notice that, and start paying attention.

stop ignoring other black people for your own *standing on an island* ideals; it's narcissistic. Going on a black forum and ignoring every single one here isn't helpful.

 

[AngryBaby]

We out here. A government website removing an article got you hot under the collar?

now you're gaslighting people too lol

 

[Osmosis]

When it's something big like ignoring a judge's verdict I will get outraged and complain. But this is the temporary removal of an article. It's of little consequence.

What do you think the purpose of this was? Does intent not matter?

You may co-sign the Pentagon referring to Jackie Robinson's contributions as "woke cultural marxism" but that doesn't mean self-respecting black folks are cool with this shyt.

 

[AngryBaby]

This poster has to be a play dumb cac.


No black man is this fukking stupid

I don't think he's black either. The way he's structuring his thoughts, the bad faith, the play dumb tactics, the disregard for other black people here and their perspective. It's giving white.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

That man really said “Woke” at an official white house briefing?

I don't cosign it but I'm also not pretending the article is some fabric of our society that's about to go missing. It's a generic article in their web archive written in 2021. It's not a Ken Burns documentary.

So your argument is that this doesn't matter nor mean anything? that's your premise? let's be clear here. and also, why don't you cosign it?

Don't avoid posters that will cook you btw. it's giving....cowardly. and don't evade both of those questions.
