Trump is obviously a racist

[Lord of Planar]

Proof of it right here. See specifically page 8. The military doesn't recruit by using equal opportunity as the standard. They use DEI.

That plan is for this administration. I am surprised they went that far. probably another reason Harris lost.

I proved he believes in racist eugenicist ideas with his own words.

The Trump campaign saying Trump doesn't talk like a Nazi when he does is not very convincing.

Am I going to believe them or my lying eyes?

You confirmation bias fills in missing details.

Given this, and their failing recruiting, I suspect these two things are related.

The US military is NOT a sociologist's experiment, and should never be used a such. All of this DEI and CRT is nothing but that.

Whatever happened to equal opportunity?

Whatever happened to equal opportunity?

The military has been equal opportunity for decades already. If the skinny Jewish nerd was better at cryptology, he got the job. If the fat Puerto Rican was a better gunner than I, he got the job. If the Filipino was a better lookout than I, he got the job. The officers didn't make the rounds looking for a Native American to fill a position, they looked for the best person to do the job. Guess what? We had Black guys in the offices, in the gunnery crews, in deck division, in the galley, they were everywhere! Why, we even had Black officers!

It was formalizing in writing that they acknowledge the equal opportunities laws. That is all they had to do in the settlement.

Trump is right. Trumpers would justify him shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.

But that is the sorry state of today's conservatives/Republicans.

Our supposed Law and Order party Leader (who nominated Matt Gaetz for AG, a supposed lawyer who has never even sniffed the inside of a courtroom and was boinking underage girls)

Sacrificed on the alter of the Dem's identity politics.

At least that's the way is used to be? Merit only?

This might be a good place to reminisce on my race relations training when I went to boot camp.

There we sat, Whites and Blacks, Latinos, Filipinos, all different ethnicities from all over Europe and all over Latin America. The instructor basically told us that we were all prejudiced bigots. Everyone, no matter how "enlightened" we considered ourselves to be. The Navy didn't give the smallest damn how prejudiced any of us might be. What the Navy cared about, was that we RESPECTED our fellow sailors. If Seaman Jimmy Smith didn't like Black people, no one cared, no one needed to know, so long as Seaman Jimmy Smith treated all his shipmates the same. No one cared that Tyrone might not like White people, or that Jose might not like Cubans.

All these decades later, I look at the Liberal/Progressive/Democrat part of the population, and I think they would have benefited from boot camp. Hey, I don't really care that you don't like me because I am apparently white. But you assholes need to treat me the same as you treat anyone else.

I treat all uninformed, opinion spouting, fact denying people the same way.
