US Air Force Academy: Racist slurs written on 5 black cadet doors at prep school | Fox News

I really don' t know how much longer we can accept a President who is sitting in the Oval office that continually stirs up the division in this country--by making outrageous comments--(stirring the pot) by calling black NFL players son of a bitches that needed to be fired. He started this entire mess. While just last month stated that whites that were marching in Charlottesville holding Nazi flags--"there were good people in that group."

Here is a REAL Viet Nam Veteran, and sports announcer out of Dallas, Texas that has this to say. This is media matters a Facebook comment, if you can't hear it there is a volumn icon on the video.

You can also blame Brietbart News, Steve Bannon for this for adding the new wing of Neo Nazi's and the KKK to the Republican party.

How many of those slurs were written by Black candidates in yet another false flag operation?
 
Very sloppy reporting (editing?) by Fox News. The story completely failed to show any linkage between Trump's comment and the (unspecified) content of racist slurs at the academy. The reader (as it appears the OP was) is thus inclined to accept such linkage with absolutely no basis, what so ever, having been presented to support that assertion.

I'm wondering if liberals/progressives are to blame due to calling any person who votes GOP is a racist.

Trump has an atrocious record of not filtering his speech and speaking civilly; however, I have not heard Trump or Bannon say that people should write racial slurs anywhere. Some Democrats have been as bad as Trump. I wish both Trump and some Democrats would learn to be more civil. The people who wrote the slurs are the ones who are responsible for their actions.
 
I would prefer to wait and see what an investigation uncovers.

I personally find it unlikely that a white supremacist candidate would have made it into the Air Force Academy, which, like West Point and Annapolis, is a highly selective Federal Military Service academy requiring background checks, entrance exams, physical and psychological testing, etc.

While it is still possible this was a racist act, I am also open to the possibility of a false flag act by someone trying to create an issue which may not really be present.

Time, and the investigation report, will tell.
 
I bet it was a Mexican.





 

I was a life long Republican until you made this Ass Clown the poster boy of the Republican party, and I changed my party status to Independent, and followed the advice of a long time friend and former staffer of the RONALD REAGAN--a true patriot of this country--that would have never made those kinds of comments while praising people (calling them good people) that were marching with the KKK and Neo Nazi's.


Those of you who voted for Trump have brought a foul scourge upon this nation.



The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln or Reagan. It is now the party of Trump--stuffed full of ignorance, hate, fear, anger, bigotry and misogyny. This party is no longer recognizable to me.

How many were written my people who think that blacks are lovely but this is what one does now if one desires attention because in these intolerant times using the right words nets tons of attention?

Let's find out before we conclude that we know what happened here.
 
The BIGGER point is that regardless of who wrote it, if this cadet can’t handle any name calling, harassment or hazing then they don’t belong in our military!
 

I have been a Republican since the late 1970s, but I did not vote for Trump. I think there are quite a few Republicans who felt as I did. I think a lot of Trump voters were not GOP voters until 2016. How many is unclear to me.
 
By the way, you don't make the GOP better by running away. You stand and let your voice be heard.

If you read the original post close--on the Brietbart you'll see that there were a large group of Neo Nazi's---KKK members and what is known as the ALT right that are now another wing of the Republican party. They were even making robo calls for him during the campaign season.

I really don't see the Republican party--regaining a foothold for integrity and trust after Trump. I think this did it for the Republican party.

I have stood with it for 40 years. I warned about Trump over and over again, and was kicked off every Republican facebook page throughout the primary. There's no way to change it back to the way it was--there are too many powerful forces that we have to fight, and these people have micro-phones and we don't.

No, that is not the bigger point. There is literally zero reason why we should allow anyone stupid enough to think it's okay to call another service member or future service member racial slurs or harass them into our military. You may think that's a-ok because all of the "good ole boys" do it, but it's not something we should tolerate.

Hmmm...I did say:

That same testing should also rule out a black flag operation. And the results are in:

Here I thought that following orders and maintaining loyalty to the service was what was needed.

What results are "in?"

You provide a Young Turks video? Other than showing the video of a General's proper statement on how things will be dealt with, absolutely nothing but their typical SJW Progressive-Leftist B/S personal opinions are on the subject. :roll:

How is this a "results are in" response to "wait until the investigation is over?" :coffeepap:
 

Did you even listen to his speech?

Superintendent Lieutenant General Jay SilveriaJay Silveria’s full speech to an audience of 4,000 cadets and 1,500 faculty members and military personnel.

Ladies and gentlemen, you may have heard that some people down in the prep school wrote some racial slurs on some message boards. If you haven’t heard that, I wanted you to hear it from me. If you’re outraged by those words then you’re in the right place. That kind of behavior has no place at the prep school, it has no place at USAFA, and it has no place in the US Air Force.

You should be outraged, not only as an airman, but as a human being. And I’ll tell you, that the appropriate response for horrible language and horrible ideas, the appropriate response is a better idea. So that’s why I’m here. That’s why all these people are up here on the staff tower, so let me have everybody who’s up here please pull forward to the rails. Also, there’s so many people here, they’re lining the outsides along the windows. These are members of the faculty, coaching staff, AOC’s, AMT’s, from the airfield, from my staff, from my headquarters, all aspects of the 10th Airbase Wing, all aspects that make up USAFA and the United States Air Force Academy leadership is here. You heard from Brigadier General Goodwin, Brigadier General Armacost is here, Colonel Block from the athletic department is here, Mr. Knowlton is in Washington, DC right now.


So just in case you’re unclear on where I stand on this topic, I’m going to leave you with my most important thought today: If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you can’t teach someone from another gender, whether that’s a man or a woman, with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you demean someone in any way, then you need to get out. And if you can’t treat someone from another race or a different color skin with dignity and respect, then you need to get out.

I'm not sure how you missed is but the superintendent of the Academy does not see this as a "black flag operation": - he sees it as a racist attack. Apparently you see him as spouting typical SJW Progressive-Leftist B/S personal opinions. Since he is in charge of the Academy, I have to assume that he knows more than you do.


“You should be outraged”: A US Air Force general gives a lesson in leadership after racist slurs
 

Based upon what exactly? How is this anything more than a guess?
 

Not quite. :no:

He is stating that such behavior has no place in the Academy, military service, or anywhere and will not be tolerated.

That was right and proper...regardless of whether it was an actual racist incident or a false flag incident.

He also was right to state that whoever perpetrated this incident has no place in the service.

Again, this applies to either an actual racist incident or a false flag incident.

You are reading what you wish to see into it. :shrug:

If the Superintendent of the Academy's speech to the cadets isn't proof enough of an investigation proving racist attacks then you're so biased that there is no proof you would believe.
 
Do you remember how for the last eight years there were some on the right who blamed everything bad that happened anywhere in the US on Obama. Do you remember how stupid you thought that was. Will guess what you're doing the exact same thing and it's just as dumb when you do it is then those on the right did it.
