Tuskegee Airmen will no longer be taught to Air Force recruits

We can. Nothing is stopping you.

Perhaps it is not considered necessary for airmen anymore because there are now plenty of black pilots, which is a far better way to demonstrate blacks can be excellent pilots.

For example, Tony Jones, one of my all-time favorite Boilers.
I don’t know about plenty of black pilots but the ones that are there still experience racism. And this is going on currently.
 
What about black racism B? You know, like you spout here everyday.
I’ve never said anything racist. Speaking out AGAINST racism is not racist. Y’all are the one thy do not went blacks to be hired for anything. Y’all are the ones that do not want the wonderful stories of brave patriots told.

I find it fascinating. The right ringers want all instances of affirmative action or DEI removed. But when it comes to removing racist and offensive confederate statues and monuments or to rename the confederate military base names they want to keep those. Unbelievable.
 
Their story has already been told in this case by the Air Force to the cadets. I’ll ask again, should the Air Force stop telling their story to the cadets? And why.
Because you and other race baiters want to continue to sow racial division by pointing out a persons skin color before their accomplishment. Are we supposed to be more impressed because these pilots are black? Why? What's that say about you in terms of your thought process?
 
I did not start this topic to mental surprised that they were black. I started the topic to find out why their story is being stopped in the Air Force. So far y’all can’t give me any reason and that is telling. One racist in this forum had the nerve to say telling their story is racist. I have a feeling that is the consensus in this forum. I see how y’all want this stuff taken out of schools. Black history in the US is American history and should remain taught in schools. The good and the bad.
I gave you a reason: Because people think their skin color is irrelevant to their ability to achieve great things. Should we recognize every black high school student who gets a 1600 on their SAT? What about Asian or Indian students?

You and your way of thinking is exactly why DEI is being removed.
 
That’s a bunch of bs. It was racism and bigotry that lead to paint is the 1964 Civil Rights Act and then subsequently to affirmative action and now DEI. Getting rid of affirmative action, like the racist right wingers did already, and now getting rid of DEI will only take the US back 60 years. Back to the days of white only hiring regardless of merit. Well if that is the world that you want, knock yourself out.
You sure seem to complain about oppression a lot for someone who's never been oppressed.

Heck yeah you should be impressed these wonderful black men who under extreme Jim Crow era racism in the US armed forces were able to overcome. Be trained how to fly P-41 and P-51 Mustangs. Then become the most demanded fighter squadron group in WWII to protect the B-17 bombers from the German fighter planes. Unlike the white pilots, The Tuskegee Airmen had to be college graduates. That was a challenge in of itself for black folks in those days. In those days, German POWs had more respect by the US military than the black military officers did. I know that you don't like history but I challenge you to watch the 2013 Hollywood movie called "Red Tails". tjreese said that he watched it twice. Or, search YouTube and learn about this group of black men. You like to talk about the violence in Chicago all the time. But when it comes to learning something positive about black Americans you don't want any part of it.
 
If they were not good, why would the USA allow them to fly million dollar planes? BNI can't distinguish when there is a deliberate pick for something by color and others ending up in places not due to color, but merit. He doesn't understand that when someone says I want a black woman for SCOTUS and picks one, that there never was an attempt to get the best person possible and as a result will have her decisions questioned more so than had there been an attempt to be color AND sex blind and just picked the best person.

When you openly suggest that you are picking someone on anything outside of merit, right or wrong when things don't work out the qualifications will always be questioned. Of course someone can point to someone being hired due to a connection, but ALL those individual examples are completely different than when a "demographic" is chosen. By choosing a demographic, the choice ignores the individual! Those that have children or are close to families with children all know that each child is different, even if the environment was as similar as possible. Intersectionality is a cancer on society and the hallmark of the democrat party. I can't think of anything more destructive and illogical if a desire for unity and procurement of an advanced ideal is desired.
Pete Hegseth was chosen on merit?
Was he chosen because of a "connection"?

I guess you can call this a connection hire. That is part of my point in all of this. When affirmative action/DEI goes away, there is going to be a lot of these connection hires which will setback US civil rights decades. All of the folks that fought, and died, for civil rights; their work will be in vain.
