Yea, we better keep old school library books to keep history alive.

This is shameful.

Love to hear the MAGA defense.

Like to see if they can avoid the word "racist".

When will the US government get rid of the Jive Talkers? Asking for a country...

#4 | Posted by catdog at 2025-03-18 09:35 AM

So much of what they are taking down has to do with the progress the US military made because of WW2 and the nation facing the potential of its own systemic racism in the wake of fighting Nazi Germans and the breathtaking horrors of all that whites on whites violence.

"Navajo Code Talkers disappear from military websites after Trump DEI order"

"Israel will be erased from the map."

Same energy.

Is their assertion that any accomplishment that wasn't made by white men was due to DEI. That every woman or minority only ever did anything with the help of DEI?

#7 | Posted by TFDNihilist at 2025-03-18 09:45 AM

And isn't this the same folks who were bleating that tearing down monuments to Confederates was "erasing history"?

"Is their assertion that any accomplishment that wasn't made by white men was due to DEI."

Republicans are afraid to show themselves in any of the threads on this topic.

So we will never know.

But we know.

Are these cases of incredible over reach, pendulum swinging back too far? Or are they cases of malicious compliance to the DEI orders.

Legit question, I have been too busy the past couple weeks to take a good look of my own.

"Are these cases of incredible over reach, pendulum swinging back too far? Or are they cases of malicious compliance to the DEI orders."

It's neither, you fatuous goober.

This is racism, for the sake of racism.

It's what every Trump voter wanted.

An honest Republican might but there are too few of those left and none of them come here.

For MAGA, racism is a guilty pleasure. A guilty HUGE pleasure.

#12 you used a lot of words to say "I don't know either" Snoofy

#14 | Posted by kwrx25 at 2025-03-18 10:02 AM

Listen good:
I know it's racism.
You're the one pretending it's something else.

He lives is a pretend world where ICE doesn't go after kids and firing the head of the FAA doesn't cause plane issues.

Isn't he black? I can never remember which ones are the Quislings.

#17 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-18 10:07 AM

It's especially ironically egregious to these folks since through most of our history women and minorities not only didn't get help from DEI, but had to work extra hard and long to overcome the sexism and racism of the times.

#18 | Posted by TFDNihilist at 2025-03-18 10:10 AM

"I have been too busy the past couple weeks to take a good look of my own."

Of course you have. These days, who has the time to take a good look at these things and write about what's going on?

I love how the cancer shows up here and is all soft-spoken.

It's the curse of the fence sitting "moderate".

Speaking of fence sitters.
Can Eberly tell if it's racist?
I bet he can't.

#19: Hi Snoofy: "These days, who has the time to take a good look at these things and write about what's going on?"

Ain't that the effin' truth? Trumpf and his demonic horde are mercilessly fire-hosing Americans with injustice left, right, top to bottom: images.genius.com

#19 I know they are happening... What I asked is what were they ordered vs what did they implement. Did you look into the specifics of each, or are you assuming it's just racism. Very well could be, but given the time I'd love to know the specific order vs what they implemented and who interpreted the order.

I know it's just easier to assume the absolute worst, and it could be, but it's way more fun to just run with the assumption it seems.

#24 | Posted by kwrx25 at 2025-03-18 10:59 AM

"Did you look into the specifics of each, or are you assuming it's just racism."

Listen again:
The order to remove DEI is racist.
That's not an assumption.

Since you're convinced it might not be racism: Tell us, what would look different, if this was really racism.

Or are here to tell us you are unable to discern the nuance between "might be racism" and "actual racism."

So you're starting from a conclusion that I don't agree with.

"So you're starting from a conclusion that I don't agree with."

You said you aren't educated on this topic.
Fix that, or shut your ignorant mouth.

#28 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-18 11:15 AM

Everyone can see that you're being deliberately antagonistic because you're a bored, lonely internet ----- desperate for attention.

No point is being a douchebag over demanding the acceptance this is racism. Unless douchebag is all you have.

It's racism. It (the change on the military websites) just happened and I'm sure there will be more on this to come.

Now, continue with your 3rd grade game of "can't you see it's racist!!!!" game while you're picking your nose and flinging it onto others.

#29 | Posted by eberly at 2025-03-18 11:34 AM

"shut your ignorant mouth."

You're such a liar. The LAST thing you want is for him to shut his mouth. What on earth do you have better to do than to chase this guy around begging for attention?

In the next 15 minutes, you're gonna make 6 posts directed at me and him with your juvenile arrogance ordering him and anyone else crazy enough to respond to you with "fix that, shut your mouth, you're a cancer", etc....

what a ------ tool.

Oh man. I was wrong. Eberly can tell it's racism.

Maybe Eberly can explain it to KWRX25!
