I didn't need more confirmation that Donald is a racist.
But the man does seem to be consciously plumbing new lows.
Apparently he sees a market for such nastiness.
I think it's name is MAGA.

Ain't Jews white?
Other than that one-eyed dancer that palled around with Sinatra.

Polish Jews weren't treated as fully white in the USA until the late 20th century.

Republicans treat Jews the same way they do all non Christian whites.

When the Spanish conquered nations, they slept with the women and killed the men.
When the British colonized nations, the native inhabitants were seen as savages, not pure enough to sleep with.
America is rooted in racism, and Trump is blowing life back into that racism.

Re 6
When Alexander the Great conquered a nation he had his officers marry some of them and he always respected their cultures. He even married a Persian princess himself. In fact, Alexander the Great married multiple Persian women, including Roxana, Stateira, and Parysatis. Alexander also arranged marriages between his officers and Persian noblewomen.
With this method (and his awesome tactical and military skills ) he nearly conquered the entire world.

Irish are white. Polish are white. Italians are eggplants.

Irish weren't always treated as white. Neither were the Polish. Nor the Italians either.

They're literally pausing pride.
There is a message there

As an aside, the racists reveal their racism
National American Indian Heritage Month
Is ACTUALLY the non derogatory name of National Native American Heritage Month
www.defense.gov
I find it someone funny how a bunch of white guys think celebrating the original Americans is somehow DEI.
They just don't get it.
And yet, they DIDN'T stop this:
All-Black Female WWII Unit to Receive Congressional Gold Medal
So, the DoD recognizes the courage, sacrifice and service of an African American Women's unit in WW 2, but we cannot celebrate African American heritage.
The DoD can recognize the honor the contributions of AA servicemen and women, but cannot celebrate AA heritage

Just a random factoid or two
According to available data, the percentage of general officers in the US who are African American is around 6.5%, significantly lower than the percentage of African American officers overall in the military.
According to available data, approximately 13% of officers in the US military are African American, with this percentage being most prominently seen in the Army where Black officers represent around 13% of the officer corps.
According to recent data, approximately 20-21% of active-duty service members in the U.S. military identify as African American, which is a higher proportion than their representation in the general population
According to recent census data, approximately 13.7% of Americans identify as Black or African American alone, making up the percentage of the population that is African American
You see, there is no reason to try to improve this situation. It is as the natural state should have it. White men leading black men, not the vice versa.
Just like jesus ordained it to be.

Remember - the very first slaves brought into America were Irish.
It is the origin of the n-bomb.
In England the coal mining slave force was mostly Irish children, appearing black as "Nigerians".
I'm uncertain the Trump administration isn't going to institute a day of rememberance called "N-----fest" in their honor, but it sounds about white.

"A leaked memo from the Defense Intelligence Agency shows personnel were instructed to suspend observances of certain holidays that do not specifically honor white men"
I did not see anything in the memo directing the DIA to continue observing holidays that specifically honor white men. Maybe because that's not typically a thing?

MythBomber is our very own Trump supporting white supremacist.
If he hasn't seen it, while living in Germany and saluting swastikas, then it's just a democratic hoax.

What's to improve?
There is nothing to stop a black aspirant from becoming an officer any more than there is a white person. Or any other person for that matter. It's just a job. In fact, it's probably easier than most jobs because it just takes effort. The officer corps are typically undermanned. In 2024, my daughter's ROTC detachment accepted 100% of the cadets into the professional cadet corps. It just takes more effort than pursuing some other career path. But it's not like it's a big deal. If you're medically qualified, have the grades, and can pass a PT test and a piss test, you'll likely commission.

Mythers.
A man like you who idolizes Hitler so much, it was only natural you'd be a Trumper.

Heh,
You think I idolize a National Socialist?
Really?
Trust me, you'd have a lot more appreciation for the National Socialist's 25 point plan than myself.

One likes to have a leadership that is predictable, and truth be told, I have absolutely no idea what insanity Trump has in store for us in the coming years...because he is making it up as he goes along. This country is his sandbox, to play in and destroy anything and anyone he chooses.

Trump doesn't know either.
Policy depends on what his feelings are in the moment. Or at least that's how it appears to me.

Then you are not paying attention.
He and his minions have a very clear plan for the future of America-Project 2025.
And that plan just covers the first 6 months.
We are in the beginning stages of a devolution that will transform this country in profound ways rarely seen-and those times always towards liberty and justice-1861-1865, 1935, the 1960s
this is the first successful regressive revolution in our nation's history.
You will not recognize our country before too long.
You have been informed and educated. Be a better person.
Truth Hurts
