Beatenballz doesn’t consider itself to be black.

Knows it’s not black but desperately craves to be white.

Some others like him too.

You know...I interact with some ahem 'non-white folks' here who would take medical advice from a white truck driver over that of a black doctor. Nuff said. They feel that they are white-adjacent. I ahte the race debates because truth be told, some of my best buddies here ..drinking football etc are white, but this agenda coming from the republican party slams you in the face and the black repubs are in denial

Come back if and when they disinter the bodies. Death, after all, is the great equaliser.

I know I shouldn't admit it, but my vocabulary just expanded.

Who knows, that might be the next move. Trump wouldn't want to be buried in the same cemetery as black people.

Well, the latest deletion is the records of Jackie Robinson's accomplishments in his military service. This administration is shameless in their obvious mission to downgrade the accomplishments of people of color.

Not only the administration. It looks like an all-round effort to at least ignore if not belittle people of color.

Just went through the linked 'slider' and there was not a single reference to the accomplishments of 'famous' foreign-born people of color (let's ignore Sammy Sosa for this purpose, he's actually Hispanic).

Famous immigrants who make America great

Jackie Robinson's Army history scrubbed from Department of Defense websites
An article about the baseball great Jackie Robinson's time in the Army has been removed from the Department of Defense's website.

The new webpage URL, now adding "dei" to the link, shows a "404 - Page Not Found" error, implying the change is connected to President Donald Trump's executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The article titled, "Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier," mentioned Robinson's time in the Army, when he was drafted in 1942. The original article is still readable through Archive.org.

Also part of the purge of Jackie Robinson's history of military service were pieces published on the Army and the Air Forces' websites.

A search of the Army's website for "Jackie Robinson" found 18 results. Of those 18 articles, 14 of them have now been deleted.

Bess in the wurrlll stuff!

I don't get this.

There is economic value in slavery. Evil but I see the why.

What is the point in this level of racism? You only piss off voters who care.

If the plan is to be diabolical then you take away the power to vote then you do to them as you please.

I think some AI based half assed algorithm is trying to automate DEI scrubbing and its not working as selectively as they would like...but the agenda is so aggressive they're prepared to carpet bomb the whole thing first and restore selectively based on public outcry?

OR they're just racist to the core and deliberately trying to make Jim Crow great again which is more likely.

Either way its diabolical and evil.

That is why people like BeatenBallz and Inblindsight disgust me.

The evidence of what was coming was all there in front of all of us ..but the negros de la casa were orgasmic for dey leadah.
