The Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. fire back over removal of story​


On Saturday,

released a statement to USA TODAY expressing disappointment and strong opposition to the removal of the World War II Tuskegee Airmen’s story from the Air Force’s training courses, calling the soldiers "an essential part of American history and carried significant weight" in the war.

"We believe the content of these courses does not promote one category of service member orcitizen over another," the statement reads. "They are simply a part of American military history that all service members should be made aware of."

"We call upon the President and the Secretary of Defense to immediately rescind this action and provide clearguidance to all government agencies to restore the courses to their former status," the statement continues. "As a nonprofit organization, we are required to remain apolitical. The opinions we express today reflect ourvalues as a military heritage organization, committed to telling a full and accurate history of all service members of World War II, regardless of race, gender or national origin."

That's one of the first things I learned in my quest for my Master of Public Health degree. The USPHS kept experimenting on these black Americans pilotd that were infected with syphilis, long after penicillin was available.

It is a core learning regarding human subject experimentation and consent.

Of course he's terrible about black service. No racism here. *eyeroll*

I disagree Lex @The Prowler

The Chinese have some of the highest IQs on earth but are perhaps the worst drivers of any race.

One of my Vietnamese friends would want me to drive her car when we'd go out to lunch. She would say she was a terrible driver. lol

I would just drive my car instead.

I did not correlate driving ability to IQ at all, Senile @Joe. Those were the voices in your head.


So you actually agree that there are differences in driving ability between races.




So you wanna argue, @Larry Loungelizard and @Lily ?

You are going to have to deal with The Titan Warrior of Logic: Senile @Joe!!!!!!

2 women (1 pregnant) an asian and a jamaican and a white high school girl.

There aren't any black people that live in my town
Let me guess, the Jamaican's the pregnant one, right?

And why no homosexuals or other kinds of sexual deviants? That's part of the DEI thing, I thought.

I don't care who they fuck. The Asian and the Jamaican are men. The women are white as well.

I'm just fucking with you, jack. I don't care how you run your business or whom you hire. I would assume you hire people based on whether or not they can do the job you're hiring them for. That's how it should be for all businesses AND government. Hiring and promotion should be based on merit, not some artificial hierarchy of the oppressed like DEI mandates.
