A rogue member of the U.S. Army sent out an e-mail to all personnel proclaiming the phrase “Make America Great Again” an indicator of white supremacy. Other things that “prove” racism are celebrating Columbus Day and saying “all lives matter.” Def-Con News just got reporting that “all lives matter” is now a hate crime and it appears someone in the U.S. military is trying to make it a court-martial offense as well. Hopefully the traitorous scum who sent this e-mail faces a court-martial himself.
Breitbart reports:
A U.S. Army email, sent after the Fourth of July to its military and civilian members, included a graphic which claimed saying the phrase “Make America Great Again” is evidence of “white supremacy.”
The graphic listed other behaviors it deemed evidence of white supremacy, including, “Celebration of Columbus Day,” the “Denial of White Privilege,” “Talking about ‘American Exceptionalism,’” and saying “There’s Only One Human Race.”
The email invited “all soldiers and (Department of the Army) Civilian Personnel” to attend the U.S. Army’s “Operation Inclusion” seminars on July 8 and 9 at the Redstone Arsenal Army Base in Alabama. The email was sent by Chaney P. Pickard from the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Center using an official government email.
The message named the “U.S. Army Equity & Inclusion Agency” and “Assistant Secretary of the Army — Manpower and Reserve Affairs” as authors.
The Army acknowledged the e-mail and claimed it was all a big misunderstanding with this statement:
On July 6, 2020, a Project Inclusion listening tour handout included two unapproved pages that were sent out in error and immediately recalled. The slides – copied from a non-government website – included a word cloud with phrases that were intended to spark conversation; however, the document was predecisional and inappropriate for the discussion. The unapproved pages were in no way used as part of the ‘Your Voice Matters’ listening tour sessions.
As soon Department of the Army leaders were made aware of these products the Army initiated a 15-6 investigation to determine how this happened. The Army does not condone the use of phrases that indicate political support. The Army is and will continue to remain an apolitical organization.
Included with the ridiculous e-mail was this even more ridiculous “food pyramid” of white supremacy:
As you can see, blackface and the N-word are among the worst offenses, slightly less bad than murdering black people but slightly better than actually being in the KKK. Someone should send this to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and Joe Biden, who are guilty of a few of these.
Some of the other things are too funny for words:
Calling the police on black people
“Don’t blame me, I never owned slaves”
Assuming good intentions are enough
English-only initiatives
Fearing people of color
Paternalism
Weaponized whiteness
Actually they’re all pretty funny. Give ‘em a squint. The words are kind of small.
So if you’ve never owned slaves, were scared of black thugs, called the police on said black thugs, speak English, or think families should have a father, you just might be a white supremacist.
I sure as hell am according to this guide. I have never owned slaves, lock my car doors when I drive through Compton, once called the police on a black piece of shit who robbed me at gun-point, speak English, and am a father. I may be the most weaponized white guy ever.
I mean, I’ve never moonwalked in blackface or delivered the eulogy at a KKK Grand Cyclops’ funeral, but some of that other stuff I do all the time.
