It’s one factor to say that range, fairness, and inclusion initiatives give an unfair benefit to individuals of coloration inside organizations; it’s a gross overstep to make use of DEI as an excuse to purge the existence of notable Black, Hispanic, and veteran girls from Arlington Nationwide Cemetery — which is precisely what the Trump administration has executed.
Based on MSNBC, the ultimate resting place for some 400,000 troopers has scrubbed its web site of the gravesites of notable “distinguished minority veterans, in addition to instructional pages on the Civil Struggle, African American historical past and girls’s historical past.”
They’ve additionally eliminated all language about range and inclusion and positioned some pertinent details about extraordinary individuals of coloration underneath completely different classes that don’t point out race or gender as a result of the Trump administration hates historical past that makes white individuals look dangerous.
Critically, why else would they need to cease teachings on African American historical past or the Civil Rights Motion, all data that was as soon as on the Arlington cemetery’s internet pages till the Trump administration warfare on DEI? There was once a bit on Black warfare heroes, and that web page is now not there as a result of god forbid some Black little one sees these highly effective pictures and thinks that perhaps he could possibly be a pilot or a Marine someday.

The cemetery is just not totally at fault. A spokesperson for the Arlington Nationwide advised the Washington Publish that they’re simply making an attempt to stick to Donald Trump’s insurance policies after confirming that the webpages of “Notable Graves” of Black, Hispanic, and feminine veterans had been taken down.
As a result of Donald Trump and his brood of white cis-gendered males hate range, they hate anybody who doesn’t seem like them, and they’re working diligently to erase years of progress underneath the guise of “Making America Nice Once more,” which is admittedly only a synonym for white.
Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth has claimed that he’s eliminating “wokeness” within the army however showcasing the work of individuals of coloration within the Armed Forces isn’t “woke,” except “wokeness” means individuals of coloration (I admit that I don’t know what wokeness means now that it’s been bastardized by MAGA).
MSNBC notes that considered one of Donald Trump’s first firings when taking workplace was to eliminate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers, Air Pressure Gen. C.Q. Brown, a Black man, and some of the extremely adorned officers and changed him with a white cis-gendered man.
He additionally pushed out “Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the top of the U.S. Navy and the primary lady to steer any department of the armed forces.” Her firing left the armed forces with none 4-star feminine commanders.
Since being confirmed as protection secretary, Hegseth famous that he believes the dumbest phrase within the army is “Our energy is in our range.” So clearly he was for a ban on all cultural heritage celebrations, “together with Black Historical past Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Nationwide American Indian Heritage Month, LGBTQ Pleasure Month, Ladies’s Historical past Month, Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day,” MSNBC reviews.
Oh and in case you needed to clear up any doubt, sure, they need to ban trans individuals from serving within the army.
And get this: After scrubbing the Pentagon of some 26,000 pictures that confirmed veterans of various races and identities, in addition they took down a picture of a World Struggle II B-29 plane that dropped the world’s first and solely atomic bomb on Hiroshima as a result of it was named “Enola Homosexual.”
I hate all the pieces.
