It’s one factor to say that range, fairness, and inclusion initiatives give an unfair benefit to folks of colour 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 ladies from Arlington Nationwide Cemetery — which is strictly what the Trump administration has finished.
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 Conflict, African American historical past and ladies’s historical past.”
They’ve additionally eliminated all language about range and inclusion and positioned some pertinent details about extraordinary folks of colour 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 folks look unhealthy.
Significantly, why else would they wish 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 conflict on DEI? There was once a piece on Black conflict heroes, and that web page is not there as a result of god forbid some Black youngster sees these highly effective photos and thinks that possibly he might be a pilot or a Marine in the future.

The cemetery isn’t completely at fault. A spokesperson for the Arlington Nationwide instructed the Washington Put up 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 have 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 appear like them, and they’re working diligently to erase years of progress underneath the guise of “Making America Nice Once more,” which is actually 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 colour within the Armed Forces isn’t “woke,” until “wokeness” means folks of colour (I admit that I don’t know what wokeness means now that it’s been bastardized by MAGA).
MSNBC notes that one among Donald Trump’s first firings when taking workplace was to eliminate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, Air Power Gen. C.Q. Brown, a Black man, and one of the extremely embellished 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, Girls’s Historical past Month, Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day,” MSNBC studies.
Oh and in case you needed to clear up any doubt, sure, they want to ban trans folks from serving within the army.
And get this: After scrubbing the Pentagon of some 26,000 photos that confirmed veterans of numerous races and identities, in addition they took down a picture of a World Conflict 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.
