    Yes they have been do you support such racial dispairities on a government website?

    Why do you and some blacks want blacks to be treated "more equally" in fact "specially"?

    We note how great the all black Tuskegee Airmen unit was because they were black. Do we also note how great the all white ones were because they were white? Were they not all equally great and honorable and should white children be made just as proud of their race as we attempt with black children with such honorariums? If you are going to point to the accomplishments and worthiness of one race should we not for all races?

    Who has said anything of the sort? I even posted the links to show they were all STILL being noted for their accomplishments. Stop trying to make things up because you can't defend what this is actually about.

    Are you trying to deny that special recognition was given to their race/gender?

    I just looked up Audie Murphy
    https://www.arlingtoncemetery.mil/E...ents/World-War-II-MoH-recipients/Audie-Murphy

    No mention he was a white male.

    Donavon
    Halsey
    Byrd
    McAurther
    Lehey
    Basilone
    and on and on I haven't found one white male where it is noted he was a white man.

    You are the one crying about something not me, I am perfectly happy with getting rid of the racial distinctions and special notations and celebrations.

    I passed on a tip on how to access such cites without having to register or give out your personal information...simply insert "archive.is/" into the address line...oh well sorry you took offense won't do it again.

    What do you mean that is "now" the claim. That has always been the claim.

    The special recognition paid to these service heros was 100% based around their race and gender.


    If the basis for directing me to them is because they are a minority or female. Yes. Scrub that. It's immaterial to their accolades.


    LOL. You still can't seem to get it.

    Your desire to point me to them, rather than anybody else, because of their skin color or gender is the racism.

    You've just been engrained to believe that racism and sexism is perfectly fine so long as it's against certain demographics you feel are not capable of being discriminated against.

    That isn't how it work.

    Your support of giving these people special recognition based on race and sex that is not afforded to other people of other races and sex is the discrimination. I don't understand why you can't see this.


    AHHHHH FINALLY!

    Finally you're willing to try to defend your racism and sexism as a means of social justice.

    You find it acceptable to discriminate against straight white males, because more than a hundred years ago, discrimination existed. So you need to align to a political ideology that present day discrimination is acceptable because you are "righting wrongs".

    Such an activist. A real social warrior.

    No, all you are doing is continuing to perpetuate racial divides directed towards people that had NOTHING to do with what occurred a hundred years ago.

    You aren't righting any wrongs. All youre doing is trying to rationalism your racism.

    Oh, it absolutely matters.

    As a straight white male, that is perpetually discriminated against, it absolutely matters.

    And then the arrogant dismissive attitude because your social justice racism is called out.

    "Just suck it up, deal with it, you're fine".

    I desire an ACTUAL society where racism and sexism and any other type of bigotry is a thing of the past. You desire to continue it.

    Oh, don't skirt over your racism. You give "others" preferential treatment not available to white males.

    That's racism. You're a racist. Sorry, it is what it is.

    You sound just like those southern democrats and how they responded to the slaves and their desire for freedom.

    Some people will never change.

    Stop supporting racism, and people would stop being victims of your racist actions.

    All you have is basically "yup, im a racist, but it's deserved, so stop crying".

    What a craptastic ideology.

    Another racist that can't seem to comprehend that they are the racist.

    If you give somebody notoriety based on their skin color or gender, that you won't give to people that aren't of a certain race or gender... you're discriminating.

    I am not really surprised by all of this. Democrats have ALWAYS been the racists. Today, they still are.

    I worked in high tech, as a programmer, then as a technical writer when I finally got burnt out on coding. (And in case you're wondering, yes, I was a COBOL expert.) It's still pretty much a boy's club. I didn't smash any glass ceilings, but I did kick down a few doors. ;-)

    Oh ffs. So many poor, mistreated little white boys. What's a mommy to do? </sarcasm>

    At this time, just acceptance would be nice, so yeah, a little special recognition helps minorities and does no harm to our many white male heroes and role models. Hopefully, we'll eventually reach a place where it just doesn't matter, but at this time, the insecurities of white men, who still hold nearly all of the power in American society and politics, are seeing "others" take on traditional white male leadership roles and are choking on their neckties.

    Relax, guys. We still love and respect you, we just want a share of the glory of personal achievement when we've damn well earned it.

    OK then give EQUAL representation to White men and have websites devoted to the White male heros and directions to the White male grave sites too. EVERYONE's personal achievement can be notarized why should some be discriminated against? At this point just a little acceptance on your part of the roles White Men played in all our wars and their sacrifices would be nice and and does no harm to our many black and women heroes and role models.

    No fight and no more friendly tips since you already know how to Google everything.

    Either you didn't read my last paragraph, or your reading comprehension needs a refresh, or for some odd reason you think that I'm against recognizing white men altogether and was being sarcastic. I wasn't. I have family and friends who served or are still serving. This is what I mean by insecurities.

    White men are not now, nor have they ever been, downtrodden, ignored, or held back due to gender or race. You are not victims. Minorities aren't out to replace you, we aren't out to minimize your contributions. We don't want to be recognized instead of white men, but in addition to. If that's asking too much, then there is no use arguing about it. Keep whining, if that's what works for you.

    Hey, DOGE should take down Sandra Day O'Connor's webpage. It's filled with DEI. What do you think?

    This is not about downtrodding or ignoring anyone this is about celebrating the various races for the accomplishments of their races and sex as long as they are not white men. Why should white men not receive the same acknowledgement and accolades for representing the race and sex in the field of battle? What harm would it be to blacks and women? Would it make them insecure?

    I agree so tell it to the minority groups that are whining about getting SPECIAL acknowledgement and accolades. Make it equally on the basis of race and sex or not at all.

    Backwards. Like I said, acceptance is still new to minorities. Let us have a little bit of recognition. How does it even affect you? You can't be that insecure.

    Nope backwards is making it about race, forward is getting rid of such racial divides and special notations. Why are they so insecure they must have special racial acknowledgements. If blacks achieve such things BECAUSE they are black could not the same be said about Whites or are Blacks superior?
