(CNN) - The highest-ranking officer in the US Marine Corps has ordered Confederate-related paraphernalia to be removed from all Marine installations.

The order from Commandant Gen. David Berger was one of several initiatives he prioritized for "immediate execution" in a memo sent to senior leadership last week, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Joseph Butterfield told CNN.
 
from that same article:
Earlier this month, the Military Times released a poll showing 36% of troops who responded said they personally witnessed examples of white nationalism or ideological-driven racism in recent months. That was an increase from the year before, when only 22% reported the same, the Military Times reported.

Poll participants reported witnessing not just racist language and discriminatory attitudes, but swastikas being drawn on service members' cars, tattoos affiliated with white supremacist groups, stickers supporting the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi-style salutes between peers, according to the Military Times.
now why oh why might this be happening? if only i could put my finger on it :rolleyes:
 
The white nationalism movement has gotten out of hand in Arizona. On Tuesday I worked at a construction site where all of the workers were either Mexican-American or native. We were pouring and finishing concrete, so after the pads were poured and screeded, we had time to talk in between floating and finishing each pad.

I heard story after story about tense standoffs with belligerent young drunk pricks and demeaning conversations with clients who are retired snowbirds from the Midwest. Trump has really emboldened people who harbor white supremacy views.

The lead contractor, who is Apache, was mistaken for a Mexican at a nearby retirement community. When he gave a potential client a quote for her job, she said, "You're Hispanic, so your quote too high." He said to me, "I told her that's my quote, and I just walked away, because there was no reason to turn that from being a situation involving one stupid person to a situation involving two stupid people."

The hell of it is, these guys have plenty of work demand already, and the retired communities still think they should work for peanuts. These workers are experts, and there are almost no construction crews in the region that are primarily Caucasian.

Another guy told me about a job he did last week installing sidewalks at a high school in an affluent suburb of Tucson called Oro Valley. They had just done the final troweling on the last section of sidewalk toward the end of the day, when a young local cop pulled up and asked to see the ID of each worker. The young idiot was going to try to bust them for being "illegals".

Trump has poisoned the social fabric with all his fear mongering about Mexicans being primarily drug addicts, rapists, and murderers. Racism has gone right out into the open.
 
I suppose they will have to surrender their Charlie Daniels cds. :)

Ole Charlie was a bit of a pioneer back in the day, he got his draft notice along with Elvis and the Vettebigot in the early 1960s...this was before Vietnam. Ole Charlie had bigger fish to fry, so he always kept leapfroggin' one town to another, ahead of the draft board, becoming one of the very first draft dodgers....in peacetime!

He didn't become a flag-waving uber-patriot until he got too old and fat to serve.

Agreed. Disgusting.
 
Agreed. Disgusting.

Agree as well. They should suppress all that Confederate/White Power shit until after they leave active duty. I might have my disagreements with BotanyBoy, but to his credit he didn't actively tout his Confederate/White Power shit until after he left the Army.
 
Oh puhleeze. The only uniform BB ever wore was from Wendy's.

uhuh

he's a smart guy

kinda scary, really, just how much of that old white-supremacist stuff is still out there but was under wraps for a while. now, trump hand-feeds them the kind of daily shit they thrive on

the world turns, times move on--eventually--and i'm sure most of those old white people will be praying like good people when the virus defies their president
 
Lol, isn't that an irony?


Worshipping the treason flag.

They were treated too kindly after the war...

Says the white guy who hurls racial slurs at people of color then accuses them of being white supremacist when they don't hate liberalism as much as you do.

I've never actively touted any confederate or white power anything ever....Rob's just lying because that's what he does, incessantly.
 
Man, fucking racists and white power asshats are all over the military. It's not a secret and telling them to get rid of their flags aint gonna change it. It's full of people who see it as their only option in life and they blame that on blacks, whites, latinos, whatever. Always someone elses fault they dig shitters for an asshat with a butter bar instead of fucking Jennifer Lawrence and living in mansions.


That last sentence reminded me of Last Tango and now I wanna assfuck Jennifer Lawrence. Anyone got her address?
 
Jesus Fuck but you are beyond stupid.


As an actual Marine,
I never saw confederate ANYTHING...

I think it's White Guilt.
He really hates people of color...

Well, go tell that to Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Joseph Butterfield, then!

You got a membership card, you can still get in the club door, can't ya?

Probably confusing my supporting those confederate flag wavers right to be confederate flag wavers, with supporting their message.

Free speech is a difficult concept for the Robs of the world.
