"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have someone write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long, that nation will forget what it is and what it was." - Milan Kundera

The irony here is soul-crushing. It was the Navajo Code Talkers' ethnicity - their language - that made their contribution possible. It was CRUCIAL to the success in the Pacific Theater during WWII. There is no clearer example of Diversity being a benefit to us all. Now that is being erased.

Are we supposed to believe that these people were only involved in the war, won medals, died fighting for their country because someone decided they needed a hand up as they were not fully qualified? Seems to me it was the other way around. Whitey needed help but now he’s changed his mind.

“The president is a nationalist. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. Although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world." - George Orwell #Resist #ImpeachTrump #MomSky

I’ve had enough. We don’t do kings. We don’t do dictators. And we fight FN fascists - both my gpas fought Nazis… The Trump Regime and all involved are breaking the law and violating the constitution daily. They are committing treason AND DO NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY.

Yeah. Culling stories abt contributions of non-white men from gov records has been taking a lot of effort bc there’s a ton of talented ppl who aren’t white men And programs that try to attract non-white men to places where they’re underrepresented r also good bc they make that talent pool available

All DEI does is remind people to cast the net widely in finding talent. Everyone still has to pass tests to get hired, stay hired, be promoted. Licensing and credentialing are all standard tests. And when some people of color or women did better? White guys couldn't stand it.

As a veteran, I’m overwhelmed by what’s going on with this administration. Trump is in bed with Russia, the SecyOfDefense wants doesn’t want to adhere to the GenevaConvention. The DoJ is full of conspiracy theorists that ignore orders from a federal judge. The country is collapsing.

🤬The eugenicists are out in full force. Anyone that is not white and male is considered less than by default. How weak and fragile must those in agent 🟠's regime be, to think that hiding a history that recognizes everyone, is so threatening.

Removing the Code Talkers' history is a profound act of disrespect to their service & sacrifice. Service & sacrifice is something the the draft dodger criminal rapist know not what MFing thing about! #NativePride

Ah, not so. MAGA jumped on a Navajo Assembly Member in AZ and demanded to know if he was legal and told him to go back where he came from. Apparently they did this IN the Capitol building. There is no bottom for them.

The white folx weren't invited to learn Navajo or Comanche or Choctaw or Mohawk and now the cowardly descendants are whining, believing we Indigenous were DEI hires in the early 1940s

How about it’s just a piece of our history? It’s fact-really happened- give credit where credit is due- or is your superior whiteness too fragile to acknowledge that?

Stop lying. You are erasing White history and culture. Making shit up. Go live in China and screech at the Chinese about their superior yellowness fragility. I'm sure you would have the time of your life feeling oh so morally superior. Bet you avoid dating Asian men, Tracey - but that's not racist!

Much respect to the Navajo Code Talkers and code talkers from the other 33 (?) tribes across the nation. My father had a Navajo roommate while USAAF training during WWII. Dad always spoke highly of the man who went on to the Pacific upon graduation. For certain this group of men helped win the war.

The Navajo codes were very important in World War II because the Nazis were able to crack a lot of the American codes. This is what happens when you have simple people in charge of complex things.

My mother told me it was the Code Talkers who won WWII for us. Neither the Germans nor the Japanese were able to unlock this code because it was based on the Navajo language. If ur ever in Kayenta,AZ stop at the Burger King. They have a lovely exhibit highlighting the code talkers’ work.

They may be trying to change history, but we, the people, will never forget. It is up to us to always remember the heroes who fought and died for our freedom no matter their sex, color, religion, or sexual orientation. This is one of our most important jobs. I will never forget.

@churchlady320.bsky.social

What that started out was the notion DEI was 'preferential hiring' which it is NOT, but now it's full blown racism, sexism. Any indigenous, Black, Brown, Asian person and all women are to be erased. DEI was never about hiring. Always about "we can't stand being equal to others."

When I was a kid, we were taught that the evil Soviet Union rewrote history (literally erasing people from photos, for example)—something that the free USA would NEVER stoop to and it’s people would never fall for. Are we going to fall for THIS?!

I remember the picture in my textbook with Trotsky erased and someone's now-flat arm in his place. We all made fun of how silly it looked. My 11th grade history teacher just observed that the point wasn't artistic quality, was it? One of my best teachers.

This is insane! Arlington Cemetery web site deletes black and women military information because of DEI. Now this. Why is Congress - all of them - not speaking up??
