Well, the intent isn’t even barely disguised. In the recent past racism was accompanied with a wink and a nod. Now it’s a badge of honor for these people.

Somehow he always slaps a hard r on "low IQ"

I agree re intent. In that particular msg, a different (no less odious) take is that Trump doesn't really care because to him the world is Him and Everyone Else, but politically he wants to appeal to white nationalists.

From what I’ve read, not being allowed to stand next to Trump may actually be a good thing. (Yes, it’s racist, and good soldiers shouldn’t be denied promotions and opportunities because they’re not White or male. But standing close to Diaper Don should earn them a medal.)

And entirely racist.

Unless and until every white man has the position he wants anyone else is DEI.

they want whiteness to be the only acceptable credential and merit

No doubt that they see Jesus as a blond haired, fair skinned dude from northern Montana, and everyone else isn’t in his image

Exactly. Can I add to the evidence of this meaning? Stupid-ass Kid Rock said on an interview that he was going to ask Jay-Z to play at his alternative Super Bowl but didn’t because “DEI.” No mention that he somehow wasn’t “qualified” to play. Only one thing that ass was referring to. SMH.

Why do you think he doesn’t realize it?

I should have said "acknowledges" instead of "realizes." I was giving the shithead too much benefit of the doubt.

On this issue John Roberts is the most extreme member of the Supreme Court. His entire career project since law school has been laser focused on reversing all of the civil rights gains since the Civil War.

Uh he definitely knows it does and is a big fan.

He won’t believe it until you definitely identify the racist bone and show him

He’s racist himself…

you need to get a signed and notarized letter that confirms that you are a racist for him to believe it still exists.

John Roberts realizes it, and he endorses it.

The moronic white males think they hold all the power. They say DEI as if its a negative aspect to hiring educated, well qualified people. Outside of their own orbit of racism and psychotic behavior none of them are qualified to do what they're doing as evidenced by the chaos we now live with.

So many American's fail to understand that "leave race out of it" explicitly centers a form of racial politics.

Exactly this, and it’s disgusting. Signed, a middle aged white lady doing her best for justice and equity for all

Hegseth himself proves it. On what planet should a Major in the national guard take the place of Lloyd Austin, a 4 star general with 41 years of experience?

Their insistence that a white person with no experience or competence is better than any PoC with years of expertise and knowledge tells the whole story. Why else would you vote for this depraved bag of sh&t when Clinton or Harris were the options??

Ron Johnson. Donald Trump. Jared Kushner. Way too many to name.

Exactly. Most predictable thing in the world.

In the military and Department of Justice a great number of important jobs have been filled by people who are underqualified and whose main selection criteria is articulating opinions congruent with right-wing talk radio.

It's the same playbook we all heard about for years, they just did a find+replace "affirmative action hire" for "DEI hire". It's always been an assumption of the unworthiness of non-whites and non-males.

And because they view being white and male as the only qualifications that matter, they're hiring a huge number of the most unqualified people in history

Gather a crowd of people and look around. A lot more racists standing there than one might estimate.

They might when they realize this means the "boots on the ground" are all gonna be straight white guys.

Will this garbage ever end???

I was just thinking this. They are mad at having their racism called out for what it is than the racism they are in fact doing. Its because of how circular our media for rightwingers is. "It can't be us that are wrong about race...must be the blacks" -some woman at mar a lago party wearing a mask

He has always been a racist. Always.

He’s in love with Nicki Minaj though🤷🏻‍♀️

The great majority of us wouldn't walk across the street to be introduced to Trump either. Like, the millions who will be protesting this Saturday. The day is already here when NO ONE will claim to have known him ... just like Epstein.

Trust me, I’m sure the feeling is mutual, although not rooted in racism. I certainly would not want to stand beside a traitor and especially not while wearing the uniform. It would require too much effort to suppress the competing internal thoughts demanding action.

And yet Buria doesn’t look like Hegseth, Trump, etc. He’s a clown-ass fucking dipshit who is just as bad as those white racists he works for.

I wonder how she feels about standing next to him.

Enraging

And you were again correct.

Trump is a despicable excuse for a human being. Always more than willing to sink lower than we ever thought possible. It's his evil super power.

I literally just got through lashing a dude for posting thinly veiled "white genocide conspiracy" dog whistles and the amount of racial angst that it triggered among his buddies was unreal. They really think they are still being coy and careful in their wording despite becoming ever more obvious.

Especially a black woman whose accomplishments dwarf his.

Pigs

And you were right. Reading that quote this morning was stunning, although it felt true.

their attacks on DEI only make sense when you understand they don't believe women or people of color have any merit whatsoever

Er, that should be Jan. 20, 2029…

Pedolf's whole administration is about "gutter racism"... My mixed racial daughter just cancelled a vacation to Florida after the NAACP and ACLU suggested going there was not safe for "light skinned people".... Very scary times...

Yes, it was blindingly obvious. Still is. But the Supreme Court wants it this way, so I'm losing hope.

Vile.

Anyone who doesn't want to believe otherwise, at this point, is also a huge part of the problem.

*white racists/rapists/pedophile men

Imagine what white males and females would do if Obama said he didn’t feel comfortable having a white male/female standing next to him at ceremonies. I thought republicans were all about merit!

The military brass has been almost entirely ... wonderful. Appreciation, in spades, to Gen Driscoll. They're forming a protective barrier.

specifying "misogynistic" would have covered all the bases

It always has.

Now Hegseth is holding up promotions of women and black colonels to generals. When are people going to make a stink about this???

Moved back to Chi from LA early 70s. Mickey said "call collect". I did. 10 yrs old, kinda dumb They had no kids & took a shine to me. I missed 'em Mom talking about no more collect calls, out of nowhere: "Honey, you know Al was black, right?' Honestly hadn't noticed Long gone, still miss 'em

George Wallace blushing from his grave

Supported by SCOTUS! www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Trump's GOP has been very clear about their white (male) supremacist views. When you and others called them out, you were dismissed as alarmist. Anti-DEI means white males only. Anti-woke means anti-truth.

My heart tells me that resistors need a hopeful song. This tune examines the disintegration of the MAGA cult due to their leader’s crazed behavior. youtu.be/KSCZPNJMAGk?...

I've read that, and it was as gross as he is.

I have no trouble believing this at all

Yup. Growing up in Texas, noticing the composition of the "Gifted and Talented" and then "Advanced Placement" classes I was put in, it was pretty obvious what was going on. "Meritocracy" was ALWAYS favoring well-off whites over everyone else. It was always just "Aristocracy".

Wow. Just fucking wow.

🤣

Well, you’re the ones with big penises. Little white men feel emasculated

As opposed to genteel racism

Just so.

Well then, tell (p)resident trump try lying down in a CEMETARY or BUNKER if he doesn't want to stand next to her!

So... we're officially done pretending Trump isn't racist? Good. That was getting tedious. We can now move on to pretending he isn't dumber than a box of rocks.

She probably doesn't want to stand next to the draft-dodging- alledged-bone -spurs- having-caller-of -troops- as "suckers" & "losers" either.🤨

Mr. Buria pimpin for Caveman Donnie.

I mean, these people were never difficult to understand in terms of their motivations and worldview - it's just that too many people and entities went to great lengths to ensure that they were hard to understand, and that casual news consumers felt the same way

🤬

I updated "all men are created equal" to "all are equal" when I wrote a new protest song. bsky.app/profile/scen...

I never understood why people didn't know that Trump is a racist The Central Park Five and his comments about Hispanics and Muslims alone should make that clear He's the most racist POTUS we've ever had

Maybe they should consider whether *she* is comfortable standing next to a corrupt White supremacist.

Hegseth is managing to be, in some ways, more of a pig than Donald Trump himself.

How can something be shocking and not shocking at the same time?

I would be more concerned over how General Gant would feel standing next to Trump. At least, she would do her duty, unlike our racist pig of a president.

It’s a White Supremacist regime. It must be removed from power.

And I’m sure everyone was incredibly normal about it when you said it

Segregationist is 𝘧𝘢𝘳 too kind a word, Jamelle. If you won't say it, I will... it's racist through and through. 🧐

Grrr

Sad agreement, segregation continues, and along with greed remains a cornerstone of the Republican party. Pathetic attempts at "window dressing" or not. Theirs remains a "white and male" world.

She shouldn’t have to stand next to a pedophile.

The white male Christian soldiers are needed in Iran. Send all of them.

And there are still Black Republicans who say Trump isn’t racist. SMH

I'm sure MG Gant doesn't want to stand next to a racist conman and rapist, either

They are also neo-Confederates and slavery offers a nostalgic warm and fuzzy glaze in their warped sense of history.

trump just doesn't like to stand next to very competent people. He much prefers his uneducated, unexperienced lapdogs.

When he's alone in a room, he's standing with a child rapist

Confirming his fear and hated of strong black women.

You are correct.

Just because I hit the heart button doesn’t mean I like what that drunken racist freak did at all. JFC. These women are way more qualified than him!

That's all it's ever meant to them; it's just that in the past they were quieter about it. They kept it more private but they never stopped believing that their wrinkly white balls made them superior to all others. Being a racist is a sure sign that you're both stupid, and aware that you ain't shit.

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Donald Trump, his father Fred Trump, and their company, Trump Management Inc., alleging they systematically discriminated against Black people seeking to rent apartments in their New York City properties.

Nakedly racist issues apart - who the hell would want to stand alongside Don Trash?

I didn’t have to see that to understand the code.

I hope these four individuals will sue the f*ck out of Hegseth. So sick of this regime.

NO ONE should be surprised. Trump is a vicious racist. He still thinks the exonerated “Central Park Five” are guilty and should be executed.

I’m befuddled that this Driscoll idiot was so adamant that Trump isn’t racist. Or sexist. Talk about a clueless imbecile.

This administration is such a hateful, vile group of people.

Wow. What a Big Fat old POS

😡

This is a lawsuit. The Trump regime needs to be sued. AGAIN. As many times as necessary. Hound these racist and misogynistic twazzers out of office forever.

I didn't realize standing next to someone at an event was such a critical aspect of "lethality"

Merit is a myth that white ppl, especially men all stellar when it’s a lot more about a mediocre pool of white, male, straight applicants and someone is top of the mediocre pile.

Even the most seemingly benign tendencies have their roots in rank bigotry. Trump's obsession with everyone looking like they were cast for their role seems like a silly, stupid quirk until you put together that means being surrounded by white men.

If the regime wants only white males to occupy its available positions, I would call that fascist homoeroticism.

Absolutely true...
