    Default Racism plagues US military academies despite diversity gains

    Racism plagues US military academies despite diversity gains

    Dec 3, 2021

    Eight years after he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Geoffrey Easterling remains astonished by the Confederate history still memorialized on the storied academy’s campus – the six-foot-tall painting of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in the library, the barracks dormitory named for Lee and the Lee Gate on Lee Road.

    As a Black student at the Army academy, he remembers feeling “devastated” when a classmate pointed out the slave also depicted in the Lee painting. “How did the only Black person who got on a wall in this entire humongous school — how is it a slave?” he recalls thinking.

    As a diversity admissions officer, he later traveled the country recruiting students to West Point from underrepresented communities. “It was so hard to tell people like, ‘Yeah, you can trust the military,’ and then their kids Google and go ‘Why is there a barracks named after Lee?’” he said.

    From his perspective he is probably right. Do you as white person consider it anti-white what he says? From your perspective?

    That is because people who join the military in the USA come from the the lowest classes and the Capitalist class seeks to create artificial divisions along racial etc.. lines rather than class lines.

    The working classes in America are controlled through the schools, education system, health care (e.g. 'mental health') and churches and they are too uneducated to know Marxism is the answer so they would more likely be Trump supporters and brainwashed into simplistic thoughts such as 'marxism bad' due to cold war propaganda and modern day capitalist propaganda.

    I could care less. Let people be, that's what America is all about, I don't see that as "racism". People need to stop being so sensitive/ weak minded.
