This is part of the goal of Project 2025. Every accomplished person of color, every African American woman who has risen through the ranks, has to not only be dismissed, but also have their accomplishments denigrated. The larger message to young women is “know your place.”

The only way a Pete Hegseth can be perceived as superior is if the ones surrounding him are inferior to him. Once the privileged white male is promoted to his level of incompetence, he cannot abide competence anywhere near him. And he is viscerally afraid of a strong black woman - one who won’t take sh*t from anyone. 💪

That pretty well sums it up. These people want us to go backward to a time when men told everyone what they could and could not do. Where they really did the most despicable crimes and it was excepted

Well gentlemen that time is gone and no one with a voice or a conscience is going to sit still for that kind of strangle hold or enslavement.

They call it DEI but what it really is is discrimination. They don’t think that any minority should have a decent job. They would rather a white man who’s less qualified have the job. Disgusting

The 13th amendment was written specifically to repackage black slavery as enforced convict labor. The south would accept nothing less. But today...the south still demands black slavery and it's 2025. Empire has no shame and no longer cares even to hide their obvious criminality. Someday they'll be run out of town naked, tarred and feathered, perhaps a few being quartered.

Exactly... and they'll say it's not forced labor because it's in exchange for healthcare sort of like sharecropping was in exchange for land that you never owned.

The key difference that we will beat them into pulp over is the same problem with ICE kidnapping. We're told these extreme measures are for criminals. Criminals only. Then they kidnap every brown person they can abduct. Needing health insurance is no crime but it is now in America. We're already making private profits pimping convicts to American business for way way less than the laughable minimum wage. They'll have to get these new Medicaid freeloaders working for prison wages asap; screw the criminality, the unconstitutionally, just put the young able~bodied gaming lazy moochers to work and do it right fucking now. It'll be racial and cultural minorities first, to comfort the ignorant white trash whose time is coming. Birthing white babies will be the only exemption. The biggest problem is we have no judicial system to put down obvious government overreach because we want to be Nazi Germany again. (I'm white. Hope you don't mind me trashing stupid whites here.)

Exactly, it is a five alarm fire that is burning as a 1 alarm fire IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. Republicans are burning down the country.

When they “unemploy”black people, you will see the rhetoric turn into “they should be back working in the fields”. That is Stephen Miller’s goal. It’s time white people protect black people! That will drive Trump and Miller insane!!

It's horrifying! But people act as if nothing is happening. Wake up, folks! It does not matter what color you are. They are coming after all of us!

I agree with you in that thinking.

I believe the Republican GOP is the reason we have abductions of non white peoples going on in America. I figure it is only a matter of time before they start abducting the black people of this country, and deport them too. Right now though the GOP does need their buddy judge.

The GOP has allowed this, and is complicit.

I stand with all the immigrants, the natives, the people that were forced here against their will, people escaping war, and oppression. It’s way beyond reparations to all those people, and racism must be stomped into the ground.

I will stand in front of them. But I too am terrified. At 72, on Medicaid, etc. On the chopping block. It is terrifying! The horror those innocent people are going through in El Salvador, and the concentration camps all around the USA has to be stopped.

This is the 100+ yr parallel history of Parchman and Angola prison labor pushed out to the recipients of social benefits. Deep South knows it well. Law enforcement after the Civil War would pick up black men and boys, jail them for no reason then rent them out to local farms since the farms had lost their enslaved labor. See the parallels with “losing illegal immigrants?” These penitentiaries still farm and manufacture via these prison labor forces. All flavors on a spectrum well known in US history.

Steven Miller is the silent head of the new Gestapo and hates all non white together with all those chosen by Trump.

Their ultimate goal by removing all the brown immigrants is part of this. Make no mistake they want to bring back slavery.
