Jackie Robinson’s Army career wiped from military website in DEI purge

The military story of Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball after serving as a 2nd lieutenant in the Army, no longer exists on the Department of Defense’s website as part of the Trump administration’s wiping out of diversity, equity and inclusion within the federal government.

The Pentagon was ordered by Trump to scan federal websites for articles, social media posts, photos, news articles and videos to remove any web pages that “promote diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Several websites under Pentagon jurisdiction have removed thousands of pages documenting the history of people of color, LGBTQ people, women and others from marginalized backgrounds and their contributions to the American military. Multiple pages about Robinson were taken down, including a page about Negro League players talking about serving in the military. But as of Wednesday afternoon, at least one page about Robinson, in a series about athletes who served in the military, was reinstated.

“As Secretary Hegseth has said, DEI is dead at the Defense Department," Pentagon Press Secretary John Ullyot said Wednesday in a statement to NBC News. "Discriminatory Equity Ideology is a form of Woke cultural Marxism that has no place in our military. It Divides the force, Erodes unit cohesion and Interferes with the services’ core warfighting mission. We are pleased by the rapid compliance across the Department with the directive removing DEI content from all platforms. In the rare cases that content is removed -- either deliberately or by mistake -- that is out of the clearly outlined scope of the directive, we instruct the components and they correct the content accordingly.”

Robinson trained as an officer and was assigned to a tank regiment, but he still had to deal with harassment and the overall policy of segregation in the U.S. military. He faced a court-martial for refusing to sit in the back of a bus while at Fort Hood in Texas, according to Military.com. Though he was found not guilty of the six counts, including insubordination, the court-martial prevented him from deploying to fight in Europe with his battalion.

How about this, SIX ... instead of bitching and whining about poor little ole you, why don't you take that ginormous IQ you claim that you have, and DO something with it?

I know, it's not fair that you can climb out of the hole that youre in and others ... for lack of IQ ... can't. But instead of advocating for a better life for everyone, you insist that everybody be dragged down into the hole you insist on living in?

You remind me of a fable. There were two farmers, living side by side. One, by dint of hard work and a little good fortune, managed to scrape together enough to buy a cow.

The second farmer slowly grew consumed about his neighbor's good fortune.
One day, he heard a rustling in the leaves and came across a tiny creature trapped in a spider's web. So he carefully freed the little thing. The little creature, in a tiny voice, told him in return he would grant the farmer anything he wanted. Anything at all.

So the farmer thought about what he wanted more than anything in the whole world.

SO HE WISHED HIS NEIGHBOR'S COW WAS DEAD.

I don't bother trying anymore because hard work and intellect amount to nothing in this country. Especially if you're a white male.

They've fucked me over all my life, and I'm going to get by the rest of my life doing as little as I possibly can for money to exist.

I feel no sympathy for anybody else in the same position. Especially when they were overpaid, they were hired based off of inherited traits we have no control over, and their job doesn't even need to exist in the first place.

The difference between me and them is that they HAVE to go find another job now. They were the same people bitching the last 4 years that they can't even live on 6 figures anymore.

Boo Hoo

Better figure it out quick.

It usually is people who have to declare that they aren't racists are the ones who are.

I am not surprised by this either and I should have seen this coming too.

I hate to break it to everyone, but everybody is at least a little racist.

It's part of your genetic code.

And if you pretend that you aren't instinctively racist, than you are lying to yourself and everyone else around you, and you shouldn't be taken seriously.

You don't just wave a magic wand and remove that with ad campaigns and guilt.


Maybe one day if we all live in a true utopia and there is no more such thing as a scarcity of goods, it could eventually be bred out of people. But we don't seem to be going that way right now.

Prepare to see a lot of "racist" shit in the future. Not just here, but everywhere in the Western world. We're booting everyone out who doesn't belong. Not just here, but everywhere. And there's nothing anybody can do about it.

We're in a new age of Nationalism. Globalism is dead.

You think you've been shit on because you're a white male?

Seriously??

Yanno what I think?

I think you've been propelled by Trump's candidacy. Now that he's been elected, you're in a SERIOUS slump. (Also, check that your blood sugar isn't averaging too low.)

Your life wasn't perfect, but it could have been worse. Hubby immigrated at 10 not knowing a word of English, but since nobody knew Hungarian he had to learn on his own. His dad was so abusive his mom had a breakdown and became catatonic for a while. He attended University for a couple of years but had to drop out for lack of money, and lived in an abandoned barn while he worked as a mason's helper and paid back his college debt. Got a job doing soldering for General Dynamics and got laid off. Self taught motorcycle mechanic. Self taught electronics designer. Self taught computer designer and programmer. Worked his way up from repair to designing and building research equipment for a major university.

But then, walking thru a minefield at 8 y/o kind of prepares you for doing what you have to do to stay alive, and indulging in emotion isn't it.

So try to get out of that rut that you seem to be in. Get out and see your friends. Take a class in something that interests you. Handyman. EMT (IDK why but I can see you in that role. It's very hands on and often exciting.) Welding. Programming. If classes boggle you, get some counseling to figure out why, bc you're certainly bright enough to learn the material.

But wallowing in that slump isn't gonna do you any good. Ya gotta deal with those highs and lows like a serious issue, because from this angle it looks like they are.

Re: racism.

People who grow up among people of different colors are inherently less racist than people who didn't. One of our daughters caregivers was black, and as part of her employment her two daughters were at our house after school. Dear daughter is less racist than I am, bc I grew up in such a lilly-white neighborhood there were no black kids in junior high and two in a high school of 2000.

AFA taking down info about the contributions of women or minorities ... as long as their achievements are at the same level or better as white males who merit attention, they should be noticed. Code talkers did something that even white males couldn't: their language was, for WWII Japanese, an unbreakable code. They deserve attention.

Everybody poops, but if you do it on the floor in front of others, you are fired. Trump takes an enormous dump on the White House floor in front of cameras several times per day.

Yeah. Everybody. That inlcudes you.

You think you hide your racism through the racism of low-expectations, but it's still there. Democratic party racism is all about maintaining the ability to cheat by telling everybody that we can't have voter ids because black people are too stupid and lazy to go out and get one. Meanwhile, every black person I've ever known has a driver's license.

Democratic Party racism is putting up signs all over Gary, IN that just say "Vote Democrat" with voting day on it. I've never seen "Vote Republican" signs in white neighborhoods.

Democratic Party racism is bussing black and other minority kids into white schools and then dumbing down the cirriculm and test scoring so far that the valedictorian of the school doesn't even know she couldn't read until she got to college.

The Democratic Party is cancer.

Trump has done far more in 7 weeks than Biden* would have done in 8 years. 70% of that so far has just been undoing the damage that your party did over the last 8 years.
