GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:
https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/
It is a big racism issue in the Air Force, and is getting out of hand !!!
I had never experienced racism until I joined the usaf.
My son is going through racism in the Air Force. I want to speak to someone about it. I am heartbroken as a mother of an Airman.
God says that tomorrow is not promise to no one not even those who believe The Lord. What people miss big time in this life is thinking about after death. Where are you going to spend eternaty. Either is in darkness attorment place or in Light in the presence of our creator. People need to open their eyes to this reality. People think only for today ignoring thinking. This life is short, what you do today is a reflection of your future
Don't be a career criminal, don't go after a cops gun and try and kill him, don't resist arrest, obey the law. Unfathomable that our Nations Top Military Leaders are sticking up for criminals, and supporting the marxist's, & MSM.
It is a topic that a lot of people overlook and a good amount of people do not think exists. The problem does exist even if you do not see it. There are Airmen who are racist, have views that are heavy with racism, and more. It is hard and difficult for people of color in the military when their leadership does not look like them. Thank goodness that is changing with the new Air Force Chief Of Staff and Chief Master Sergeant Of The Air Force are POC’s. Continue have these discussions and understand the US Air Force is not immune to what is happen in society. Take care and God Bless!
I was in the Air Force for 11 years, and I can tell you there is almost no racism in the military. For an American who has been in the US military or involved in competitive sports to think someone is different because of skin would require them to suspend reality. I'm white, and I was a cop in the USAF and was pulled over and drawn down on while in uniform
4 miles from base by 4 deputy's. Lets not look for racism, because if you look for it you'll find it even where it doesn't exist.
Tune it up
US is so racist that the USAF has a black senior enlisted person, go figure…. Sooo racist…
All a man has is his word, his oath, his pledge of allegiance. Failing in that makes him less of a man, a coward, a traitor. So good you spoke up Master Sergeant because you do not have the faith and courage to be an air force sergeant.
IT IS TIME for white people to STOP talking and start LISTENING….I AM LISTENING
The fact is that in the past the Democrat Party embraced slavery and was once the founder of kkk, why don't these people overthrow the Democrat Party. Spread the word~!
I told whites in the military veterans Hospital this same thing 5 years ago, she brushed me off like I was the problem. "But, the ABBA GOD of Israel will sort this out. HE won't be led by sweet words. He says RECOMPENSE is mine, I will repay."
That for me matters! The military is known for its "crusty-structures" and we should not forget that there is this "looming orange" who is commander in chief. Let's just assume, that he won't be thrilled.
Yet, they sit down and start a conversation, which leads to change. It has to be seen, if the more conservative Army, Navy and Marine Corp follow suit!
By seeing this short video clip I just see some people have given thumbs down means racism cannot be stopped by just saying to stop just have to implement strict laws which can only give protection for different communities live in USA…in my prospective pls respect 🤨🤨🤨 even stop call black or Asians or Chinese thats just Born Country men and women unless people consider all are equal can't solve the issues like this…
Completely PATHETIC as a BLACK AMERICAN VETERAN to hear this man who sits and represents all airmen and women from all backgrounds talk like he is back in the 40s. After he said George floyd could have been his son I cut it off. Sir are you or your sons drug addicts? Have you or your son's held pregnant women at knife point? Then YOU AND YOUR SONS ARE NOT George floyd.
Chicago proves some kill just to kill,they dont value life.
Time for the military leaders to stop taking orders from Trump..WHY? Because he's trying to get the military to go against Americans
When a general and cmsgt of a major military branch are talking about this issue, you can imagine the magnitude of this issue.
Great souls like Abraham Lincoln were shaken up by this sinister attitude and tried their best to remove racialism by law. But despite such laws being on the statute book, serious riots take place frequently between the whites and the blacks. This gangsterism has now permeated society and people in many urban areas live constantly in a state of terror. Those who have sown the seeds of racist violence are now themselves reaping a harvest of chaotic violence, in which even teenagers are participating brutally. As every action has a reaction, this reaction has reached its extreme all over the world in such an ugly and unjustifiable manner that it seems impossible now to reverse the relationship between the whites and coloured people. If the whites have any wisdom, they should know that black people are superior to them in many areas. For example the white skins cannot sing like the blacks. They don’t have the same natural gift of rhythm. I have seen even when the blacks carry their dead they play a band, while all the mourners move in a rhythmic dance-like way. To understand and appreciate them, you only need to be subtle, to become humble to realise how much they are blessed with gifts by the Divine. The talent in sports which the blacks have, cannot be easily surpassed. All the games which require vigour and agility are performed better than anybody else by the black people. In basketball and base- ball games, the blacks predominate and because of their proficiency and indispensability they are accepted by the whites as equals in their teams. Why should this non-racialist attitude in sports not spread to society as a whole? One has to accept that most of the great singers are black people. Of course some white people have been able to succeed but they cannot beat the black Western singers who are so melodious and beautifully rhythmic
Can you imagine living in a country where you were so suppresd because of your ethentisity ?
Just leave ! Find a place in Africa where you can all go to, thrive and prosper.
Its NEVER going to happen as you have it so good. The privilege of living with white people and treated as an equal.
Its ALL in your mind. And the media is fueling the lies and your falling for it.
THE PROBLEM IS YOU.
50% of people who join cops is those who grow up with hate and scared of black man….wishing one day they gonna be a cop and get their dream fullfilled to kill the people they hate most!
OPEN DIALOGUE ADDRESSING RACE SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S AGENDA IN THIS COUNTRY. JESUS IS LOVE AND WE ALL ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF JESUS.
Teach the children-GET RID OF THE RASCIST IN CHIEF !!!!!!!!!
Active duty military are legally prohibited from speaking out publicly against their commanders or the president. This and other similar videos are the closest they can come to telling Trump to STFU.
the greatest fraud is the Covid !9 fraud against human lives/ humanity. Ask the democrats
Now imagine what the Native Americnas feel. ..their land, their traditons, their laguage was stollen to built wat is now the USA.
Those Air Force wokesters Goldfein and Wright need to resign over their nonsense social media posts. They already influenced SSgt Carillo to murder two police officers and wound three others.
Now everything is race
This is some Bull crap what about all lives matter?
Trump responds to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASl7b6cGPMY
If this convo is genuine then I have a mustard seed of faith for America. United we stand
ffs
"Don't completely understand it",thing is,he can't understand it at all!Ain't his fault but he ain't never lived in any skin but white,he'll never completely understand but he CAN call out the evil within and make an attempt to rid himself of it
Looking these developments from the outside, and following them closely I can tell that the US will become a better country. Despite all the injustices brought upon to black people the healing process I am witnessing in the US has no parallel in any other country where racism is rampant. Hats off, and keep on healing and fighting for justice.
PD: Im old enough to notice the changes in coverage regarding race issue and 25 years ago the media would not have covered these issues with the same light they are covering them right now.
The black people and those who accompany them are illuminating the rest of the world morally.
You are overcoming the hate and injustices in a way I've never imagined. Congratulations
Where are those TRUMPTARDS on this one ? you'll Silant is deafening
god bless you all
🇺🇸 Thank you, sir, for speaking. Thank you for being the quality our services need. Thanks for remembering a gentle giant cut down by people jealous of what they could not attain. They Could attain it if they worked on their corrupted souls. Racism is the stupid lazy way of judging a man without looking at character. It's practiced by lazy, hateful people to make them feel better than the ones they deride. In remembrance of George Floyd…@ ….another motherless child called home. God bless.
As a USN officer I stand with all my brothers in rejecting trump the incompetent idiot racist fascist lying dotard lest I say putin asset the Bunker Baby and those cronies backing him
Divisiveness will not be the norm in America ever
I have lived my career as a frontline ground officer
Don't expect change it's never coming this sick place need God's Judgment ASAP
With your rank, age, experience and knowledge. what you are talking about means you are not doing anything about it. Just like countless others who so called made it. European culture which American culture is build upon is revolution. if you use your logic, revaluation means a cycle repeating itself. That is what has been happening in America. It is time you grow up and adopt evolution to progress forward, not revolution. Evolution take place from within bodies of institution which you are part of. Revaluation is externally imposed value. It is not permanent. It is a lip service to equality given by those in power. like your commander in chief / the 73 year old kid who recommend bleach injection / consumption to victim of his negligence of coved-19. Watching the news, all your leader refer to demonstration as revolution. Non of them intent to evolve to a better culture. If they did there may be hope one day they may evolve to become a civilized society. Where equality is practiced, not talked about. Ferydoon Shirazi. MG1
That’s leadership… Ability to listen to people. Thank you, sir.
