West Point investigating black female cadets' raised-fists photo
 

With this administration, my bet is that they get an award.

Continued

they were holding up copies of their combat branch reassignment orders...
...the orders were printed on overhead projector sheets using invisible ink


nothing to see here
move along

Over-head projectors are still used ???

I though everything was done via power-point .... :confused:
.

Big woo.

Let's not give them what all females/women deeply crave - attention.


lol. This is by far the best reply/commentary I've seen regarding this whole affair.

Hahaha! That's hilarious ;)

Dass sexiss.

This may just be my ignorance on the metrics, but why is West Point being labelled/ranked as a liberal arts college?

Hahaha! Go Navy!

Because of the core curriculum:

Chemistry 1-2 semesters
Physics 1-2 sem
Physical Geography 1 sem
Math Modeling 1 sem
Calculus 1-2 sem
Statistics 1 sem
Engineering electives 3 sem
Information Technology 1-2 sem
Composition 1 sem
Literature 1 sem
Philosophy 1 sem
Psychology 1 sem
Economics 1 sem
Political Science 1 sem
US History 1 sem
World History 1 sem
Military History 1 sem
International Relations 1 sem
Constitutional & Military Law 1 sem
Military Science 4 sem
Military Leadership 1 sem
Foreign Language 2-4 sem
Physical Education 3 sem

Yep yep, it is. But it came to my mind when I first heard this, I had a strong belief that Black male Cadets would not do something like this.

Dass raciss.

This will go nowhere. The "investigation" is all for show. Give it a few weeks too die down and leave the news and that will be that. No way to prove this was a political statement and frankly there is no real interest in proving it.

nothing to see here..

The West Point Black Panthers?
 

The West Point Black Panthers?

Coincidence?

Funny, if you visit some Black Panther websites you'll find images just like these. (And yeah I'm old enough to remember these idiots.)

I wonder if there would be an investigation into anyone at West Point wearing KKK hoods, in uniform.

Nah.

loretta lynch and obama says this just be Black Panther diversity........

When I see things like this, I am coming to fully understand that the only "standard" by which the populace in now going by is the "double standard."

Sad really!

It's a very Racist photo, but it's ok in obama's Army
 

You see in my Army, we'd toss those RACIST females off the grounds of West Point just as fast as we'd toss some KKK hood wearing West Point males.



But this is obama's military where racism is fine as long as it's blacks doing it.



Yeah, double standards.

1968 Olympics:

Over 45 years
 

Over 45 years of being the Vanguard of the Revolution.

And things are better now for inner city folks? Or worse?

MOO, variations of this question are the best way to counter radicalism.

Not USMA, but the same idea:

Scotland has no tolerance for poor taste, bad judgment and terrible humor.

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Man arrested after training dog to do Nazi salute in video

http://usat.ly/1T9o3rn

Diversity is only acceptable if it's one-sided and caters to an agenda driven by social underlings.

Could you imagine the uproar if 16 Caucasian women representing the USMA in uniform stood in that same spot and posted their picture on social media?

It's not a 'Double Standard' it's the acceptance of intolerance directed at the majority.

Scrawl TRUMP on the sidewalk there and see what happens.

Time these libs got trumped.

Nothing to see here. Investigation is complete. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...-photo-n571751

Perhaps West Point should be conducting the Hillary email investigation or the IRS scandal.

That was faster than I thought. Very efficient.

When sweeping things under the rug, one must use expedient efficiency. I'm just relieved to know that everyone is on the same page and that we're all training to the same standards.

The Citadel's response to their situation:


The USMA's response to their situation:

So if they were recreating old corp photos where is an example of it. When I served I always felt the West Pointers were a cut above the rest. I weep for the direction of our nation. Those of us born shortly after WWII have seen the best years of our country.

...meanwhile SF guys get hassled for wearing a baseball hat on the FOB.

You guys need to learn how to spin things better. Take lessons from a counter accusation pro like
Rachel VanLandingham, a retired air force lieutenant colonel and judge advocate and associate law professor at Southwestern Law School:

"I think if there had been a bunch of white boys in their cadet uniforms, or footballers, this would not have been an issue"

"But, because it's black women"

Like my cable company. For years they used to force me to get on a minimum 2 year contract. Now they tell me if I hurry I can lock in a set rate for two years.
Doesn't that taste a lot better?





LHC

I wonder if she has ever heard the legend of the college lacrosse team that got railroaded by a two bit whore claiming made up rape charges...
Since clearly it wouldn't have been an issue if it was just a group a white athletes.


Its always about color isn't it Rachel...
Ms VanLandingham is cordially invited to defecate in her favorite hat and pull it snuggly down over her ears.

Ah yes, "the good old days"! I was born during the war, and "they weren't quite as good as they have been made out to be. :munchin

Sounds like a remake of The Lords of Discipline.

Pat

Which, in turn, sounds like a great name for an LGBTQ S&M club. :D

I'm sorry, but that is the funniest back and forth I've read in a long time! I literally spewed coffee on my monitor and keyboard, and a couple coworkers came into the armory to see if I was alright :D:D:D

Glad you're back Dusty :lifter

MOO, the findings of the investigation <<LINK>> are unconvincing, especially 4(c). A cadet indicated that it was a bad idea and one minute was enough time for someone to say/do the right thing.

IRT comparisons of the KKK to the Black Panthers, IMO, historical amnesia does not help stop the spread of race-based radicalism in America--it just fans the flames. (Who was worse off: blacks in the South in the late 1860s, Catholics in Indiana in the 1920s, or whites in Oakland, Richmond (CA), or Chicago in the late 1960s? )

Same fi..... nah got to be imagining this......

Quick, wake yourself up! The dream will become a reality.
