Yesterday, during a national broadcast of the Army v Navy football game we had members both of West Point and Annapolis flash White Power symbols on air. What the HELL is going on here?
Yes imagine, just imagine if these Cadets and Midshipmen had been throwing up gang signs from the Crips and the Bloods. How would that go over? What about if they had been using secret hand signals from al Qaeda or ISIS on national TV? Basically they are openly admitting that they support a terrorist group, one that has rained 150 years of violence and murder on people of color.
This is not a small issue. This is not just a “few bad apples.” This is clearly, considering the signs came from both sides of the game, a deeper more sinister movement that resides within our military.
I don’t have a lot to say here other than this is disgusting. This is insanely inappropriate. These cadets and midshipmen should be immediately expelled and it should happen without question, without recourse. Unfortunately, that is not the case as yet.
Will they be expelled? Will they be disciplined at all? Is this behavior now suddenly acceptable in Trump’s America? Is this just youthful exuberance? When do they put on the brown shirts?
When do they begin to formally attack and violently brutalize their fellow Americans of color, or their fellow Jewish and Muslim Americans?
Oh, wait...that’s already been happening.
Perhaps it’s already too late.
