Can somebody say "frick yeah, I am white and I am proud" without getting fired, expelled, etc.?

Should they be booted from the Academy for this? Absolutely not. Should they be punished with their imminent graduation days away? No. Will they feel pain for this stupid shite when they get to their duty stations? Yup.

Exactly. They failed Army 101. You are no longer black. You are no longer female. You are no longer a democrat. You are no longer a republican.

You are an Officer in the United States Army

How some don't grasp this is mind numbing to me

Shut up with your pretentious faux outrage you spew in every thread. People don't have to be "outraged" to point out West Point severely dropped the ball here

Definitely not the Hitler salute or the middle finger, maybe the west coast W...that's it, the gang sign W would have been way, way better here. They really need me planning their hand symbols.

I said in the other thread with these black girls, I can think of plenty worse things these women could be doing, such as standing in line at the Walmarks loading up on some free food, than what they are doing in this photo. They are members of our armed forces and if a war came a calling I'd expect they would be there putting their lives on the line defending the rights of all Americans. Where would most of you be?

That's neat. I'll be holding them to the standards of United States Army officers, not ghetto hood rats. But go ahead with your bigotry of low expectations.

Probably actually fighting the war and not running the chow hall on some massive base like these chicks will likely be doing.

I doubt it, people just like to ask what would happen if the races were reversed, pointing out the hypocrisy

Thank you!

Treating them with kid gloves because they are black is actually racist and demeaning in itself

There should be more outrage over females being admitted into West Point than there is over this picture. This whole episode is just a symptom of lowered standards.

This is so not a big deal. The OT masses love to complain about liberals who get offended or upset Unless of course, it's the OT conservative masses themselves being offended or rustled by a statement of some sort. So much rustle in this thread that I can hear it.

so freakin what? You want them all to be lynched or something? Students, YOUNG PEOPLE do dumb things. Did they go and kill a crapload of people? Did they commit some mass rape event? Did they do a flash mob on a business and steal everything on site? Did they go and get drunk and start a mob fight? Yeah, they didn't.. so shut up!
