I can't believe I'm actually responding to your dumbass, and by dumbass I mean you are literally retarded and need get off the internet and go back to your coloring books, but I guarantee you that if this was a group of white males with pillow cases over their heads your response would be this

"Do we really want people with such bad judgement as this to be leading our troops in battle? Do we not expect more from our officers?"

And you'd be right. The problem is that you're a racist and only expect more from whites. You actually don't expect maturity and sound judgement from blacks.

Let's not compare the black power fist with the KKK. Not even in the same ballpark.

I do except more from the cadets in the photo. But it's really not a huge deal. And neither would a group of southerner cadets with a confederate flag.

Making a big deal out of nothing because they're black is considerably more racist.

Ok. How about the Black Power first to a groups of white cadets holding a sign that said White Power?

That would be exactly the same

And both have no place at West Point. I have no idea how someone disagrees. I am not saying they should be kicked out or killed, but they should be punished

So you think a group of white soldiers posing with a white power sign would be less of a big deal. I refuse to believe you actually think that

One, I don't know of any white power sign. But as I posted above, I would not think a photo of white southern cadets with a confederate flag would be a big deal either. So there you go

I'm making a big deal about because it's poor judgement that shouldn't be allowed or tolerated in the United States Military Academy or by officers in the army. You're the one making it about race.

West Point won't punish them, but Harvard would. That is hard to swallow.
