Despite withering competition, appointed to attend the Air Force academy, among the finest, most prestigious academic institutions in the nation, upon graduation, selected for pilot training, then, in a somewhat subjective process, is awarded the mighty F-22!!...the single most lethal fighter in the world. And, with only 180 airframes, the most difficult to get out of training. Promoted to major, MBA, lauded with countless awards and accolades for performance.

Awesome, right?!! By any definition, a career most of us could only dream of. His extremely public (60 Minutes) appreciation for the amazing opportunity as he heads out the door on his way to United? Nope...Harvard Law school!
wait for it...
The same Air Force that granted him every wish, led by a black four-star general (fighter pilot), is ...well,..RACIST.
Can’t make this stuff up.

Yikes. 700 hours as a Major. A real seagull.

You can count on that poster to argue ANY social issue.
But said persons response pretty are pretty much just trying to get a last word in and save face without really presenting an argument.
It's been posted before, look at how many threads have been closed that they've actively participated in.

when someone starts a response with “1) you’re a racist,” they lose the high ground. That’s what BeatNavy did, and that’s why they lost the ability to have an actual discussion, because they don’t want one

“Saying that a role model has to “look like them” is saying that a certain race or gender is an inherent required trait someone has to have to be considered a role model. That perpetuates identity politics and is a clear example of judging people by their race/gender (racism/sexism), the exact opposite of what we should be doing as a society. I had several black role models growing up. They didn’t look like me. And that didn’t matter.
‘Minorities and women have been flying commercially and in the military for a long time. If you can’t find a role model in aviation in 2021 (that is, if one of your requirements for a role model is that they have the same skin pigment and genitalia as you), then you aren’t looking.”

This is the post below that triggered you correct? Where did he call you a racist? If it wasn’t this post please provide where he called you a racist.

Well all we can see is his argument above, and you ignoring (but not really ignoring) his posts. Just don’t respond when he posts if you actually are serious with your convictions and what you claim above is true. The face saving and always having to have the last word makes you seem unserious.... just disengage from ANY response to them 🤷🏼♂️

Well all we can see is his cogent argument above, and you ignoring (but not really ignoring) his posts. Just don’t respond when he posts if you actually are serious with your convictions and what you claim above is true. What’s with the face saving and always having to have the last word?!

If I made a racist comment, then I would expect to be called a racist, as I explained here. A mod deleted the original comment, so I rewrote the post, essentially saying the same thing, but not using the offensive and triggering R word. But the point stands. Your original comment that someone has to “look like them” in order to be their role model is a _____ comment (insert unoffensive word of your choice that means “judging people by their skin color”). And if you believe that you can only look up to people who “look like you,” then how would you describe yourself....tolerant? Woke? Anti-______?

Ohh I absolutely am. As evidenced by my longwinded posts making my points and destroying yours, to which you respond, but not with any content, just excuses as to why you are disengaging (but then don’t actually disengage).
