Trumpites go bugshit over black women graduating from West Point

You've just gotta' love it. All the racists, Nazis, et. al. going out of their minds because black women were even allowed to attend West Point, and then actually GRADUATE. The horror.

Here's the link with pictures of these wonderful women. Seems that in many ways, the world is getting better.

There's no greater challenge that could be expected of them than to sacrifice their lives.

Mentally, philosophically, physically.

Those rotters should stick to getting help so they stop molesting their mum's cat and figuring how to get more sunlight into their basement (THAT is what 'based' really means) hidey-holes of hate (pasty white skin is not a good look, snowflakes).

These women have all worked hard for their accomplishment. Nobody handed this to them on a platter.

These men who are bitching and moaning about this know they are worthless and won't ever lift a finger to improve themselves, work hard, study or set goals and achieve them.

So all they can do is tear down other people who do, especially if they are female and a member of a minority group. They can't stand seeing other people who are out there reinforcing the fact that they are complete losers!

Many of us lose sight of that fact while safe in our bubble. We need the best and brightest, no matter who they are, defending what's left of our democracy.

When the military does a mass arrest of everyone at the next Council for National Policy meeting or wages a war on the alt-right, THEN it will be defending democracy.

Always let's us feel more clever when we inform other people what they should do with their lives and what choices they should make.

🤦

snip from the story..."another claimed that “the worst things in life are fat sassy black chicks in charge of white men in stressful situations.” (that's LT black chick to you grunt)

Snip--One subscriber stuck up for the women and said that it was wrong to attack recent West Point graduates who had done nothing to Trump supporters except successfully graduate from America’s most prestigious military academy. (Um... US Naval Academy@ Annapolis?) Comments like this are why the Left call Trump supporters racist and why I get lumped in with people like you,” the subscriber complained — and their comment was quickly hit with down votes."
That dude knows his own.

and one of these strong smart brave women reached down and said, "I can help you, take my hand" the scum would say, "Go away, I'm going to lie here bleeding until I see a white face."

they went bug shit when any woman was allowed into those hallowed halls. It stands to reason this would be a huge affront to "their" precious West Point. Didn't they have a big problem when black men were first allowed?

These women are as courageous as any man there. Why do we have to prove this over and over? They are strong, beautiful and patriotic. I could never say much like that about me but they would welcome me before they would these wonderful women. Somehow white skin makes everything ok.

I copied that picture, it makes me proud and happy.

The year before women were admitted to Colorado Springs, many of the 'officers and gentlemen' had inscribed on their class rings "The last class with balls".

This retired woman senior noncom sincerely hopes a few of those dick wavers wound up subordinates to those women.

Speaking of balls: The answer I gave to a punk who told me he wasn't gonna work for a goddam broad. "You're right. You'll work for a goddamn sergeant. Say or act upon that again Airman and I'll have your balls for earrings."

I have no doubt they'll all do fine. No one spends four years in the academy Waring Blender, survives and thrives, then comes out a plush toy.

These wonderful human beings have sworn to protect America.

I've seen pictures of other West Point graduating classes. And I feel perfectly secure with the safety of America in the hands of these wonderful warriors.
