    If taking a Knee is Disrespecting The Flag ... then what category of outrage does this fit in? The last I check, it take people to make a Flag

    .... here we are, still In the Year 2017?


    Lt. Gen. Jay B. Silveria, superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), addressed cadets on Thursday in a powerful speech about treating one another with “dignity and respect” after racial slurs were written outside five black Air Force cadet candidates’ dorm rooms.

    One message—which was posted on Facebook by a young cadet candidate’s mom—read, “go home n**ger.”

    “There is absolutely no place in our Air Force for racism,” Silveria told the Air Force Times, adding, “I‘ve said it before: the area of dignity and respect is my red line. Let me be clear, it won’t be crossed without significant repercussions.”

    An clear he was. In a speech Silveria gave to Air Force cadets Thursday, the general addressed the incident head-on; during the roughly 5-minute lecture, the superintendent resoundingly denounced racism, and demonstrated the kind of moral clarity one would expect from a leader.

    “If you’re outraged by those words, then you’re in the right place,” Silveria said of the racist graffiti. ”That kind of behavior has no place at the prep school, it has no place at USAFA and it has no place in the United States Air Force.”

    “You should be outraged not only as an airman, but as a human being,” he added.

    The are absolutely not hoaxes, they happened. When stuff like this happens we should not just simply let it go as a hoax. These people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is still a hate crime. These people are trying to inflame race relations. They should be charged as harshly as a white person would be charged.

    A hoax as in a hate crime did not take place. And if caught, they are charged.

    How is it not a hate crime. He still wrote those messages on his peers doors. The race of the offender has nothing to do with it. It does not matter if he was black. If put "go home n*****" is a hate crime when written by a white man on someone else's door, it should still be a hate crime when done my a bkack man. There should be no if it is then it is not here.

    I looked at this thread and was thinking the story is over and done with.
    Now, I'm not sure. This so called hate crime was done by the black man claiming the crime was against him. The cadet wrote those things looking for sympathy.
    He is no longer a cadet. He resigned or was expelled for doing that.

    Aside from that. Right is the way, looks like he was really hyped up about this issue.
    In the future, could you please look over your post before hitting "Post Reply". I had a lot of trouble understanding what you are trying to say.

    Liberals need to stop blindly assuming ever claim of racism and hate crimes from nonwhites is legitimate on face value. When will these fools learn?

    I hope they don't learn. It's like watching Lucy and the football over and over.

    I was going to say how this was probably just another fake hate crime, just like the all the other ones. Apparently it was already found to be so.

    Are you embarrassed that it was already proven to be fake before you even posted it? I would be.

    I look forward to the next fake hate crime race baiting thread.
