Critical Race Theory is a racist theory on racism. So, tap into something more productive.

Well put General.

C in CNN: Clown or crap? make your choise.

Trump and racism.. This is CNN

'The Most Trusted Name In News.'

LOOK 🆘Everyone on Social Security & Medicare REMEMBER Trump signed EO to get➡️RID Social Security & Medicare ✅Must VOTE Democrat Every Election 🛑STOP THEM or Loose💰💵Income & 🚑Medicare Insurance‼️ Future Republican President can do same ❌NO Republican in White House

Speaking of race how did this error come about that Latin and now the new corrupted firm of Latino is made into a seperate race for Hispanics in the past few decades. Latin by language, culture tribes came from Italy and it is their heritage and legacy for over 2000 years

He is a disgrace at this point. Our military is too focused on being woke while Russia and China are making serious gains atm. Respect his service but he is proving to be incompetent atm, along with the rest if the so-called 'Leadership'. Fail

IDIOT!

Well if you're gonna lead American troops it might help to know about them first🤔🙄

Matt Gaetz wouldn’t make it past the first day of boot camp 🤮. What a Smarmy p.o.s.

Bravo! Clear, concise and logical.

CRT teaches hate and divides us. It’s just plain wrong. Martin Luther King said judge a person by their CHARACTER, not the color of their skin (nor ethnicity for that matter).

GOT totally called the antifa/woke cult thing

What an embarrassment? Try and understand all the looting and new merch on the Facebook marketplace thereafter. Understand some of that then you’ll begin to understand the sixth. Which soon will be a national holiday.

Understand this!

Since one group, bm, are responsible for 50% of all murders despite being 3% of the population I'm kinda 100 times MORE interested in 'b14ck r4g3' also interesting why you can't spell that out with letters like you sure as hell can with 'white rage' b14ckR4G3

.thejointstaff failed to mention he’s been bought and sold. Clueless

Imagine if he would have said, 'look at black crime rates, I'm trying to understand black rage'.

I’d like to understand the white rage killing people in Chicago, and attacking Asians in NY.

White..rage? Wut?

General is confusing righteousness with political correctness. Racism & other evils must b countered properly. Policy won't destroy hate. Policy just empowers the policymakers & 2 many policymakers r more concerned with power than they r racism. They use racism as a tool.

NYT, MSNBC’s Mara Gay: ‘Disturbing’ to see ‘dozens of American flags’ on trucks on Long Island. White rage 🤪

Awesome words were spoken. Clearly a man who is interested in THE TRUTH about January 6th.

Pavlov (operating on a dog in 1902) ran his lab like a factory; dogs were his machines. (Drool)

Great answer!

The UFT teachers unions have ruined America. More Chinese kids are learning English than the entire US population. It's time to get serious about math, science and learning foreign languages. Wake up America. Stop with the race education crap.

As a good General you should know the value of stupid attacks. They weaken the enemy iamnotbeingfunnybut

👇 All of a sudden he knows how to “forcefully rebuke” an action that questions DoD efforts. Why didn’t he also *rebuke* the previous WH for asking him to break Pentagon | Constitutional rule(s) of remaining a-political?

You damn right, sister😂

'diversity efforts' makes it sound like you cant be honest and have something to hide.

He is nothing more than a political Activist!

“Diversity efforts” is a funny way to frame it.

Diversity is good for the US military.

good

Politics has no place in the military. I’m sorry general but you’re wrong

On issues of diversity the military should reflect the society it serves, just like a democratic government. Although there’s no need for quotas, there should be no discriminatory restrictions.

Choosing to read the books the dear General cited is completely different than being required to take a class based purely on race baiting which is designed to separate people.

Is that Prince Andrew?

This is BS! Conservatives led the charge to ensure that troops sent to Vietnam were not only diverse but actually had more POC and pool white people then the general population. They actually discriminated against rich white males by making them serve in the National Gaurnd.

Diversity training for the military is absolutely absurd.

China and Russia love this.

Power to you Mr General we need people like you to stand up for truth and equality unlike the dome ass Republicans who trying to surprise democracy and peoples rights to vote. Thank you for your service, what and who you are.

Greg_Palast A little-noticed provision in Georgia’s new voting restriction law, SB202, threatens the rights of 364,000 voters.

His probably cross dresser lol

His words literally - yes, literally - gave me chills. I was transfixed and barely breathing. It was amazing to watch.
