US removal of panels honoring Black soldiers at WWII cemetery in the Netherlands draws backlash

[Deluge]

It's a good move. Blacks didn't do anything more extraordinary than their counterparts, so thank you for your service, and stfu.

If I read that correctly, the panels were not even put up until 2024. 

This was the last administration pushing race politics everywhere they could and Trump is just undoing that nonsense.

And all that undoing is wasting time, which those freaks must have already planned on - I'll bet shit like that is shoehorned all over the planet.

.............. damn straight - together in life and (recognized) together in death................ 

rumor is the unknown soldier was black - pass it on.

Radiectum takes immense pride in knowing that he is more in tune with blacks than blacks are with themselves.

Go to hell, Radiorum. No one is sucked in by your feigned moral indignation.

I do often sense hate on this site but in my view it is overwhelmingly towards Israel and it's people.

Chatgtp says these panels were put up in September 2024.

Panels honoring Black American soldiers were **installed at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial in Margraten in September 2024. They were placed in the visitor center to recognize the contributions and experiences of African-American troops who served in World War II, including facing segregation and fighting to liberate Europe.

WTF does Israel or how f^cking long it to to recognize black soldiers have to do with anything?
Petty behaviour and another example of the victim mentality that recognizing someone else takes something away from you.

The hatred, pettiness that's openly displayed on this forum seems to be a virtue among those proclaiming loudest that they are on the right. Seems a leader with no sense of shame whatsoever attracts followers with the same failing.

To be fair, you have difficulty engaging much at all here.

Is your house covered in plaques honoring dead black people who did something worthy of note?

If not, why are you so full of hate?

[John Stone]

 

Singling out a cultural group for recognition on a war-memorial is a very cheap political attempt at social grooming..........respect is demanded for ALL in a like manner. 

This ..................... 

.............. OMG ........ and the Left wonder why they are in such a sad state.???

This is petty virtue signaling.  Nothing more.

................. democracy is fickle and elections have consequences ............. likely a good epitaph for a Democracy. 

FWIW, more productive to rant at the Left (?)............. might force them to get out of the gender bathrooms ............ for a start .......... become competitive? 

It would be difficult to quantify the degree of their failure in '24 general ......... the Right 'took the anchors'.

Meh...Democracy is fine...for now. The Democrats? Not so much.

From voter ID to mail-in ballots, the Democrat party is still actively trying to subvert Democracy.

Tweenkies like @herbie, stamp their feet and make asinine assertions like...

Yet does ol' herb feel any shame about the open borders? No. The surrender to terrorists? No. Covering for a mindless fool for a POTUS and his blithering id1ot VP? No. Trashing the economy? Letting men play in womens' sports? Warping gender for our kids? Protecting hardened criminals? Rampant fraud in Minnesota?

NO!

They define all this destruction as "Progressive". And I suppose in the strictest of definitions it is progress...toward disaster.

So is Democracy being attacked? Yes. But not by Republicans. Its really the Democrats attacking Democracy...and society. They're trying to turn reality and morality on its ear in order to justify the destruction of America...and indeed all of the western world.

Actually it's petty ASSHOLINESS at it's most extreme. Who would even think it's a good idea to remove plaques honouring the contributions of black soldiers? Who?

So you would be okay with plaques for whites only, good man.

Well three of our local retrogrades have defined themselves with their replies. The men with the pointy hoods declare that I am the racist.

Well, you don't have a bunch of plaques up at your home honoring black people. 

So, why do you hate them?

Trump.

Biden could have decorated the White House lawn with images of drag queens dressed like cheap whores the day before he left office and if Trump took them down, @herbie would be screaming:

Is there going to be plaques for ever race, religion denoting that they to served in defeating the worlds great evil empire ...It is not about taking down plaques, it's about stopping the flood of other plaques waiting in the wings....Asian, African, Spanish, Jewish plaques, Muslim plaques, and so on....not to mention all the other different ethic back grounds...Why can't there just be a list of names, service numbers, and what unit they were from , date of death....no colors, no religion, no anything just soldiers, airman, and sailors or marines...Why do we need to complicate the whole issue...
