Why can't he be our President.
Joe Pesci I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. Spot on my man!!!
I see why George Carlin Loved you so much, to be fair so do I!
I think your losing what little
you had.
He can't be the president because I am willing to bet it never happened it's fake a hoax... Your general has been outmaneuvered by students of Marxist Black Liberation Theology how is he going to deal with the Kremlin...
You're a very "special" youtuber aren't you?
True Leader!!! God bless America!!
I love the way he put that. His tone, everything. Powerful.
Yeah, great tone, but he fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
thank you Sir
I see his sincerity in his eyes I believe every word he said.. I cried watching this man speaking from his heart.
You are so gullible it is frightening.
"Air Force Academy Prep School: Black cadet admitted to writing racist remarks on dorm doors"
And just how does the lying black's effort to stir up racial hatred make you feel?
Maureen Palmer-Mundy the woman next to him too
Don't listen to these trolls, Marueen. They're caught up in their own racism and can't see that what's important is that the racial slurs were even posted in the first place and it doesn't actually matter who wrote them. They simply don't know any other way to react to being shown by the U.S. military that their racism is worthless trash.
Maureen Palmer-Mundy it's called Kings compassion.
this is the message that all soldiers fought and died for it.justice and liberty for all.
jina ray just a shame the American government don't agree with this man
The fact that a black racist prompted the speech kind of undercuts the message, don't you think?
Amenn
@@waindalton8575 Huh?
@@waindalton8575 not really, because he is NOT talking about skin color. He is talking about dignity and respect, whatever color you are.
That right there is a leader.

A leader who jumped the gun.

Why are we celebrating this video? A 3-star was scammed by a race-baiting recruit. HTF is that a good thing?
Bravo. We need a lot more people of integrity and character like this Lt. General to stand up.
Not much integrity, there was zero apology after the hoax was found out.
@@johnbaker4246 Exactly. Zero apology.
This General is a coward and a terrible leader!
@@johnbaker4246 “Regardless of the circumstances under which those words were written, they were written, and that deserved to be addressed, You can never overemphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect and those who don’t understand those concepts aren’t welcome here.” - Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria.
Apologize for what?
@@evensteve284 For accusing the cadets of creating a culture of racism when they didn't, it was just some black cadet who wrote it on his own door to try to make a fake racism story. Once the truth came out the Air Force Academy shoved the whole incident under the rug.
Awesome speech. That is the speech that President Trump should be giving.
zstork I totally agree with you. But we all know that President Trump can not that kind of speech.
It's not in him he only reads from teleprompter what someone else writes and they can't even get it right just not meant to be in that office. He should go back to real estate that's where he is comfortable to do what he is used to doing.
just more false accusations of racism. This is very divisive.
The funniest video is the one with the CNN panel, praising the general for acting quickly and not waiting for the facts.
zstork trump ain’t no man he’s a loser!
That's the best speech I've heard in my entire life!
Yeah, the fact that it's all based on a hoax kind of takes the shine off of it, though.
@@MrVara411 not really, because he is NOT talking about skin color. He is talking about dignity and respect, whatever color you are.

@@joehoncho8557he’s an equal example of a dishonorable discharge
@@nicholasmedovich8691 yes but almost no one knows this was a hoax. They rushed it on the news when they thought it was a ‘racist hate crime’ but the follow up was quiet. If you ask everyone that heard about this, I’ll bet less than 10 percent know it was a hoax.
I'm glad that General made it clear that racism is not tolerated in academy and entire military branches. I Sir SALUTE you and all my family at arm's and all who sacrice thier lives.
Yes. No need to let the fact that it was a hoax stop your virtue signal.
@@joehoncho8557 and? the message is still powerful, and because is a "hoax", the charlottesville protest and the rising of hate crimes in america it doesn´t. I, myself, saw racist marines and USAF members, and this important message just fly over their heads. America needs a war again, maybe they can´t be better people without someone from other country killing them
@@joehoncho8557 lmao, so him denouncing racism is virtual signalling? Couldn't possibly be because he's trying to reinforce cohesion? Crazy gullible to call any remotely moral act "virtue signalling".
@@HarryNott he is trying to reinforce cohesion by chewing out everyone because of, yet another, race hoax. Sounds about right. Did he give a speech like this after they found the guilty party?
@@HarryNott so a moral act is to chew out an entire group of people because of a hoax? Because you didn’t have the logic or reason to do any investigation before essentially accusing everybody in the academy? That is moral? Ok. We have different definitions.
Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria for President 2020
This is what the Military is for, to ensure liberty and justice for all. His speech embodies that goal perfectly.
@C Cato may you elaborate please? That sounds interesting
@@yoki3818 After a full investigation, one of the "victims" confessed to writing the slurs and blamed it on a concussion for which he had not sought medical help.
Sadly not all get it
So everyone had to sit there while that mouth lectured them over what turned out to be just another "hate crime" hoax.
You know it was a hoax, right? It was written by a black air force cadet.
Thank you General! You nearly made me cry and I felt represented even though I am not in the armed forces, America is greater because of men like you, I salute you Sir.
Thomas Hayot Humanity is greater too!
There was not racial harassment, it turned out to be a hoax, like many incidents before.
No, Thomas, perpetuating hoaxes to stir up racial hatred does not make America greater.
That is the leader that I would follow.
the homeless should make you cry
I listen to this every week. I love it
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
Anyone have the link in which he gives a speech just as moving about condemning false allegations of racial harassment? You know, since it was determined that the slurs were written by a black cadet... No? ok then.
No. They were not fake. This has been factchecked after sources started saying "a black cadet wrote it". The sources came down to a far-right original source, who sought to discredit his speech.
@@hajkie No they were faked. Even left leaning sources came out and reported on it
@@hajkie you are a clown dude.
You even watch this video when he says the same applies to both genders and all races? No? ok then.
Interestingly they determined that the language posted was by a black airman at the academy. He admitted it. He was kicked out.
I'm a white dude who never served but listening to this man speak leaves a lump in my throat. You can hear and see the sincerity when he speaks, almost like a disappointed father. It's a God damn shame we still have to even have this conversation in this day and age.
You're an easy manipulated p****
I have a sincere question for you. Why are your peers so racist towards others for no apparent or obvious reason? Man, black folks/minorities are tired of that. Extremely tired of it.
@John-mf6ky It came out that it was one of the black students (at first thought to be a victim) who wrote the slurs...making this General look like an idiot.
@joeexotic6049 This was another hoax by a black man unfortunately.
It was a hoax, dum dum
But on Tuesday, Air Force Academy officials said that one of the black cadet candidates actually wrote the racist messages.
I just wanted cry listening this gentlemen, all my respect & love to you Sir.!
yup hes a true human being unlike Bozo
No, he jumped the gun, and fell for a hoax.
You aint crying anymore i guess

No, he has more emotion than wisdom. He fell for the hoax hook, line, and sinker. Why did he believe it was real.....because he wanted to.

“ A Better Idea” . True Leadership!

+ari biswas
Irrelevant. This was his gut reaction to what was apparent at the time of the speech. You're lost and completely missed the point. Is that a deliberate thing or are you really that dense?
@@TroyaJamilyn This gut reaction after the speech was good. However the bad part was that there was zero apology after the hoax was found out. He blamed the cadet wing for being racist and never apologized when it was found out the cadet wing hadn't actually been racist.
@@johnbaker4246 actually if you listen to the speech, he didn't blame anyone at all. He simply said that some hateful crap was found on a board. There's no need to apologise at all because the message and tone of his speech was spot on regardless of whether or not it was a hoax.
Someone has a moral compass
So, it turned out to be a hoax. This fiery speech, given to cadets, forced to attend, caused more divisiveness. This general seemed oblivious the recent false flag racial incidents. He was fooled by the hoax. Why, because he wanted to believe that it was true.
rick leonard Apparently not.
"The appropriate response to a horrible idea is a better idea."
So instead of quickly casting dispersion that the white cadets are "racist" without evidence. Horrible Idea. You actually investigate and find the fact that the perpetrator was one of the "targeted" black cadets trying to curry favor. Better Idea. Practice what you preach, Lt. Gen. Not much of a moral compass here.
Someone is a sucker! The racist graffiti was written by one of the so called victims.
And someone, namely the black who perpetuated this hoax in hopes of stirring up more hatred of white people, has no moral compass.
I still come back to this every now & then because it's a speech and a moment that is the best of us in the midst of the worst of us
Shut up, v60

@@robert-wr9xt no I love the speech and agree with everything he said I was just poking fun at someone with a V60 coffee dripper as their profile picture
Air Force Academy officials said that one of the black cadet candidates actually wrote the racist messages.
"We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside their dorm room was actually responsible for the act," the Academy said in a written statement. "The individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation."
Damn that's leadership...
I can't believe it took him so long to figure out it was just the black guy. I knew it the second i watch these dudes accuse me of their break down. The black guy wrote it to be poetic. Thinking that's what white Americans see's

Big event here😂🎉

Beep beep.. haircut walking...

Update: 04/23/2024
So, is Captain bableship going to step down, or execute the soldier that wrote it? Captain bableship made a really big spit about that word.
.
I would have figured out who wrote it. Not made a public announcement.
Second: what was already the crime that put them behind their dog tags? How many strikes is this now?
Where is the follow up of dismissal, or??
cbs gets punked
The blonde on the right like yeah that's my general her eyes tell you just how proud she is to have a general like this great man
"Blonde". That is a Brigadier General, lmfao. Same would apply by calling this 3 Star a "middle aged white guy"
he seemed very sincere. however, a lasting solution must be derived, otherwise in some few months or years we will be back to square one
What is your suggested solution for a black cadet spraying racist words on his own door?
It’s up to us.
Wy can't the leader of the world talk like this
So-called leader
Who's the leader of the world?
She talks like this.
The incident turned out to be yet another fake. The general jumped the gun by implying that there was racism at the academy. It is not nice to be falsely accused of racism. He definitely hurt morale at the academy.
+Claystead The "victim" admitted to writing the messages himself in hopes that whites would be persecuted for it. AKA the same goal as every other hate crime hoax we've seen the past two years, and there's been plenty.
Good grief. What a speech. This man pulls no punches.
"If you can't treat people with dignity and respect, then you need to get out."
It was proven to all be a hoax, all of this grandstanding for a hoax is pretty silly. 😂
TURNED OUT TO BE A BLACK STUDENT ... but hey lets not make a follow up 🤣
We do know this turned out to be a big hoax, right?
The incident was a hoax but USAFA reaction was real. Message still applies
Most commenters here don’t.
Turned out that the racial epitaph written on the message board was put there by a black cadet trying to stir up trouble.
USA you guys hve so many amazing honorable, exemplary guys like him. How did that guy with full of hatred make it to the top. Respect to the General from another country. I d hve this general as my President any day.
You do know a black cadet spray painted these words? And the general reprimanded the entire academy based on a lie? That's not leadership that's cowardice and laziness jumping to a conclusion without the facts
Don't think USA is ready for someone with Italian heritage unfortunately
I felt the need to hear this speak AGAIN, and I have taken EVERY SINGLE WORD TO HEART. I was always taught to do the things Lt. Gen. Silveria spoke of. It is very unfortunate that some individuals feel the need NOT TO adopt this way of thinking to the betterment of all. Being Black, I grew up seeing Racism in its ugliest forms at of all places, an institution of higher learning, yet we see it in our places of business, Government (Yeah the current President - who claims to love our Military), and points beyond. I am proud that the General made this speech to those who are TASKED to protect us and the Freedoms we have, so that they know what it is like to be a true American. I know this because - I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.
Hoax
So being black, you should be especially outraged that a black cadet would do such a thing and want him severely punished. Right???
Im 69 years old and Retired from the Air Force and ready to Enlist again after hearing his Speech.
The racist graffiti was a hoax.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - One of the black cadets allegedly targeted by racial slurs scrawled on a whiteboard at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School was responsible for the incident, Air Force Academy officials announced Tuesday.
Integrity, fortidude, mutual respect regardless of political leanings, etc. Respect to Lt Gen Silveria displaying true leadership. Peace ✌️
Hoax
Lt. Gen Silveria should be called to join Biden's government.
This incident was a hoax by a racist black student. ( typical )
The entire speech was an assault on good people because of a bad minority. The general never apologized ...
Beijing Biden
Hope he doesn't nuke someone based on false
info and takes the time to learn the truth before
pushing the button.
Can someone please send this to Mr. Trump and tell him to study it daily.
Unfortunately Mr. Trump can't read more than 140 signs, if he can read anything.
There is. No hope for trump and he can't read more does he care amount anything or anybody. except his wallet
D. Davis-Ross .......if you can't send it, it needs not to be sent. Personally, I think it would fall on deaf ears and would definitely not be heart felt, nor would it be possible to be in any way
"understood." This message needs to be infused. ........!!!
+D. Davis-Ross - which of the races is Trump an enemy of?
or is he an enemy to more than one race?
Yes, have President Trump watch this, so he learns how not to fall for a racial hoax. The evidence was planted by the alleged victim. The sad part is that so many people wanted it to be true, so they can maintain their victim privileges. The academy was blemished by the foolish general's speech.
for their own sake I hope none of the black students were responsible for writing the slur on the message boards.
Unfortunately, it was one of those black cadets at the academy who did it.
you jinxed it
played you for a fool, general
Been in 16 years and still going... I WISH i had more leaders like this. Thank you Sir!
Thank You........
@C Cato And you purposely missed the point
@C Cato The point was we DO have an issue with racism within our ranks and we need more people to step up and say that it is no place within our military. You're focused on an alleged hoax because I'm sure it fits your narrative that you're trying to paint. There are things you might not ever empathize with but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. IF you are a service member... talk to some other minority servicemembers. Ask them about their experiences. These incidents do exist and I'm proud of this leader hoax or not to step up and say something.

this general is big talk but no action behind the scenes.
This is a very passionate speech. My Father (Willie Lee Parham) enlisted into the Air Force because of their passionately enlightened vision in maintaining peace in the midst of chaos and also protecting the innocence of children of Air Force America, IMy Father had one child and this is me..Proud .of seeing the eloquent Air Force Veterans speech and watching the General make this speech to prevent bullying is awesome. The Air Force General is guiding his cadets with intelligence and knowledge of Goodness which is seen within the heart, mind and spirit of his team. Absolutely beautiful ❤️

This didn’t age well 💀
Im 23 , i have to be patient one year for my request to be acceptable im also processing my personal name greencard status. Once i get there i can qualify in the Airforce and i will take my ASVAB exam. I have diplomas and im bilingual too very educated.
LT. General Silveria's words still inspire and move me, four years later and having listened to his speech many times.
Me too!
Hoax.

@@joehoncho8557 What is a hoax?
@@Therealgordongekko What is a complete fabrication?
I would vote for this man to be POTUS. And anyone currently running for president who does not act this way Should Get Out!!
A lot of people say what a great leader he is...but a true leader would’ve found out the truth first before admonishing all these innocent cadets, unless the actual person that did it was there...and that person did leave!
The first reasonable comment on this long thread…
He is not admonishing anyone but the guilty.
This is indirect contrast to what colonel Woontan and General Brown just said. He said there are too many white officers in the Air Force.
This is our you do it... Thank you Mr. General Silveria
Sooner i will erase my tattoos in the U.S. airforce after resquesting , but i also will save up money from monthly payments if i do get acceptable, even though i moved to Honduras , but thats next year, one year i have to wait for me first in honduras, with my imigration lawyer instructions Mr.Robert hes from Uruguay and lives in the U.S. thats for me and my imigrations status for me to be patient. Im waiting for my greencard first ,then i will be in the U.S. Airforce , by the way i have good grades and a im very educated im a good smart student ,i went to school. (i dont see racism conditions or negative opinions about me) im a very good decent person.
A black cadet confessed to staging it because he was flunking
Exactly, and the "leadership" jumped to the media....
@@suziepeaches321 You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I have old military socks that have more time in service that you've probably ever had. Next, your statement has absolutely no data to back it up. Lastly, any action based on a malicious hoax shows the lengths to which those who will attempt to claim some general "racism" is lurking out there. Are there individuals that are racists (of all backgrounds)? TO be sure. And those found are quickly ushed out the door.
I would follow this man. I heard this speech six years ago and I am still inspired by it today. This is what a leader sounds like. God bless my air force and the integrity that we hold as one of our most important values. Integrity first. Service before self and excellence in ALL that we do. Hua!!!!!
Does the hoax make these words a bit more hollow somehow? Should righteous indignation retain sway when borne of a lie?
Damn right it should. Hindsight tells me it was a rush to judgement and a needless tongue lashing to a class of cadets who didn't deserve it. But he got famous for being fooled, with his virtue signal speech
The words are no less meaningful. This was a speech that needed to be given regardless. Don't be a fool. When wisdom is given, take it.
Only folks who want to dismiss it will find a reason to. But we'll keep going. Fighting it even if you won't. That's why we're the air force and you aren't.
@@shaunellmers5033
You're still ignoring the General commented on a situation that was a hoax. I.e, didn't investigate the matter. Not the kind of man who should be in charge of anything.

Annnnnnnd it was a hoax.
Racist before, Hoax later. A Black cadet (name kept confidential) admitted to racial slurs. Lt. Gen Jay Silveria Never apologized for his verbal lashings of the white cadets, who he directed to record his lashing, as a warning. He punked out of an apology owed later saying "You can never over-emphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect"
Does it matter? It's not about the problem. It's about how to react to the situation correctly. Apparently, you didn't learn anything from this...You need to get out!
@@Yahase11 its about a hoax and the general fell for it kinda gullible for a general
@GoldenState First, you assume anyone calling it a hoax (which it was) is a bigot. Second, yes, his words were a hoax. He slandered white cadets for nothing instead of waiting for the investigation. Third, of course your avatar is California.
@@Yahase11 No, the correct way to respond would have been to wait for the investigation. He instead opted to slander the white cadets for something they didn't do.

Please do NOT let this gullible general anywhere near the oval office. The entire incident turned out to be a fake.
His response was genuine, and the problem he addressed is real...so it doesn't actually matter that the incident which inspired the reaction was fake.
Amen
It turned out it was all a hoax and this general didnt make a speech after it turned out it was a hoax. He should have been fired for his poor leadership skills, enforcing a PC agenda is not part of his job. He should have waited until the incident was investigated, but he had to act like a PC inquisitor
Thank you for being a LEADER. This is what Donald Trump should had stated as a so called leader in our nation.
LEADER has lots of blind followers it seems
USAF ROCKS...
They reported this to no avail for a week last year, but when they found the person responsible they lost interest and only informally followed up. A Black cadet (name kept confidential) admitted to writing what they called the graffiti. Before he admitted to it, they called it racist slurs. They finalized the rhetoric as a "Hocks gone wrong" Lt. Gen Jay Silveria Never apologized for his verbal lashings of the white cadets, who he directed to record his lashing, as a warning. He punked out of an apology owed with "You can never over-emphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect" Or in other words even though he was completely wrong with his premature racial judgment of his white cadets, they needed to know they will be less tolerant of white cadets.
This was found to be a lie!
I love this. I needed to hear this again.
Hoax
Wow... It's amazing to hear something like this coming out from an American Officer... mostly they dont care about anything, so this is really surprising... one question: a white guy like him would allow his son or her daughter to have a relationship with a black guy or girl? Yeah, right!!!!!!!! He had to say something, but we all know what he feels about it! By the way: Im Brazilian and am white, but I hate racism and any kind of behavior that shows lack of respect in any way! We are all humans!
Was the racist who committed the offense removed from the Academy as per the good general's speech?
The black cadet responsible is no longer there. Not sure if he was thrown out or left in his own
Not an officer but my goodness this guy is a leader. Would love to have him as a leader.
Could he replace Roy Moore in Alabama?
Please ensure that you understand the entire story before you make comments. It is better to keep your mouth closed and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. The African-American student wrote those slurs himself to distract the Academy from his own wrongdoings. This is a colossal and gross fabrication that caused us to waist resources. It also does a disservice to those who are legitimate victims of such egregious behavior. As a future Airmen (Air Force Officer Training School Select), I am disgusted. Hopefully, he will be ejected from the University.
Sir u truly should run for political office!!!
Maureen Palmer-Mundy: What a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in when something as simple as not being racist is a call to run for office. To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you. How far we have fallen...
What do u think he is doing here? Exactly that. Warming up the scene for a political career later. With his show of enormous outrage at a fake incident & ZERO outrage on the blacks who faked the crime I bet he is joining the DEMs
+ari biswas
"With his show of enormous outrage at a fake incident & ZERO outrage on the blacks who faked the crime"
Why would he need to publicly show his outrage toward the actual people who did it? To appease people like you? You don't know what went on behind closed doors in regard to this incident, so realistically you don't actually know what you're talking about at all.
The only reason you're saying stuff like that is Lt. Gen. Silveria scares you with his hard line, because you know his "get out" actually applies to you, too. You're as fake as the hoax.
Time for a new general. How embarrassing...Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never harm me. How about you plan military exercises instead of be a woke leftist
Never seen an Air Officer, so angered. It's good he spoke out. Reminds of when General Sir Mark Carleton Smith, Chief of The General staff, British Army spoke out about the sexual assaults going on. Good job sir!
All over a hoax.
Was the perpetrator caught? Was a deep investigate done ? Was a handwriting expert brought in ? He's scolding everyone . I hope he made sure a black guy didn't write that message.
This is how you start a movement of peace. By calling out racism and refusing to allow it. He wasnt asking he was demanding that people who want to be racist pricks to leave. I hope this video is played for years to come to remind everyone how people should treat one another. Than you sir for being an amazing human being and for standing up for what is right
Christian Ramirez AMEN
Now that the black supposed victim of racism has been shown to be a lying racist, will you call him out?
A false claim of racism is no way to start a movement. But wait, a false claim of racism did work for Al Sharpton, and Black Lives Matter.
I would bet my money that he "stays silent like a coward"
+Suicide by Muslim
"I swear to God you people see fire where there isn't any."
Did you get some of the smoke from that fire in your eyes...is that why you can't see it? Here....let me rinse it out for you:
Regardless of whether or not this specific incident was made up self-victimization, the problem of racism overall is staggering. You don't know what drove that individual to write racial slurs against himself on that wall but it's quite likely that he or someone he cared about did actually experience racism of the same kind at some point (and probably consistently) in his life prior to writing it.
It simply does not matter that it was a hoax. This speech was an honest response to the racism that led to it. You didn't even hear what he said about naivety. The problem exists, and this was an addressing of that problem.
Now that you've got the smoke out of your eyes, go learn how to use them properly and shut the [censored] up until you do.
General shows anguish at these sort of racial slurs.
General, Pl come to India and give your piece of mind to our rulers and politicians.,,
That's American
Yes, sadly, "hate speech" hoaxes have become common in America.
A Black cadet (name kept confidential) admitted to racial slurs. Lt. Gen Jay Silveria Never apologized for his verbal lashings of the white cadets, who he directed to record his lashing, as a warning. He punked out of an apology owed with "You can never over-emphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect" That's Not American, that's a weak American.
There’s no power in diversity, but there is power in the individual, no matter where he or she comes from, hardship isn’t victimhood, and there’s no special skills that come from being different, there’s no segregated tribes, there’s just the individual and their will to improve their fortunes.
Give this man another star please!
Jeff: Not being racist is not exemplary and does not deserve accolades, regardless of how far Trump tries to drag this country down. Rather, it is the minimum - the floor - of acceptable behavior.
No but his handling of the situation was exemplary. He did not ignore it or try to deal with it discretely. I believe that his words were heartfelt and using the presence of the faculty members and cell phones to underline his point was perfect. That is why he deserves recognition.
Jeff, I agree equally with both you and hewakens, well said, God bless.
Unfortunately this was another racial hoax.
Thank you sir for allowing God to use you the way that you did.
Karen Alston AMEN and AMEN
Karen Alston Spokesperson Lt. Col. Allen Herritage told The Gazette in an email, “We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside of their dorm room was actually responsible for the act,” adding, “(t)he individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation.” Turned out this was another fake hate crime.
And you need to start using your brain to think, very easy to spot out hoaxes.
People are saying god is using Trump too lmfao
This message is for all Police Departments across the United States of America, too. You will not take away the values of our country, the ideal of a more perfect union that we are striving to become. Therefore, if you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect, you need to get out. Your misconduct has no place among those trying to uphold their sworn oath and duty to keep the peace.
A commander in chief❤️
How much do you want to bet that the slurs were written by the very people that the slur is directed at... Just saying, racist activity doesn't normally emerge thru random messages written on chalk boards, doesn't even normally emerge thru action of any sort. Racists generally just keep their mouth shut and avoid the people they have an issue with and only even admit they have racist views in very closed environments....
Your speech is beautiful with a simple message.
I listened to it 4 times and all 4 times it made me cry. “Love thy neighbor as
thy self.” if you can’t do this without reservations get out of the military,
because here we depend on each other. This is the only way it works because in
the military “We are all Brothers and Sisters of the same family.”
It was a hoax

@@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413 lord! This is what is wrong with people today. 10 seconds on google would tell you. However, the reporting that it is was a hoax was much quieter than the coverage when they thought it was a racist hate crime!!! Wonder why???? Didn’t fit the narrative.
This is why you complete investigation in any case before you run your mouth, especially in the military, because every one gets punished for 1 person being an idiot. Thank goodness I retire on thurs.
