Not understanding your offensive nature is different from not meaning offense. Ignorance is not an excuse here.Quote:
The REST of the video shows that the older Aggie did NOT say "blackie," but rather "Blaggie." He clearly did not mean any offense.
Was this ever confirmed?Quote:
He actually said whiitie too so was he racist against himself?

Even if he said it, the whole point being that the simpleton temper-tantrum throwing children do not understand is that what was (supposedly) said is a message of inclusion. He is saying we are all Aggie, not black Aggies, white Aggies, yellow Aggies, etc., etc., etc., etc.
The level of immaturity and hypocrisy by Mond and his rabble is just laughable.

This thread was attempted and locked over on the politics board so I don't expect it to last long here. Either way though, these old dudes have set back the cause for saving the statue massively. "Blaggies" . . . .unbelievable. It is like a whole generational shift in public attitudes towards sexism and casual racism has escaped certain folks.
Whether you agree with it or not, it is what it is. Saying something like this is just dumb.

True in theory, but that hasn't resulted in some sort of harmonious state of affairs. Racial tensions in Marines are well documented. There is currently "unconscious bias" training. There have been race riots.Quote:Quote:
We are all Marines. We aren't Black Marines or White Marines. We are all Green. Some light green and some dark green, but all Marines.
If you spend your entire life looking for something to be offended by you will always find it.
Of course they were . . .as are the comments and viewpoints of a lot of Ags.Quote:
How do you defend this garbage? You are most definitely part of the problem. Everyone can clearly see that the actions of Tucker and Brown were uncalled for.

Not in the units I was in. I am still friends with the vast majority of Marines I served with today.
I don't doubt the Marines have problems when I see how 18-24 year old people act today.
