White House proud of West Point cadets in black pride photo
The Washington Times ^ | May 10, 2016 | Dave Boyer

The White House refused Tuesday to criticize black female West Point cadets who posed for a photo giving a black-pride gesture, saying only that President Obama is proud of the class of 2016.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged the photo “has generated some discussions about race relations in our country.”

“But the real focus should be on the tremendous accomplishments of these cadets,” Mr. Earnest said. “I’m not going to try to divine the message that those cadets were attempting to send.”

The President has very, very successfully damaged the US military.

Those women are going to be commissioned and put in command of soldiers?

Get ready for another slew of Nidal Hasan “incidents”.

PS: when do we shoot that guy? Jan 21, 2017?

“But the real focus should be on the tremendous accomplishments of these cadets,”

Unfortunately blacks that accomplish are expected to prove it; too many false accomplishments for 50 years. I find a simple short essay separates the wheat from the chaff in hiring; too many “preferred minorities” with college degrees can’t read/write basic English...

They are either tremendously accomplished or can’t send a clear message. Pick one.

The stupid is strong with all involved parties.

You put a white-hating black (partial) racist in the WH and this is what you get. Racism is a POLITICAL TOOL of the radical, America-hating left...no news flash here.

I am speaking as a woman—what the he!! are girls doing at West Point? Men have always been the warriors for a reason. This is just another sly way of defeating our military that was always the best in the world. Anything to bring America down.

"tremendous accomplishments".

Pffft.
They're black women. Obama's daughters. They could have slept the days away and graduated.

What's scary is, someday they're going to be in the fleet, responsible for someone else's safety, and being Obama's daughters isn't going to matter to the enemy.

That became Black Pride in the 60’s but it was also a revolutionary communist salute.

They should be kicked out.

Exactly; I’d love to see three complete sentences written by each of them.

I don’t doubt there are blacks qualified to enter West Point; I suspect they might look at other options considering the mandatory service upon graduation. Same for police work; the blacks that are up to snuff probably aren’t interested (remember all the applicants with criminal records?).

Does Josh Earnest leave an actual slime trail wherever he goes?
Or does it just seem like he should...?
