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. Im not going to try to divine the message that those cadets were attempting to send.

Obama and his DOJ are in their last days “bunker phase.”
Like all extremists on their way out, his ideology and its fruits will increase, and will come without explanation or apology.
“Those women are going to be commissioned and put in command of soldiers?”
Front right - she’s got 5 chevrons, back left - she’s got 4 chevrons.
Sadly, these cadets are in leadership positions, right now, at West Point.
Are we sure it wasn’t more about sexual identity?
Just look at that photo carefully. Realize that they view us as a potential enemy. They were born about the time Clinton was in his second year of his first term.
They have been propagandized. They are sure that terrorism is from the right wing religious Constitution lovers. Most of them cannot tell you anything about the founding except the 3/5s compromise which they understand incorrectly.
They think homosexuality and tranny culture is wonderful, not just something to tolerate, but wonderful.
They all love Obama. They have been taught that America is legally part of the “battlefield” of the war on terror.
They have zero memory of no TSA, no DHS, and of freedom of speech.
They dislike you. Prepare accordingly in the manner than makes sense to you.
“Get ready for another slew of Nidal Hasan incidents.”
YUP
I’ve had the privilege of reading “winning” MLK Day essays.
Fortunately, I wasn’t the judge.
Ever wonder where 0bama and his ilk are going to get the soldiers who will fire on American civilians? That’s where.
Why should anyone obey their orders? Clearly they are insubordinate themselves.
Respect is earned.
That’s because 0bama is a racist. Most of his policy is driven by his anti-Caucasian rage.
He’d have to, just like his boss to support him like he does.
I learned many years ago that the “black dialect” is just poor English - not a dialect at all, or accent. When I was younger I was shocked that people wrote the same way they spoke...
That means these are "but" Cadets. Anytime one must describe a person's performance with a "but" automatically means that person is not a good performer.
PS, I guess it’s fine for paler people to begin adopting “White pride” gestures then, right? After all, throughout history nobody has accomplished more, bestowed greater good on the world, or been more hated for it than the Caucasian male.
You nailed it.
All right.....
Devils Advocate here(...ha...)
Lets just say the gals got together before the hat toss and one says ‘Hey remember Tommy Smith’ and the guys at the Olympics that gave the BP salute after winning?
That would make a fine picture. Lets do it. We accomplished something.
Fair Enough.
NOW , lets say Robert E Lee Pruitt stands with a bunch of fellow Mississippians or ‘Southerners’ with a MS state flag, with all pointing at the ‘Confederate Battle Flag’ corner of it, and all are smiling with their arms extended.
Not so fair is it ???
I may be ‘dreaming’ here but the other evening news had BO at the Graduation Ceremony at Howard U (Predominantly Black Univ in DC). At the end of the item, it showed his last couple of words and he raised his hands (Maybe ala Nixon “I am not a crook”??) and his hands were out of camera range.
I ‘swear’ as the bit ended and his arms were being lowered that he ‘opened his left hand’ (As in unclenching a FIST???)
Granted I usually fast forward whenever it/he is on but I had looked up near the end and thought I saw the ‘fist action’. I ran it back a few times but it was inconclusive - Of course I ‘wanted’ to see the clenched fist....soooooo...
Just a harmless Aryan pride gesture.
Yep, clink the link on this piece and look at the AP photo with this article.
No, it actually is a dialect. It indicates membership in an underclass of America. But it is indeed a dialect. Just like numerous other minority dialects. But even British English has become a minority dialect now.
Yeah - can you imagine a buncha white students giving the nazi salute?
Do you think the white house would say “we don’t really know what message they’re sending but give it up for their accomplishments.”
Yeah BS.
It isn’t a dialect because it is just poor English; there is nothing more to it than that. It isn’t unique, or have specific roots; it is just the English spoken by a three-year old who doesn’t read or write yet.
