“Officers staging what amounts to mutiny?
Would you issue them weapons?!”
I think the more disturbing issue is that these cadets most likely had no idea there was anything improper with this display. I’m 99% sure this photo was taken, with the intent of putting it in the yearbook (called the Howitzer). The style of the poses (other than the black power signs), along with the uniforms (they are modified to look 19th century, which is a tradition) are exactly what is put in the yearbook. My best guess is that this is what is called a ‘club’...and it is probably some ‘Contemporary Women’s Club’, or something like that. when I was a cadet there was a coed club that black cadets gravitated to called the ‘Contemporary Affairs Seminar’... or CAS, nicknamed ‘Caucasians Aint Sh$t’. Anyway, I believe this photo was taken as a club photo, with every intention of being in the yearbook.
Which means that these cadets are in such a PC bubble that they saw nothing wrong with this, and didn’t view it as mutiny at all. Now they obviously would understand a Nazi salute would be improper...but not this. That’s the part that disturbs me.
PS, I just looked at the list of clubs - they now have one dedicated to LGBQ...talk about disturbing.
Umm...that IS disturbing, to say the least.
What would they say about an equivalent white segregationist club, burning a cross in their dress Grays?
