We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

I don't have an opinion. I am still getting used to my new diagnosis of clinical insanity. |

No. And it's not if a white person is either. I know many of the groups and actions in the name of BLM are things I haven't agreed with. But where does this question even come from? |

It comes from people saying what the female cadets did as being racist. |

Sorry but you lost me. Can you explain? This is probably my fault as my brain is fairly mush this morning. |

Ok, let me try this again. Race/Racism is mentioned 1 time on page one of this thread. Race/Racism is mentioned 8 times on page two of this thread. Even you stated that "If a white person was offended by this photo it is a racist reaction." So to look at that photo and "not" think racism, would be difficult. In my opinion it is of the utmost importance for the military to be color-blind. These soldiers lives can depend on the person next to them having their back regardless of their race. Which the second video I posted has a former Marine and his opinion on BLM and racism. |

Ok. So everything all cleared up now? Being against BLM doesn't make someone racist. |

You do know the background of the Superbowl performance of 'Formation', don't you? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jessica-bolanos-/11-references-you-missed-in-beyonces-formation_b_9196612.html I have no problem with the performance in that we are talking about an event where the organizers of the Superbowl had obviously seen the performance or known what was going to happen prior to the Super Bowl and obviously had approved it. We aren't talking about someone sneaking something in like what happened with 'the wardrobe malfunction'. Bottom line, if you disproved of that performance so much, let the NFL know or let their sponsors know. Or boycott Beyonce or her recording company. Or don't care about it, or support the performance. That's your prerogative. |

Yeah. And? Beyonce doing it in a performance while singing a song specifically about political and social commentary doesn't mean the cadets raised their fist in the air because Beyonce did it in the Superbowl. That seems like quite a stretch to me. |

Here is my bottom line: this statement says that if the sign was one for 'solidarity for their brothers and sisters', then good for them. But if people are offended by that, then....racism. Oh, and I mean by white people. Never the thought given that if the gesture was indeed meant to be a 'sign of solidarity for their brothers and sisters', that it would in fact violate the code of conduct of servicemen on political activity.....because apparently if you agree with a position, it's not political. Because obviously if you feel that the code of conduct should apply regardless of whether it is for a cause you believe in or don't believe in, then you are just an easily offended white person. It's nice and all that you want to simply go by the few talking heads that the article used, but my assumption was that anecdotes produce stereotypes....something that you would be against. |

I don't think raising a fist in the air is political. I just raised my fist in the air just now...I wasn't making a political statement. Then again, maybe they were sympathizing with the Venezuelan military... Posted Image holy...fucking...shit. This is much worse than I had thought... |

is it more of a stretch than the idea that these girls all decided to raise their fists for a photo, yet it had nothing to do with BLM or any other black "rights" movement? I think not. |

Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

What do Venezuelan symbolic gestures have to do with American racial gestures....oh, the answer is nothing. |
