"...Black, Latino, and women service members were suddenly erased, from Sgt. William Carney, the first Black American to earn a #MedalofHonor during the #CivilWar... #JackieRobinson, World War II #TuskegeeAirmen, a decorated #JapaneseAmerican unit while Americans of Japanese descent were interned, and the famous #NavajoCodeTalkers, most of the erasure remains"

Erasure of history will eventually ask you to add it back, what a waste of life

Today in Labor History March 21, 1946: The Los Angeles Rams signed Kenny Washington, the first professional African American football player in the U.S. since 1933. His father played baseball in the negro leagues. His uncle was the first black lieutenant in the LAPD. In college, he played both baseball and football. He was a teammate of Jackie Robinson’s at UCLA. Many people thought he was a better baseball player than Robinson. Leo Durocher supposedly offered him a contract to play major league baseball, but only if he played in Puerto Rico first, which Washington refused to do.

Another USgov source is Prologue, the magazine of the National Archives. Their Spring 2008 issue had a piece on Jackie Robinson

Baseball legend Jackie Robinson's Army court-martial during World War II provided a preview of the civil rights movement that would shake postwar America.

Yet there is . . . an alarmingly large percentage of Negroes in and out of the Army who do not seem to be vitally concerned about winning the war. —Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy, Washington, DC, 1942 We are treated like wild animals . . . like we are inhuman. . . . The word Negro is never used here, all they call us are n—r do this, n—r that. Even the officers here are calling us n—r.

So the 4chan trolls #MAGA sadists have put in charge of the #DoD website have gone after #JackieRobinson

People with more than 2 braincells knew attacking #DEI was just a stand in for simple #racism all along

So now what. Now that #bigots are just openly bigots and no one with even 1 braincell can deny it without being laughed at, now what

We just let our honored heroes be pissed on by MAGA turds and we shrug? Forget about it? Accept it?

This country is a fucking joke

@GottaLaff This is the webpage on Jackie Robinson that was removed and then restored. I tried to pick out a snippet to quote but, honestly, it's just ALL good.

Please visit the page, then share widely.
