You think racist dont go to Annapolis?

Army and Navy officials try to determine meaning of hand signs that service academy personnel appeared to use on national TV during Army-Navy football game

West Point, Annapolis Officials Investigating Possible ‘White Power’ Hand Sign

West Point and Annapolis officials launched investigations this weekend to determine the motives of service-academy students who flashed hand signs on national television Saturday that in certain contexts are associated with “white power.”

I'm not going to denounce this action. It is so rare a black person gets any kind of recognition. Check the history books on WWII you would think we had no roll during the war.

Symbolic? Yeah but to Doris Miller and his family to get an aircraft named after you is an incredible honor.

Back in those days, Navy men could only be Cooks, porters, or work in laundry. Because of the stuff that Dorie Miller and the Black military veterans of his day, I could join the Navy working in logistics, which is what I did and how I make my money now

 

[shaddyvillethug]

This nigga should have museums, schools, streets , cities , parks , cars , drinks , face on the new 100s , movies , books , library’s , statues , plaques , Rec rooms , cafeterias on ever military base ; restaurants , clothes , shoes , factories, airports , train stations , and everything else under the fucking sun that any and every person and especially cac uses in his name.


the only time we was truly ever attacked he held shit dine when them cacs was scared for they life’s. He saved all them boats.

Unlikely that a naval ship will be manned or run by army personnel.

Add to that he probably wasn't considered qualified to use that weapon.
