Summary
The U.S. Department of Defense removed the webpage honoring Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, a Black Vietnam War hero awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970.
The page now returns a “404” error, and its URL was changed to include “DEI.” Rogers, the highest-ranking African American to receive the medal, was awarded by President Nixon in 1970 for heroism during the Vietnam War.
The deletion follows Trump’s efforts to roll back DEI initiatives in the federal government, including an executive order terminating diversity programs.
The Defense Department has not commented on the removal.
When NIXON is less reflexively racist than you, you KNOW you’re fucked up!
Reminder for those who might be unaware or forgot:
Nixon started the War On Drugs specifically to hurt the two groups of people he hated more than anyone else in the world: black people and hippies.
That’s not a conspiracy too. One of the main people involved straight up said that it was so they could put black people and hippies in prison since being black or a hippy wasn’t a felony.
