What does the Army-Navy Game Mean in Black-Run America (BRA)?

Who are those white boys? Jacob Hester would fit right in.

Millions will watch, not knowing why. It’s a game that doesn’t matter, but it’s a game that matters very much. Army/Navy. One of the proud traditions in all of American sport, this annual college football game between the United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy is best described in these words from Sports Illustrated’s Joe Posanski:

Army-Navy football feels as if it was preserved in a snow globe many years ago. All that's missing for the game in Philadelphia this year is the snow. Everything is blue and gray, even the sky. Older men wear fedoras and homburgs, young couples hold hands, and the gates overflow with happy people in somber overcoats. Someone shouts, "Get your program here!" The sports world, the real world, changes so rapidly, but not Army-Navy. Here it is perpetually 1948, and America is strong. The Midshipmen march into the stadium in perfect rhythm, and the Cadets march in perfect rhythm, and tomorrow looks bright.

Why does Army-Navy still matter? Neither team has been a national championship contender in two generations. Many years, neither team is even a bowl contender. The schools stubbornly cling to the worn-out triple-option offense years after even the most stubborn warhorses, such as Nebraska and Alabama, gave it up. In today's world of wildcats and spreads and pistols, Army-Navy can look more like a reenactment than a football game.

“Preserved in a snow globe” is the perfect way to describe what will be on display for a national television audience on CBS. Few, if any, NFL scouts will be in attendance to watch a football game that features two teams running a variation of the option/triple-option/Wing-T attack (it gives them a competitive advantage against their competition, because few teams run these offenses anymore, the student-athletes at both schools have height and weight restrictions that disqualify huge lineman from being recruited, and it’s hard to prepare to defend).

But Posanski should just come out and say why he thinks the Army/Navy looks more like a “reenactment” than a real, legitimate football game. Both teams have majority white starters and their rosters are full of white players that few other colleges dared recruit.

It was in 2007 that Louisiana State University (LSU) won a national championship thanks to the fleet running of bruising white tailback Jacob Hester. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is made up of teams that have rosters that are Blacker than even the NFL – though the schools are all majority white – which prompted one Black player to ask Hester why he was even in the league:

Still, there have been other instances in which Hester has removed his helmet without meaning to pull a fast one—like when he's trying to towel off the part of him that is most an anachronism: his white face. The fact is, in today's game, it's rare to see a white running back playing the role of dominant rusher on a college football team, let alone a national champion. And Hester hears about it. In 2006, after shedding his headgear during a first-quarter timeout against Tennessee, Vols linebacker Jerod Mayo reacted as if he had seen a ghost. Said Mayo to Hester, "Shouldn't you be playing running back for Air Force?' "

Like Army and Navy, Air Force is a team that is consistently starts the most whites of any Football Bowl Series (FBS) institution, primarily because of academic requirements required for admission into these prestigious institutions (consult Castefootball.us for a breakdown of racial starters). The SEC will work to admit any Black athlete that Rivals.com or Scout.com gives four or five stars too, regardless of their moral failings; Army, Navy, and Air Force have to maintain rigid academic and moral standards (as each graduate will become a commissioned officer upon graduation), and can’t recruit marginal Black high school students who lack the aptitude to gain admission or perform the course work once enrolled. 

Chad Hall, a former Air Force white running back, plays on the Philadelphia Eagles. Former Navy running back Eric Kettani was on the New England Patriots practice squad, but was recently called up to active duty.

There are plenty of talented white players who don't get recruited because of the conditioned belief that only Black athletes can perform at the tailback, receiver, or defensive back. Tom Lemming, perhaps the top recruiting guru, told Michael Lewis this in The Blind Side; he told The Chicago Sun Times as well; and The South Bend Tribune. Funny that a Black player from Tennessee would immediately tell Hester he should play for the Academy (the prior year, Tennessee had barely beaten an almost all-white starting Air Force team).

Back in 1968, John Underwood wrote these words in Sports Illustrated that still ring true today and are another reason why each school is overwhelmingly white:

Principal among these are things academy coaches groan over but cannot possibly get around: 1) the postgraduate military commitment is up to five years; to an 18-year-old considering college, four plus five equals half a lifetime; 2) formal declaration or no, the U.S. is at war; 3) since Joe Namath got $400,000 to sign with the New York Jets, every high school quarterback with half a pound of talent dreams of getting his share. When Blaik had Army vying for national championships, the service commitment was just going up from three years to four, the chances were a West Pointer would not find himself being shot at immediately after graduation and Joe Namath was a poor kid in Pennsylvania.

There are other drawbacks. Recruiting is tough because academy entrance requirements are as high as the Ivy League's. There are no crip courses. The daily schedule is harsh, intense—especially in the first year—and the strict regimentation discourages many.

It is a well-known fact that less than 50 percent of Black people score higher than a 700 on their SAT, which severely impacts the pool of qualified candidates for an appointment to either Army or Navy, let alone qualified Black football players that can be recruited. Other schools like Notre Dame have had a hard time recruiting Black athletes that other schools can because of the goal of maintaining academic standards. 

 

You can’t be a top-flight university and field a team comprised largely of marginal Black students who required “Special Admission” to gain entry to the school and are placed in remedial courses for the duration of their stay.

In John Feinstein’s book on the Army/Navy game Civil War: Army vs. Navy, we learn on page 48 that both schools have a trick in trying to increase minority enrollment and in recruiting Black marginal students to be eligible to play football:

All three academies also have prep schools. They exist primarily for students who have an interest in the academy but are not considered ready academically to enroll after their senior year of high school. The prep schools are used, most of the time, for two groups of students: minorities who need to improve their board scores and take or retake core courses, and athletes who need similar academic help. This allows the academy coaching staffs to recruit players who fall below the average SAT score for the rest of the student body, which is about 1200 at both Army and Navy.

 Black test scores aren’t improving, so those in control at the Naval Academy have taken to lowering academic requirements for minority applicants in the hopes of increasing diversity (which means discriminating against more qualified white applicants):

The Annapolis Capital newspaper on Sunday published a significant investigative piece on admissions at the U.S. Naval Academy, adding new voices and fresh statistics to the ongoing debate over whether the service academy routinely lowers its exacting entry standards for minority applicants and athletes.

A large group of critics, unofficially led by English Professor Bruce Fleming, contend the academy operates a two-tiered admission system. Here's how I described it in a 2009 story:

To win the admissions board's approval, Fleming said (describing his own experience on that board), a white applicant had to present SAT section scores higher than 600 (out of 800); a transcript of A's and B's; and a strong background of leadership in sports and student life, reflected in a fivefour-digit score called the whole-person multiplier multiple.

Black and Hispanic students were routinely admitted with SAT scores in the 500s; with B's and C's; and lower whole-person multipliers, Fleming said in the 2009 account. The same lower standards apply to athletes.

Academy spokesman Cmdr. Joe Carpenter said in response that "since 2004 there has been no "standard cut-off" or minimum SAT for anyone, including white non-athletes or any other group."

The Capital reviewed academy records and found that the school admits students with SAT section scores as low as 370, although its standard cutoff for white non-athletes is 600.

"The unfairness is absolutely real," a former admission board member told the Capital, one of several the paper quoted anonymously.

The Capital says the academy uses its Naval Academy Preparatory School, or NAPS, as a back-door admissions pathway for "borderline" students. The prep school is designed as a one-year catch-up program for students with lower test scores and grades or from schools with weak programs, a routine that was common among graduates of rural high schools in earlier generations.

The prep school supplies between one-fifth and one-fourth of each year's entering class at the academy, according to the Capital. Nearly everyone from the prep program gains admission to the academyahead of everyone else.

"During a recent two-year period, NAPS grads were arriving at the Naval Academy so poorly prepared for college-level work, the Naval Academy superintendent relieved the officer in charge of the prep school. Still, these Napsters were found to be fully qualified and were admitted to the academy, while other qualified students were turned away," writer Earl Kelly reports.

The 300-student NAPS class of 2011 included 190 minority students and 110 recruited athletes, according to records obtained by the Capital.

More stats: "For the Naval Academy Classes of 2009-2013, 312 African Americans entered the Naval Academy, 180 (58 percent) of whom came through NAPS, according to documents obtained under FOIA."

Among whites, by contrast, "521 of the 4,101 admitted to the academy (13 percent) entered through NAPS," the Capital wrote.

More stats:

"Of the 155 football players listed on Navy's 2010 roster, 86 (55 percent) attended NAPS, according to the school's sports Web page."

Though the game will be between Army and Navy, it should be pointed out that former Air Force football coach Fischer DeBerrry got in hot water back in 2005 by saying that the school needed more Black players to compete with other teams:

Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry, expressing frustration Tuesday with the Falcons' slumping performance, attributed their latest loss in part to No. 20 Texas Christian's having more African American players who "can run very, very well."

DeBerry, in his 22nd year at the Air Force Academy, first mentioned the academy's lack of minority players compared with other schools while talking to reporters Monday.

He said Air Force needed to recruit faster players. "We were looking at things, like you don't see many minority athletes in our program," DeBerry told the Colorado Springs Gazette.

When questioned about the remarks during his weekly luncheon Tuesday, the coach didn't hesitate to elaborate.

"It just seems to be that way, that Afro-American kids can run very, very well. That doesn't mean that Caucasian kids and other descents can't run, but it's very obvious to me they run extremely well," DeBerry said in remarks first broadcast Tuesday night by KWGN-TV in Denver.

Few Black high school students – current Black starting quarterback Tim Jefferson has battled academic issues his entire tenure - have the intelligence to make it at the Air Force Academy (or Navy, unless standards are lowered), and, worse, the Air Force Academy has consistently fielded teams that, in spite of their whiteness, win games. Over the past 20 years, the Air Force has been the best service academy winning big games over schools that start majority Black teams.  
 

Army and Navy are too white for 21st Century America

All without that prerequisite Black “speed” that other schools are blessed with, and they get to keep their standards for admission high. Because lowering academic standards has a tendency to let it in students with low moral character.  

The character of the participants that will be on display in the Army/Navy game will be a welcome departure from the thuggery and “look at me” mindset that is the hallmark of majority Black college football, and many who watch will feel a bit of nostalgia for the America that once existed. All of college football once reflected their majority student population; now, it is one of few instances in American life left for positive examples of young Black males to be cultivated.

But remember, in the pursuit of victory at any costs, schools like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Nebraska, Penn State, and Oklahoma have had to overlook the character flaws of many of these Black athletes. As long as the wins pile up, boosters and alumni can look the other way.

The Navy Academy seems bent on lowering academic standards to accommodate Black athletes; one wonders when Army and Air Force will follow suit. Wait, the Air Force Academy has spent $1 million trying to come up with ways to do just that. Moral standards will follow.

Worse, the stands at FedEx Field outside Washington D.C. in Prince George’s County will be filled with primarily white cadets and midshipman from Army and Navy. Some of these will be seniors, preparing to graduate and garner a commission. The same goes for the football players.

They will be entering a military where “diversity” is the most important aspect of the 21^st Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Not only has the Naval Academy lowered standards to get greater minority enrollment, we’ve seen all of this transpire in the bid to make the military fall more in line with the goals of Black-Run America (BRA):

• In the aftermath of the Fort Hood Massacre – when a Muslim in the Army went on a Jihad – the top ranking officer in the Army, Gen. George Casey said this, “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey said.
• Stars and Stripes, the newspaper of the armed services, recently published a cover-story bemoaning the fact that not enough Black people are becoming heroes in the War on Terror. 
• Recently, a USNA color guard for the World Series was deemed too white:
  Naval Academy leaders removed two midshipmen from a color guard that performed at the World Series last week because they were white men, and replaced them with a non-white man and a white woman so the academy could present a more “diverse” profile, according to several sources, a move that has reportedly angered mids and alumni.
  
  As it turned out, the color guard still ended up all white because the male replacement forgot parts of his uniform.
  
  Two white, male members of the color guard learned Oct. 28 they were being replaced with a white woman, Midshipman 2nd Class Hannah Allaire, and a non-white man, Midshipman 2nd Class Zishan Hameed, on orders of the school’s administration, according to an internal e-mail message provided to Navy Times by an academy professor. With a national television audience, Naval Academy leadership worried the color guard it planned to send wasn’t diverse enough, the e-mail said.
• Racism is the primary reason why there are so few Black Air Force fighter pilots; racism is the primary reason why the various Special Forces groups (like the Navy SEALs) are almost all white;
• Coast Guard Academy standards are too high for Black applicants, so to increase diversity, discrimination against whites must be official sanctioned.
• Too many Black people fail the entry exam given to every recruit; obviously racism is involved.
• The United States Marine Corps has declared itself too white:

Gen. James Amos paid tribute to those pioneering Marines who broke the color barrier in the Corps after training at Montford Point in North Carolina during a speech at the convention of the National Naval Officers Association, an organization that represents minority officers in the sea services. 


Amos outlined plans to highlight the legacy of the Montford Point Marines in the history of the tradition-bound Corps, and to improve recruitment and retention of a more diverse pool of Marines. But he introduced his unscripted “from the heart” talk with about 500 officers by saying he was dismayed by the lack of diversity in the Corps, particularly among officers.


“We’re failing,” in this mission, Amos said. “We’re not the face of society.”


About 10 percent of the Corps is African-American, versus about 12 percent of the U.S. population, Amos said. Among the 2010 crop of 1,703 newly minted Marine lieutenants, only 60, or 3.5 percent, were African-American.

• And, Congress commissioned a report in 2009 that found the officers serving in the United States Military were too white:

The U.S. military is too white and too male at the top and needs to change recruiting and promotion policies and lift its ban on women in combat, an independent report for Congress said Monday.

Seventy-seven percent of senior officers in the active-duty military are white, while only 8 percent are black, 5 percent are Hispanic and 16 percent are women, the report by an independent panel said, quoting data from September 2008.

One barrier that keeps women from the highest ranks is their inability to serve in combat units. Promotion and job opportunities have favored those with battlefield leadership credentials.

The report ordered by Congress in 2009 calls for greater diversity in the military’s leadership so it will better reflect the racial, ethnic and gender mix in the armed forces and in American society.

Efforts over the years to develop a more equal opportunity military have increased the number of women and racial and ethnic minorities in the ranks of leadership. But, the report said, “despite undeniable successes ... the armed forces have not yet succeeded in developing a continuing stream of leaders who are as diverse as the nation they serve.”

“This problem will only become more acute as the racial, ethnic and cultural makeup of the United States continues to change,” said the report from the Military Leadership Diversity Commission, whose more than two dozen members included current and former military personnel as well as businessmen and other civilians.

Having military brass that better mirrors the nation can inspire future recruits and help create trust among the general population, the commission said.

Real American Heroes, Black-Run America style.

This is the America that those college students at Army and Navy are going to defend; an America whose leadership at every level of society (be it government, academic, military, business, etc.) no longer cares about the dwindling majority population and actively promotes policies of discrimination against it.

Too many white males as officers in the military; too many whites in Marines; not enough Black Navy SEALs or Black fighter pilots; General Casey, how again is diversity a strength of the US Military?

“Army-Navy football feels as if it was preserved in a snow globe many years ago,” wrote a Sports Illustrated writer. He was right.

The best and the brightest will be at FedEx Field, men who represent honor, intelligence, and courage, the qualities we should all admire.

It’s too bad that our government is actively trying to lower standards to purge from the officer ranks men of honor, intelligence, and courage, and instead, desire to deliberately sabotage our defenses. We at SBPDL are proud of the brave men and women who still volunteer to defend this nation; judging by the actions of the government which believes a military comprised of primarily white males is not good enough, they are not proud of un-diverse military.

But it’s just a football game. Navy should win, but the loser won’t be Army or Navy; it will be America. The Real America.

Millions will watch, knowing why, but afraid to say it. 

Our country deserves better. 

Something Wicked this Way Comes: The NFL Honors that Enduring Lie, The Tuskegee Airmen

The Tuskegee Airmen: A enduring fabrication that must be shot down

Note: All this week will be # posts. Even if Detroit burns to the ground; even if a violent Mahogany Mob occupies and terrorizes Philadelphia for three days; even if Eric "My Holder" People enlists the dwindling percentage of enlisted Black members of the US Military to help close the racial gap in learning (one of the primary reasons that the percentage of enlisted Black members of the military has deteriorated: 40 percent of "The Blacks" can't pass the entrance exam); even if... well, you get the picture. Okay, we might have one article one article on sports. Just one. Promise.

A good friend of mine, Luke Darren, who assisted me on a piece at Vdare, has finally come up the primary slogan for SBPDL. One of the slogans is SBPDL: Fight Back.

But the moniker for SBPDL needs to be something fundamental, something elemental: SBPDL: Because truth has a racial bias. More on this in the coming weeks.

One of the books I'd like to write is a take-off on the misnamed Lies my Teacher Told Me. It would simply be called Lies my Teacher Told Me About Black-Run America (or Lies My Teacher Told Me About Black History, but you get the picture). It would discuss purported inventions by Black people, and give reasons for various laws that were passed in more civilized times. More importantly, it would target the myths that are continually trotted out to paralyze people from pointing out the failures of the Black community now, by showcasing the discrimination that Black people faced once upon a time.

Black people can't be held accountable for their actions now, when they were once barred from playing in Major League Baseball or segregated into all-Black flying units like the Tuskegee Airmen. It is important that in every aspect of a white person's life that they constantly be bombarded with reminders of their ancestors (and nations) past racism, so they are incapable of voicing opposition to the ever-tightening vise of Black-Run America (BRA).

I've been working on a long article on the myth of Tuskegee Airmen (one of the foundational myths of BRA, much like the Rosa Park incident and the Edmund Pettis Bridge moment in Selma) that will be published elsewhere, but today realized a pernicious new maneuver by Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) to have us believe that these Red Tails single-handily defeated the Axis Powers due to their superior aviation skills.

Much like Major League Baseball (MLB) has mandated that each year Jackie Robinson Day be commemorated (when every player on every team must wear a jersey with Robinson's jersey number 42, which has been retired in his honor by ever team) to constantly remind people America and baseball's racist past, the National Football League (NFL) has done something so silly and sanctimonious that it will surely become a yearly tradition: The Tuskegee Airmen were trotted out at a slew of NFL games to show that Black people can be trained to fly a plane (now clap, because though Black people make up less than 2 percent of Air Force pilots - and most major airline pilots - now, they beat Germany by themselves back in 1941-1945!) and are the only people worthy of remembering from those who served in the US Military during World War II:

The Tuskegee Airmen, the first unit of African American military pilots who flew in World War II, are being honored on the 70th anniversary of their service with a special tribute during three NFL games held on November 13th, 2011 -- Veterans Day Weekend -- in conjunction with the upcoming release of the motion picture Red Tails from Lucasfilm Ltd. 

The Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Jets will host Veterans Day Weekend games which feature salutes to the Tuskegee Airmen, including sideline interviews with some of the original veteran World War II pilots, and on-field tributes to these American heroes. 

An all-black combat unit created at the Tuskegee Institute in 1941, the Tuskegee Airmen pilots faced unimaginable challenges: fierce discrimination, outdated training equipment, and their performance was scrutinized by government officials who believed they would fail. Despite these obstacles, the Tuskegee Airmen persevered and earned an impressive combat record in World War II. They flew more than 15,000 sorties on more than 1,500 missions throughout North Africa and Europe. They won three Distinguished Unit Citations and earned 96 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Bronze Stars, 744 Air Medals and several Silver Stars and Purple Hearts. 

In addition, stars from the upcoming movie Red Tails, an action adventure film that celebrates the bravery of the Tuskegee Airmen, will be attending pre-game tailgate events and performing at select games. These include Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Nate Parker, Elijah Kelley, Tristan Wilds, Leslie Odom Jr., Michael B. Jordan and Gerald Mc Raney. Red Tails opens in theaters on January 20, 2012.

 Sigh. Soon a Paul Kersey article will be published that begins the assault - with the sturdy ally of veracity on my side - on the Tuskegee Airmen myth. Have your fun NFL placating a lie. One thing no one ever points out is how condescending it is to continue to honor this group of people, when hundreds of thousands of white men were trained to fly on other Army Air Bases. Do the DWLs in charge of education consider it a major accomplishment that so many Black people (reports state that roughly 445 of 996 trained at Tuskegee over a five-year time period saw action overseas) were capable of flying? Despite massive recruiting efforts, why are so few Black people capable of flying in our military now?

I can remember teachers telling all sorts of weird and unbelievable stories about the Tuskegee Airmen (modern day Gods descended down from Mt. Olympus in the eyes of DWLs and constantly indoctrinated by BRA) that sounded incredulous to my young ears. That they never lost a bomber; that no plane was shot down or any airmen was killed; that they found Amelia Earhart; that they were the original pilots selected for NASA's Mercury team; etc.

Sadly, the latter two are untrue. Worse, so are the rest. For 60 years the lie persisted that the Tuskegee Airmen never lost a plane as they escorted US bombers over Germany. This lie was happily by teachers across the country and repeated at ceremonies honoring the surviving Red Tails. One of the foundational stories of BRA is nothing more than a lie, told so that succeeding generations of  children question why there are so few Black pilots now, when their legendary war record was so sterling (also having people question why, if they never lost a bomber, why segregation ever existed since their martial skills were second-to-none):

At least 25 bombers being escorted by the Tuskegee Airmen over Europe during World War II were shot down by enemy aircraft, according to a new Air Force report.

The report contradicts the legend that the famed black aviators never lost a plane to fire from enemy aircraft. But historian William Holton said the discovery of lost bombers doesn't tarnish the unit's record.

"It's impossible not to lose bombers," said Holton, national historian for Tuskegee Airmen Inc.

The report released Wednesday was based on after-mission reports filed by both the bomber units and Tuskegee fighter groups, as well as missing air crew records and witness testimony, said Daniel Haulman, a historian at the Air Force Historical Research Agency at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery.

The tally includes only cases where planes were shot down by enemy aircraft, Haulman said. No one disputed the airmen lost some planes to anti-aircraft guns and other fire from the ground.

The 25 planes were shot down on five days: June 9, July 12, July 18 and July 20, 1944 and March 24, 1945, the Montgomery Advertiser reported.

The real inconvenient truth is that Black people have been able to claim they were part of this legendary band of aviators (and garner awards and speaking engagements) without anyone ever questioning said claim because of the moral authority that BRA grants to the Tuskegee Airmen:

Tuskegee Airman Robert A. Decatur often spoke in public about being one of only about 960 black pilots who escorted the all-white crews of bombers over Europe, how he inscribed his plane in Latin with the slogan "Through Adversity, to the Stars," and how one of the characters in a 1995 HBO movie about the black pilots was based on him.

"If you remember the scene in The Tuskegee Airmen where the pilot, played by Laurence Fishburne, landed in a field where convicts were working, the pilot stepped out of the plane and one of the convicts said, 'My God, he's colored.' That pilot was Robert Decatur," he told an audience during Martin Luther King Day observances this year at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

Because of his stories of heroism, the Arkansas chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen is named in his honor.

But his death last month in Titusville at age 88 did not lay to rest the contention of fellow Tuskegee Airmen that Decatur's legendary life was largely his own creation.

"He included himself as one of those heroes, and he wasn't," said John Gay, president of the Orlando chapter of Tuskegee Airmen Inc., an association created in 1972 to honor the first black pilots trained in Tuskegee, Ala., during World War II.

Decatur's embellishments were repeated over the years in articles ranging from a 2004 cover story in Onyx magazine to an Aug. 22 obituary in the Orlando Sentinel.

The record shows that Decatur was a Tuskegee cadet in 1944 but did not complete pilot training. He did not graduate from flying school and never flew in combat. He was not portrayed by Laurence Fishburne.

"Mr. Decatur was not the model for the character, nor were the six or seven others who have claimed to be over these last 14 years," said Joan Williams, whose late husband, Robert, wrote the movie's screenplay and based much of it on his experiences as a Tuskegee pilot.

The impersonation of war heroes is so prevalent that Congress passed the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 to crack down on men who gave themselves medals they never earned. To many of these men, the glory of their imaginations makes up for shortcomings in their lives.

"The more you exaggerate, the more acclaim you get, and the more acclaim you get, the better it feels," said Alan Keck, an Orlando psychologist.

How many Black men like Decatur have been able to lie and profit off of this BRA myth? Why is the need for the Tuskegee Airmen myth of near invincibility so vital to the official - and incredibly patronizing - story of Black people being capable of aviation training? Just check out this article that details the uproar in the Tuskegee Airmen community over the news of their discredited reputation as perfect warriors of the air:

In 1996 or 1997, Holton said, he heard a white fighter pilot complain that the Red Tails weren't perfect -- every fighter group lost bombers. 

That angered Holton, who wanted to prove the man wrong. But he waited until 2003 to begin research. He felt no rush, he said, and wanted to wait for the Red Tails' 60th anniversary in 2004. 

He figured proving the record correct would make a big splash at the group's convention in Nebraska.
But Holton said he found that World War II bomber and pilot reports showed five bombers under Tuskegee protection were shot down by German fighters. 

"I expected some flak," said Holton, who presented the information at the convention. "I just didn't expect the magnitude." 

Ron Brewington, 61, a broadcast journalist who has long been fascinated by the Red Tails and serves as the group's spokesman, said Holton was told to keep the news to himself until it could be verified.

Remember: Stars and Stripes has deemed white males too valorous; Real American Heroes are invariably almost all white in today's military. Parading around a lie in the form of the Tuskegee Airmen to induce white guilt is a wonder tactic; unlike their false war record, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen never misses bombing young minds into a veritable mush of guilt that will accept and tolerate any lie told to further the objectives of BRA.

We told you that truth has a racial bias.
