Open Thread | They Want to Kick Black Men Out Of The Military

This is a racist policy, whose only goal can be to kick Black men out of the military. IF it’s a condition that the population of the military it affects is 95%+ BLACK MEN..

THAT MEANS IT’S TARGETING BLACK MEN.

BLACK MARINES WITH ‘RAZOR BUMPS’ COULD BE KICKED OUT THE MILITARY DUE TO NEW POLICY

The new rules were implemented after the Defense Secretary ordered a review of military grooming standards.

This is blatantly RACIST. As a Navy Corpsman, I saw hundreds of Black sailors who had this condition.
Razor bumps, or pseudofolliculitis barbae, can be a significant issue for Black men, as they’re more likely to have tightly curled or coiled hair.

This hair type often grows back into the skin after shaving, leading to irritation, inflammation, and raised bumps.

While irritating, there are countless over-the-counter products like benzoyl peroxide wash or gel, glycolic or salicylic acid-based products, and pharmaceutical treatments like topical antibiotics (Clindamycin, Erythromycin), and topical retinoids (Tretinoin…or Retin-A)

In short…it’s NOT a condition that warrants being kicked out of the military, not by any stretch of the imagination.

This is nothing more than Pete Hegseth’s white supremacist ass…along with Musk and Trump, who are all more racist than a bowl full of honey is sticky, enacting measures based on their hate and bullshit beliefs…and nothing more.

    Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal break Broadway box office records with ‘Othello’
    Story by Lisa Respers France, CNN • 5h • 1 min read

    An “Othello” revival, starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, has made history.

    The production at the Barrymore Theatre is now Broadway’s top-grossing play of all time, generating $2.8 million with eight preview performances. It exceeded a record held by“Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” which pulled in more than $2.7 million in December 2023, according to Deadline.

    Washington and Gyllenhaal recently spoke with “CBS News Sunday Morning” about the project.

    “It’s the most excited I’ve been this century,” Washington said. “Seriously. I haven’t been this excited about anything I’ve done as I am about this.”

    He plays the title role, while Gyllenhaal is cast as Iago. The Shakespearian plot revolves around Othello as a military commander who is convinced that his wife has been unfaithful by his ensign, Iago.

    Now 70, Washington first starred as Othello while in college at Fordham University and reflected on how different playing the role is now versus when he was 22.

    “I know a lot less now. I thought I knew everything then!” he said. “I didn’t really like the part, ‘cause I wasn’t wise enough to understand it. Now I understand it’s really about a bond, you know, that these characters have. He loves not wisely, but too well.”

    Both he and his costar are thrilled about the play’s success.

    “You get to a point where you’re like, ‘Oh, I’ve worked my whole career for this, for this moment,’” Gyllenhaal said.

    Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in Berkeley for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. Fuze claimed they were paid protesters and he went there to show his support for Musk and DOGE.
