The racism is apparent now
"The Department of Defense deleted a story on its website that highlighted Jackie Robinson's military service, with the original URL redirecting to one that added the letters "dei" in front of "sports-heroes.""
"Other stories, including one on Robinson's teammate Pee-Wee Reese that references his acceptance of Robinson amid racial tensions in his first season, remain on the site."

I am sick nigh unto death of the hateful racism which MAGA has fostered and enabled at all levels of our society, bot individual and government. When they say "DEI," we know exactly what they mean.

After some pushback, and in first line of the article, "The Department of Defense restored a story on its website highlighting Jackie Robinson's military service Wednesday..."
Pushback and calling these people out works, at least for now.

Reminder that fascist civilians are still fascist. The average german in ww2 was just as guilty as goebbels or himmler

So I'm really hoping someone has all these American heroes they are erasing written down somewhere. I want them back.

Which is what happens when you get caught removing something for racist purposes.

The mere fact that it was tagged DEI in the first place, and deleted, is a prime example of Musks "move fast and break things". If they are deleting history because its DEI, imagine what else they are deleting.

That doesn't make it good. They deleted it because it was a reminder that black people have been historically suppressed in the US and they don't like being reminded that they "made it" because of who they are not what they did.

Never said it did
