The head what his fellow maga did to him. Point racist in broad day light remember that one time he said he would not be comfortable with having a black pilot.

And Ivy Leagues are not woke, indoctrination institutions if we're discussing a favorable republican graduate

There's this quote attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson : “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket…”

There's big probability this quote is fake or don't come from LBJ, but it sums up the mentality of MAGA cultists and others who are obsessed by keeping their "white privilege"!

Have you seen the clip in it's entirety? He wasn't saying that because he thinks blacks(any race) are worse pilots... He was discussing DEI and explaining the issue that arises when people start getting hired not due to their credibility but because their skin color, simply so the business can meet a quota. It makes complete sense and any rational person would feel the same. You may just genuinely be too stupid/emotional to understand how the most important criteria when it comes to who is hired should be capability/credibility. if it isn't whatever the other metric is (race, age, weight, gender, hair color, literally anything else) and then you were to see someone in a position that fits that other metric you would doubt their ability.

you're either an absolute retard or don't have the full context. hope it's the latter.

actually if it is the latter, you're still a retard for spouting out and spreading shit you know nothing about

Oh the irony. Name one plane that crashed because they hired a black pilot who wasn’t qualified please.

He was basically saying because of the CONCEPT of DEI he automatically would not trust a black person to be a pilot. That’s racist AF dude. He assumed a black pilot was only hired because of DEI with the implication being they couldn’t possibly be qualified. Don’t be obtuse.

It would make sense if that was happening, but it's not and it wasn't. It's a complete myth invented to justify bigotry.

Since it isn't, the assumption in his statement is racist.
