    Does telling sailors they are oppressors or oppressed improve the Navy's lethality?': GOP lawmakers grill top US admiral Mike Gilday for telling sailors to read controversial book How To Be An Antiracist

    Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday faced grilling at Wednesday hearing
    GOP Reps. Jim Banks and Doug Lamborn pressed him on 'woke' reading list
    Gilday added Ibram X. Kendi's How To Be An Antiracist to sailors' reading list
    Controversial book is a keystone of modern critical race theory ideology
    Gilday fired back at the suggestion that the Navy is 'weak' or 'woke'
    'We are not weak, we are strong,' he said, adding 'our strength is in our diversity'

    'How does exposing our sailors to the idea that they are either oppressors or oppressed, and that we must actively discriminate in order to make up for past discrimination, improve our Navy's readiness and lethality?' Lamborn asked.
    Do you consider opposition to interracial adoption an extremist belief?' Banks asked, referring to Kendi's September 2020 tweet suggesting Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is a 'white colonizer' for adopting two Haitian children.

    Gilday's mic was off, making his response unclear, but Banks pressed on.

    'Do you personally consider advocating for the destruction of American capitalism to be extremist?' Banks asked, referring to Kendi's assertion that capitalism and racism are 'conjoined twins' that must be eliminated together to root out racism.

    Gilday fired back: 'I'm not forcing anybody to read the book, it's on a recommended reading list.'

    Pressed by Banks on whether he supported Kendi's controversial views, Gilday went on: 'I'd have to consider the context of the statement he made, I'm not going to sit here and defend cherry-picked quotes from somebody's book.'

    'This is a bigger issue than Kendi's book, what this is really about is trying to to paint the United States military, and the United States Navy as weak, as woke,' Gilday said. 'We are not weak, we are strong.'

    so this is the Officers corps.
    Russia makes their higher ups read a book on geopolitics and Russia as the center of Eurasia.
    China makes their military leaders read about China culture is far superior to the decedent west
    and that's why they will replace the USA/west

    Whether true or not -those countries teach their officers to think about advancing their counties interests.
    we sit around and talk about oppressing our fellow sailors/military.

    Biden issued order for all of government to pursue "equity"

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...al-government/
    It is therefore the policy of my Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all
    (not equal opportunity , but equity of outcomes)

    This is what Biden said: "It is therefore the policy of my Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all".
    This is what YOU said: "not equal opportunity , but equity of outcomes".

    Do you ever get tired of pulling shit out of your ass, posting it, then going on some tirade about the shit you just made up?

    what?
    do you know the difference between equity or equal opportunity?
    like Affirmative Action can be used where the opportunities are not available

    Equity is equal outcome policies that force general average equal outcomes.

    Lean the definitions
    I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted too
    I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you

    Lean the definitions
    One of us needs to 'lean' the Definition.

    "Definition of equity
    1a : justice according to natural law or right
    specifically : freedom from bias or favoritism"
