This is sick as fuck, and it's standard operating procedure thru today. We can't get a break, even when we've earned them.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY,, @AfricanArchives on X.

Watched the movies Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick?

The first Top Gun competition was held in 1949. The white pilots competed with the latest state of art aircraft while the black pilots were forced to compete with older obsolete planes.

After 3 days of competition The Tuskegee Airmen team of : Captain Alva Temple, 1st Lieutenant Harry Stewart, 1st Lieutenant James Harvey, and 1st Lieutenant Halbert Alexander (alternate) were announced the winners. The official results for first place were recorded as “unknown” for nearly 46 years.

There was dead silence in the room. Not one of their colleagues applauded this accomplishment. The victory was swept under the rug and the trophy ‘went missing’ and was not seen by the public for 55 years (until 2004). Introducing the real Top Guns.

73 years after the historic win, the American Association of Retired Persons’ Wish of a Lifetime organization met with Harvey to grant his “wish” – that his team be widely recognized.

They surely deserve recognition. However, every caretaker of more than one child knows that the very young have the tendency to behave like that even if they’re all of the same color 😂

Yes, very young indeed. Interesting take, and very agreeable but little to no known track record of whites denying recognition to whites, in this fashion that I can recall. This is systemic and purely racial, not for money or to hold back technology as in the case of Tesla and maybe a few others. More to preserve the myth of superiority.

A superiority that serves no good purpose, with Palestine today as a prime example, if you can't see it else where, and continuing in the Americas today as well.

While I don’t deny that there’s racial tension/ a deep mistrust against everything that’s different from one self, I know for sure that there are whites that are fighting other whites at work literally every day.

Perhaps they’re sometimes use an outsider as a scapegoat to find a reason to unite. Which is of course very sad for this poor soul.

If you clear your mind and focus on your heart area you might see that humans with primitive behaviors are very „young“ indeed.

When I’m amidst such a group I pray „may all beings wake up softly“, feel free to try 🤗

Yes pretty much, that I pretty much agree with, meditation as well.

I'd also suggest that it's from top down, a very successful divide and enslave tactic, that we the people must come to grips with.

Thanks and vigilance towards some peace on the planet.
