First the racists said that Black people were born for physical labor. Then the racists said that Black people were not good enough to do physical labor to defend the country. Racist people are horrible.
Sounds like they are afraid black soldiers won't comply with their future plans.
Pshhh who needs 83% of black males in the military anyway /s had to look up what % of black males this affects and 83% was way higher than I expected
- According to (and I'm not checking how good these sources are so whatever) thegunzone.com 17% of the us mitary is black men.
  Thats 2.6million apparently, which means 500,000 in terms of active, reserved, and civilian members of defense. 1.26 million is the active number, or about 225k troops.
  83% of that is about 188k active troops with the condition.
  
  Did you happen to see or know the total active military personnel to know what % of the US military that 188k will be?
  Edit: nvm I googled it lol its 2.86 million so that'd be 6% of total military personnel
This will prevent the following from reoccurring:

- Racists are so bad they won't even allow Black people to volunteer to defend the America.
  Racists are so bad and afraid of brown people that white America racists are removing child labor laws to prefer to have their own white children working in fast food instead of in school learning just so that they don't see a brown adult.
Seig!
Do pubes need to shaved as well?
- Well sometimes its nice to rip the carpet out and try hardwood flooring.
Hegseth was complaining in March that 'good soldiers' were being kicked out because of tattoos. But I guess because he has tattoos, that's unfair?
Now, he says standards are falling so he's kicking people out because of beards.
Uncle Sam not providing the bootstraps for underserved youth anymore.
