Biden Air Force Nominee Claimed ‘White Colonels' Are The ‘Biggest Barriers' To Change In The Military
[The Federalist] A n Air Force colonel nominated by President Joe Biden once claimed that "white colonels" are the "biggest barriers" to addressing so-called "racial injustice" in the U.S. military, according to a new report.On Thursday, The Daily Signal’s Rob Bluey reported that Col. Benjamin Jonsson, who is "currently awaiting promotion to brigadier general," penned an article in the Air Force Times weeks after George Floyd’s death lamenting his fellow white airmen don’t go along with leftist talking points about so-called "racial injustice" in the U.S. armed forces. "As white colonels, you and I are the biggest barriers to change if we do not personally address racial injustice in our Air Force. Defensiveness is a predictable response by white people to any discussion of racial injustice. White colonels are no exception," Jonsson wrote. "We are largely blind to institutional racism, and we take offense to any suggestion that our system advantaged us at the expense of others." Posted by: Besoeker 2023-08-18 |
