You probably can expect a "woke" campaign that will demand the U.S. Air Force rename its Thunderbirds exhibition flying team, those pilots who take America's jets into the skies and fly wingtip to wingtip at hundreds of miles per hour to promote the nation's military expertise.
That's according to an editorial in the Denver Gazette, which recently highlighted the fact that the Thunderbirds were providing an aerial demonstration flyover, as they usually do, at the graduation at the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs.
It explains that Colorado has created a commission to banish such names from the state. And pointing at that commission, which admittedly "has no authority over the Air Force and its Thunderbirds squadron," it still notes it remains "easy to see" where the movement is heading.
The editorial explains the lawmaker-approved "Colorado Commission on Indian Affairs," has been assigned to "prohibit American Indian mascots" in schools across the state.

Thunderbirds are no go!
Remember these two words: Rome Fell.

The state-sanctioned erasure of American Indian culture from the consciousness of the American people continues.
It would interesting to be around in 500 or so years to see what historians cite as the reasons America fell.
Their new name: planes that fly.
Let’s get rid of the Blue Angels while we are at it, Angels could be associated with religious figures, which is a no go in our secular society.
Gallo used to produce a brown bag wine for winos called Thunderbird when I was a kid. Wino cultural appropriation, I guess. And, no doubt Ford will follow and diss the T Bird model in favor of the Dodo bird, which no victim identity group has seen fit to adopt as a mascot.
What’s the word?
Thunderbird.
What’s the price?
Mighty nice.
Ahhhh, yes. The Diverse, Inclusive, Equitable left methodically erasing all trace of Native American heritage from American culture.
Ford pretty much took care of that with the last incarnation of the Thunderbird, which was really more of a turkey.
ThunderBro’s. Require that over 50% are POC, just like on commercials.
Try 100 years.
that’s a possibility. no doubt.
500 years? You mean 50 years don't you?
By 2070, spanish will be the official language, the flag with be pink, Churches and guns will be banned, and soylent green will be served daily.
Living in a family unit will be banned, and children will be raised by the state.
Ukraine will be the last free nation on earth, and they will be fighting with swords and hammers.
Too dark?
Never thought much of those fabulous Thunderbirds. I’m more of a Blue Angels type myself.
“The state-sanctioned erasure of American Indian culture from the consciousness of the American people continues.”
... but the promotion of African culture is pushed in our faces 24x7.
What about the Oklahoma National Guard 45th Infantry Brigade, formerly the 45th Infantry Division, that fought all the way from Anzio to Auschwitz - the THUNDERBIRD Division?
This is just too sick.
Try 25 years.
