An 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.”
Jonsson went on claim he “drew attention” to the notion that “racial tension remains an important issue to address” while speaking with two white colonels. According to Jonsson, his “introduction of race into the conversation created social discomfort,” allegedly causing both service members to “ameliorate” the situation “with humor.” He furthermore admonished a fellow white colonel who purportedly expressed the meritocratic sentiment that “when anyone joins the Air Force, they need to adopt the culture of the Air Force [and] that [the branch] should not make cultural accommodations.”
“By obscuring any cultural differences in the Air Force, he excused himself from the need to dig into the underlying issue of racial disparity,” Jonsson regurgitated the leftist talking points.

I hope so.
My thoughts exactly.
I lost any trust in the military when every base named after an Confederate icon was changed to politically correct figures.
It’s the lefts victory signal to the nation that another institution has been captured.
You didnt say “Good luck youre going to need it”
Unfortunately GI Joe is fast becoming Gender Identity Joe
He is a leftist democrat and they are the most racist people of any.
Instead of having to say “Fort What ? Wheres that ?” I just say Fort Hood Ft Bragg etc...
The US military is much more likely to be used against the Regime’s domestic opponents than any external war.
The more incompetent they are, the better.
I detest people like this.
Democrats sucking up all they can for their lost black vote.
Military
Lead follow of get the hell out of the way.
Why doesn’t he withdraw his nomination then? Hypocrite!
Give those white colonels an attaboy. May they soon get stars on their collars.
This is the sort of man who will order massacres of Americans.
They will all be shot or forced into exile to become cab drivers in Paris or movie extras in LA.
All this colonel did was prove that, under the brandon work rules, he is qualified for a boost to a spot beyond his actual abilities.
Let this doofus try to lead white troops.
Don’t mistake white colonel for woke created. This individual was educated in schools’ policies provided by a woke department of education. And after that was influenced by those teachings while interpreting a woke media while following the orders of a command that had the same education and falls under a political machine using that to further their agenda. In other words, a sheep. And now one with a sounding board to enhance the woke. So it isn’t the rank or military problem here. By transgressing to basic chicken little platforms, the problem becomes the taxpayers and that of the enlisted and combat members as I wasn’t aware it took a diverse group of leaders to decide actions in a war. I always thought the decisions were made for the safety and effectiveness of people, not race. Guess I was not educated properly.

Self hating White guy usually translates to self hating Jew unless you are James ‘Golum’ Carville or Paul ‘Forehead’ Begala. /spit
They should help this guy out and discharge him from the military. Dishonorably and if they can figure it out, take away all of his bennies.
And what, sir, in your opinion, needs to be "changed" in the military? Please provide the basis for that opinion.
He’s posturing for his star!
