“Black Panther foundation seeks to sell “Burn Baby Burn” hot sauce”

SNIPPET: “OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Former Black Panthers are hoping the phrase “Burn Baby Burn” will help their nonprofit organization market a new product - hot sauce.
The Huey P. Newton Foundation, named for the co-founder of the 1960s militant group, is seeking to trademark the phrase that for many brings to mind the racially charged 1965 Watts Riots in Los Angeles that left more than 30 people dead, at least 1,000 wounded and hundreds of buildings in ashes.
The new line of hot sauce, called “Burn Baby Burn: A Taste of the Sixties Revolutionary Hot Sauce,” is aimed at “anyone who wants to have an extra savory boost to their food,” executive director and original Black Panther David Hilliard told The Associated Press.”

Yes, I’m certain sure the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are working diligently to implement looney left “diversity” in their military forces.
I mean, the military is all about social experiments, right?
Mullen is probably a Communist mole.
Respectfully, not as ex-military (I’m not), but as son of retired military, we have diversity. I had the privilege of growing up around Air Force pilots and their kids. Aside from some bureaucratically-minded leadership, the us military is spectacular, hands down. And people from all walks of life are there, doing exactly as they should. When I hear words such as these, it reminds me of some similar phrases from former corporate head honchos of various multinationals I’d worked for. As in, when you can’t find a genuine problem, start picking apart that which is already working well. I truly think there is no force on earth that can touch you guys in the military. I just wish that some of those losing their way occasionally (in command) had better sight of how good you guys are.
It can't be soon enough for me!
> Mullen is probably a Communist mole.
Either that, or he is a brain-bleached fool.
He should be given brig time followed by a dishonorable discharge.
No way should such a fool be in command of any American military.
I can’t say it any better!
This is an attempt to push open homosexuality in the ranks?
Multiculturalism is killing us.
Probably so, but it is more certain he is a 60-70s progressive idiot.
Our Military leadership has no balls. Now it is official.
I think Mullen is an idiot; he and General Casey can just go out back of the Pentagon and play hide and go F*** themselves.
I don’t think he is a Commie but he ISa 60-70s progressive idiot. A native of Los Angeles he did graduate from The USNA!
this is how a nation sinks...you get supposed leaders NOT focusing on their priorities and dabbling in voodoo hysteria over some ridiculous goal....
its like the wolves......the wolves would come back naturally on their own into Yellowstone and Glacier and other areas .....they didn't need to be "reintroduced"...
when femalies and minorities want to be military people, there is nothing stopping them.....
The last year I was in the Navy was really weird. I got out this past May. My command was visited three times by three seperate admirals. One discussion point they always had was diversity and the Navy’s vision for their future admiral corps. They want the Navy’s Admirals to look like a cross section of the country in 2025, where currently they are nearly a bunch of old white guys. I would look around the room, and there was about 15 of us. All of us were white, and male. I just found it strange that is what these touring Admirals always wanted to discuss with their officers. They also discussed Iraq and Afghanistan, but this was the top discussion point.
This is such crap.
These "white males" who got accepted to West Point, the Naval Academy, or top universities on ROTC scholarships has to compete for those with their sex and race as a DISADVANTAGE.
There are not quota points on the numerous boards for being a white male. You have to get by with your academic, sports, SAT, and individual records, because there are not quotas for you.
Next, this "talent in the room" is a platitude of the worst sort. How does he know that? Is he saying a room full of women and minorities is more talented than any room full of white men?
Yup.
Talk about discrimination!
This heavy handed PC mindlessness is coming straight from the top: The Community Organizer and Secretary Gates.
On top of the "Gay" directive, the military should be effectively destroyed in about 18 months.
Mullen is an “F” wit of the highest magnitude.
