Top U.S. Military Officer’s Defense of Critical Race Theory to Understand ‘White Rage’ Stokes Controversy
Breitbart ^ | 24 Jun 2021 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 06/25/2021 5:51:49 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

The top U.S. military officer in the United States and President Joe Biden’s military adviser, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley is stoking controversy on the right and left after he defended studying critical race theory as a way to understand “white rage” during a House hearing on Wednesday.

Milley, asked to respond to Republican lawmakers’ criticism of critical race theory being taught in the military, caused shock waves throughout the political world that were still reverberating the next day, when he defended it and tied “white rage” to the January 6 Capitol riot.

He said:

I’ll obviously have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is. But, I do think it’s important actually for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read and the United States Military Academy is a university and it is important that we train and we understand– and I want to understand white rage and I’m white, and I want to understand it.

So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out. I want to maintain an open mind here and I do want to analyze it. It’s important that we understand that because our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians, they come from the American people. So, it is important that the leaders, now and in the future, do understand it.

“I want to understand white rage and I’m white, and I want to understand it.”

A more productive endeavor for Milley and his fellow travelers would be looking in the mirror and attempting to understand white / collective guilt, and hopefully recognizing its irrationality.

What is white rage?

Disagreeing with a Democrat.

He’s a communist traitor. And too uneducated to be in that position.

This guy has been running his mouth about politics and social issues ever since his appointment, which should never have been made. He reminds me of the generals that Lincoln had to go through before Grant and Sherman - one, Hooker, said that the US needed a dictator, obviously him. When asked, Lincoln responded that he would tolerate being replaced by the dictator if the general would for once win a major battle. I don’t think there is any danger of this arse Milley becoming a dictator or winning a major battle; there is a major danger in his continuing to degrade the military. A pompous ass.

Can you imagine a real war with this POS Milley going up against Irwin Rommel? Or maybe that chickcrap Admiral that testified last week facing off with Yamamoto? The United States will fall within days with military leaders like these clowns. The Chinese are taking notes and I am sure they are quite pleased with what they are learning. We had better learn some Mandarin if we want to survive. China will never have a better chance than now to kick our ass, and I would bet it is discussed in Beijing everyday.

.........The “naivete” of our top military man is alarming. “I want to understand white rage”???

Duck Duck Go’s definition of Milley:

Lacking worldly experience and understanding,
especially.
Simple and guileless; artless.
Unsuspecting or credulous

Milley is “unsuspecting” that through his platform he gives The Left an ounce of credulity on CRT where there was none.

The Joints Chiefs of Staff is just another bloated Federal bureaucracy. There is no requirement for military prowness or warrior mentality to become a “Chief”. What is needed is the ability to pole climb effectively and then be able to take orders from the political commissar minders on the staff who actually make policy.

Most clowns wear colorful and oversized clothes while some wear a general's uniform.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Whites who view their own ethnic heritage as evil should move to a country where Whites are a minority.

Critical Race Theory is actual racism against whites dressed up in semantic obfuscation.

In America everyone has had this kind of boss at some point
in their lives.
They just want to keep that big pay check coming in and will
do whatever they think is socially relevant to keep their job.

It gets really bad when it involves the Police or Military as
they are not supposed to be political.

If this General thought the higher ups wanted it he’d have all personel attend a drag queen show(wait that’s already happening), or he’d allow gender transitioning paid for by the US government(oh wait) well they would search out
dangerous white people to be removed from the service(wait).

What struck me last night, watching videos of his testimony, was his underlying anger. He was clearly masking it through much of his talking, but occasional bursts of hate and anger clearly showed through. It was not at all clear what he was angry at, but he clearly showed fits of anger. It made him seem quite unhinged. With someone as unstable as he is leading the military, it makes me quite fearful of the military.
