Amazing quote.

"The appropriate response to a horrible idea is a better idea." TBF, that's only true if the person with the horrible idea has their ears and mind open. White supremacists do not.

And frankly, that quote is a little out of place in a military setting. I don't mean to demean this guy at all, but he's sort of in the wrong business to be saying that. The military is the antithesis of diplomacy.

@ibieiniid It's an academy with a strict code of conduct. Acceptance is not easy. You have to be nominated amongst other requirements. Cadets do not have to be there. So, they can get out. Would you prefer the cadets' leaders have a group hug?

ibieiniid...it applies more to the philosophies that the military fights to uphold.

Nick Siekierski its not nice to write racial slurs... People will always speak out against things like that. You are free to cotinue the biggotry but people on the right side of history-like this general- will always speak out. So continue... And we will continue to be social justice warriors. Like MLK

Nick, pay attention... this is a LEADER and an agent of unity. Let's put silly little concepts aside for a moment - like "All Men Are Created Equal". And let's just focus on the fact that the military has a vested interest in unity among the ranks. They all need to be on one unified team with a singular mission. If nothing else, divisiveness is not good for business... PLUS, you're wrong... when everyone is a sheep (as you put it), that's when good leadership is needed most. Open your mind, young Nick, there is still time for you.

True leaders don't chase racists with justice and cuffs OH NOO THEY CHASE THEM OUT WITH WORDS!! What a joke 351+ people are retards.

F off, your saying that because you scared of Mr. Sergeant here. Get down and gimme 10, now take a lap.

ibieiniid I agree guy replying has a face like a C U Next Tuesday

ibieiniid nice upvote bot

A true American would have weeded out the racists and pointed them out. Not say a pointless statement. Actions speak louder than words.

dude stfu please. you don't think he wants to root out the racist who wrote that BS. I'm glad he made this speech because he's calling out racism and saying that shit ain't welcome in our ranks. unlike pres. trump who didn't even have the balls to call out racism at charlottesville. Plus i'm pretty sure he weeding out the dumb idiots who wrote that BS.

How does one go about "weeding out racists"?

So now you're replying to people you think are bots? Are you stupid or are you a liar?

The real crime is that time stamp.

Daniel Murphy. True! Fixed the timestamp 4:51

lmao. 😂😂

Daniel Murphy with out that man we might as well live in caves

needed a laugh thx

should be as passionate about repealing The Act of 1871.

Yup, a total fabrication. Once again, acting before all the facts are presented.

thewitchking84 Had the same thought, points for no VV(!)

Rafael Ortiz yes but we won’t because people like him won’t run for president for some fucking reason so we get stuck with people like trump and Hillary so we have to pray and bite a bullet

You mean real men or women with actual leadership skills? Lol i wish.

Emelda Lawson, God bless you!

Do you have anything to say to the BLACK CADET who write the racist messages?

Then you found out the guy that wrote and word was black and it was a hoax please update your response

He got his P.C. brownie points in.

John Labus I bet General Silveria will tell you he and his soldiers are fighting for you to have the privilege and right to have free speech, and they are also fighting for those who exercise their free speech to disagree with you. We are not N. Korea yet, are we?

If one disagrees with what he says in this video, it says more about them than it does about me or him.

Yes. We are all entitled to our free speech but clearly this hate has no place in our military. I support our troops and what they stand for. Clearly those who dislike this video would have no place in his military academy.

This is what being brainwashed by democrats looks like

Treating everyone equally, regardless of Gender and Race, is, to you, being "Brainwashed by Democrats?" It's individuals like you that lend credibility to the whole "Republicans are Racist" bullshit. Congrats on being a walking Stereotype?

Racists go free but a statement like this will fix it right?

True leadership doesn't win elections. The problem isn't our system, the problem is us and our unwillingness to think for ourselves or at least to choose leaders who are actually skilled at leading. Instead, people choose who they "like" based on how charismatic they are and how much they think they align with their personal beliefs.

Sounds like agood concept. Can you elaborate? What gauge should people use in order to evaluate against a leader's actions in order to consider them skilled at leading? How do you do it?

Evidence and fact about their actions and outcomes.

that's right!!!

Exactly.

Thank you for not catching the racists....... cause we all fucking know thats more important than making blanket statements

I am sure they caught them. This was a pure honest warning. Educational thought. At least this was for me. Anyway, I would have done the same with my own son. But I guess and thank god, my son does not need such a speech.

delicate subject yet racists go free and are not being investigated.... All this fucker did was say something we like to hear I would like to see it done and catch the racists instead.

Agree, This is Beautiful

If only they caught the racists instead of making blanket statements.

Good but did he say it because he is part Black?

Bits Be Trippin' r

A black cadet wrote the racist graffiti found at Air Force Academy. But lets not let the truth get in the way of a good white guilt story.

Get him in office NOW. 100 times better than orangeface

OfficialHoneZtAbe, nothing like a statement about skin color on a video about fighting racism.

You do realize he's probably conservative?

Robert Hanson Remind me again, what RACE is Orange? trump chooses to be Orange skinned. Calling him out for it, is NOT RACIST...

Trump has 2020

Hiruh-040 Erin Mind your business libtard.

Mr. Precedent he just said if you can't treat someone with dignity and respect get out. So stop or get out. I bet the usaf will provide free rides ;)

dasoulfoodbuffet they should get out of planet earth. Maybe Elon Musk can help with that.

guess all those people dissing our president should leave huh

Sergio Velasquez dude gtfo of here, if your just gonna troll. Go troll on a funny video instead on serious topics

jjoe50020023 he literally made light of sexual assault he’s not some who deserves dignity nor respect. Literally millions of American lives are at risk in PR right at this moment and he’s not shown that he cares one bit. The only difference between them and the Houston/Floridians is that they are brown and speak Spanish. They are literally American citizens and he’s minimizing that emergency over some football players exercising their rights. How has this man earned anyone’s respect?

exactly right!

Mamec yes he is a good man....

Nick Siekierski wtf, this video is about treating everyone with dignity and respect not trash tweeting them

ELEVATOR OF HELL don't cut yourself on that edge

ELEVATOR OF HELL who let you out of your cage?

Mamec are you Jewish?

Now if we can only weed out the racists and point them out....... instead of making statements and telling the students to pull out their phones as if it were a rehearsal.

JAG is handling the case. Trust me, they'll find the one(s) who committed the crime, and trust me, you do NOT want JAG on your arse. That's court martial time, military law, not civilian law.

Too many bots

orlared America has racial tension because of racist people, not minorities. Everyone else that's not a bigot gets along fine. The only people I've ever had issues with have been racists who are determined to hate me.

Except the incident never occurred.

Shawn Fraser he’s an idiot.....he should have swept it under the rug, racism is expected and a uniform won’t change that.

You must be one of the 44 people that disliked the video. It's idiots that think like you that is the primary reason why this problem still exists.

Shawn Fraser I disliked the video. Great speech but most likely a publicity stunt. We don’t know who wrote on the boards. I remember in my academy we had cameras so idk bout this but seems fishy.

If only he had caught those racists instead of making a pointless liberal speech

Miss Kobe Yoshi he's telling the kids to cut the crap... It was one of them in the crowd. Cut the crap or get out. And tell me when did being anti racist become a liberal thing?

Cant_Touch_This not far worst ... Just as bad

Actions speak louder than words liberals are weaker in logic than most Americans

You are also dumber than most americans i can tell.

One who jumps the gun?

True leadership is jumping to conclusions? www.nytimes.com/2017/11/08/us/air-force-academy-racist.html

YoungLifeVices u have bad teeth

AND A BIG HUG AND KISS... A NAVY BRAT

Tad Pierre-Louis come together as a nation without hate and prejudice!! Forget all who appose they are a product of the media. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Black Knight the thing is, it isn't Vietnam time, we're on a brink of war for WWIII! For him to try to bring the country together while we're dividing like the civil war, along with the President, makes them better men than those who oppose the flag.

Black Knight for you to say that makes you the lowest of the low. If you do in America, you are just unpatriotic and deceivable to us as a whole. You and others like you are dividing this country and are weakening yourselves in the process.. it's sad and pathetic.

This was a lie and fabrication. The black cadet crying wolf, was the one who wrote the racial slurs on the chalkboard.

Blacks need to get out

If only he had caught the racists.....

Paul Neil diversity isnt a strength. it only divides you.

Matt Noel try telling that to the romans

Matt Noel Shut up moron.

Matt Noel it's not diversity it different thinking

Matt Noel. Diversity doesn't only have to do with race lol

You are so right.

You must have missed Trump's speech to the UN

ShieldAgentBarton Gaming You mean the speech where world leaders were laughing at what Trump was saying?

MrKGatl lol

I still feel the same damn way! Even though the reason behind him needing to give that lecture in the first place, was all due to an idiotic hoax. Doesn't change the core meaning of the speech being as relevant in todays time than ever before!
