More like your head is stuck up your ass. You seem to have this pitiful need to turn everything into a "racial matter". It would be nice if you would quit acting like a little child by making up lies about what I posted. That just proves you can't read.

Tell me Sea Urchin, how did you turn something the Military did and the press is reporting into my responsibility?

Besides if you were half as smart as a Sea Urchin you would know the "investigation" is already over and it was determined that nothing was wrong. Exactly as I implied in my very first post.

Thank them for serving and move along.

Looks like a MAJOR brain fart to me, after 4 years in that place you would think they would have learned not to do something that even looks compromising.

Black woman doing what any group of white males could do without ramification, innuendo, or allegations of breaking the honor code.....and I do not get it because I did not serve in the Military......yep.....but I got this issue because the dog whistle BS of polite post Jim Crow society says we need to move on.....we have gotten beyond racial issues in America.....everything is hunky dory........and it is Seaoat who is hung up on racial issues.....nope....just call balls and strikes like I see um......and never once did that photo create a fear, or a resentment toward those human beings such that I would think that the same way I would celebrate after our basketball team won the league, or I sunk a thirty foot putt, or hit a double to bring in the winning run.....I have celebrated with a fist since I was a kid, but you have to be one warped SOB to attack me after saying that these high achieving and successful women had a brain fart.....that assumes that they are not equal to whites or males.....and that is not my problem.....but societies problem as Donald Trump has played that fear and prejudice to get his party's nomination.....yea its all in Seaoat's head and Trump and what he appealed to is imaginary.....and this photo controversy never happened.....but at least I was able to stop at Hall's hardware and get a wheelbarrow to put my big head in since being right so often it is getting tough to get around......and piszing off Gator is simply a bonus.....I love this place.

Unfortunately you see the group as "BLACK WOMEN" and not MILITARY OFFICERS because you are a a race baiting, narrow minded bigot who likes to lie and make up bullshit to further your race baiting tendencies.

Not my problem.

Anyone can have a brain fart (actually it's not even an insult) Jabroni but if you ever had one it would more likely be a huge SHART.

I have been having way too much fun messing with you, but a serious question....do you really not see the racial implications of folks stirring up a controversy on that photo? Do you not see how it was reported and what people were saying on certain networks? Do you think Donald Trump would be the nominee if he had not attacked Muslims, Mexicans, and black lives matter?

I guess some folks cannot see. They were black women. If this was just about officers and seeing officers, this entire racist attack would never have happened.

Much ado about nothing. I think there might be money in selling wigs that look like "hair on fire"? There seems to be a clan of just naturally hysterical types in this country. Note the "official" photo also included in this article.
