omg.

Via Rep. Don Beyer:

This just happened on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. A House Republican just referred to Black Americans serving in our military as "colored people." In 2023.

Acyn:

Crane: My amendment has nothing to do with whether or not colored people or black people or anybody can serve.

Beatty: I would like those words stricken from the record #racism. 1/...

2/ Ohhh but there's more.

America 2023, folks.

Via Aaron Fritschner:

This was not just a slip- Crane also said this:

"The military was never intended to be inclusive, its strength is not its diversity"

"You can keep playing around these games with diversity, equity, and inclusion ... [if] we keep lowering our standards it's not gonna be good"
