Pretty funny coming from a bald white guy.

Is this what the democratic has become? Repenting for being white?

Is that what he said? Or did me acknowledge that in a country of 340Million, it would be surprising if they were all the same race?

I don't see any shame. I'm surprised at the number of senior officers being fired by the incompetent Hegseth.

Nobody should ever have to apologize for their race. It was not their choice. Democrats absolutely hate white people. And most of the haters are white. Crazy Clown World!
Call it a tax, the people are outraged! Call it a tariff, the people get out their checkbooks and wave their American flags!!!

It was 100% a ploy to cater to his audience, the event, and his policial target audience as a whole lol

Jesus Christ, you are dense

So, you saw an American man lead a flawless (to our eyes) mission that reenergized the nation about our possibilities. (Like we used to do)

And it chapped your ass. Go be mad.

Kelly's reasoning is solid. When you build a team, different perspectives matter. (In you listen to them)

Normal people saw an American man lead the mission. Your people saw color and gender - neither of which science gives a damn about.

There is no "perspective" in space.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I didn't even know it was a bunch of white guys/gals until Kelly wanted to virtue signal

Your "perspective" is why we're in the war with Iran with this predictable disastrous outcome.

In this case, just adding some experience could have made a difference. Instead, experience is downplayed and weeded out for Hegseth, Jared, Whitkoff and Vance.

We are in a war because we have no brown people making decisions?

Interesting concept, since you brought it up, being the people that actually going in on the ground about 40% will be hispanic, and black. Maybe their relatives should be in on the decisions. If you want to go there.

Or we can continue to have 80 year old white men who didnt serve, their kids didnt serve and no one in their families will see a missile except on a tourist tour. Actually they all have doctors notes excusing them.

Not the worst idea.

There are astronauts, and there are astronuts.

Kelly falls into the latter category.

Well, if you watch the video, "terrified" might be a strong word, but that is kind of what he said.

It is exactly what he said lol

It was DEI virtue signaling to its core

The guy graduated USMMA, flew fight jets in combat, made the astronaut program and spent a year in space representing the US. His opinion should count.

Only the lowest IQs think race should matter in science and space exploration, and the mouth breathers in here defending this garbage prove it. Funny how the "bububut Ima REPUBLICAN, I just don't like TWUMP!!!" crowd is also defending this DEI crap...
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

No, but his opinion on space crews should carry more weight than you or mine.

He's also a Democrat who was clearly virtue signaling and pandering in those comments, as we all know.

So I'm not sure I'd subscribe as much weight to his comments as you suggest they deserve.

If you think that is what Kelly actually believes, and is simply not virtue signaling at a largely minority event with one of the worst race baiting figure heads in the country

Well, I have ocean front property I can sell you in the Saharan Desert

May God have mercy on your soul

The guy has more standing than any of us. He could be an expert witness in the subject, none of us could.

That it was, plus it was a 100% a racist comment and just more proof that the dims are perfectly fine with and supportive of openly racist rhetoric as long as it is directed at white people. Imagine what would happen if a Republican (or anybody else for that matter) said "the last thing I want to see in a space shuttle crew is 7 people of color….". It's always the dims who are obsessed with completely superficial things like race, ethnicity, gender, etc. and it's the dims who are the REAL racists.

The guy is a politcian and says whatever to serve the narrative he is pushing. Trump does the same thing. They all do.

Not what he said. He said he couldn't imagine having a team of everyone just like him. He specifically referenced "naval" grads.

I once took over a team of all Indians. (Not a criticism of Indians). What quickly became apparent was that these guys were brilliant but lacked experience in America. They'd bounce ideas off each other and end up with the wrong solution. They were solutioning with an India/UK mindset. That's what I heard Kelly say.

What I heard him do was deliberately introduce race when race should have absolutely nothing to do with the subject.

When a statement is objectively, stupid and racist, I would argue it doesn't matter who is making it. The idea that certain races think a certain way is in and of itself racist.

The Great Race Baiter For Profit Reverend Al Sharpton didnt even ask anything about it. It was off subject, and odd.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It is noted you dont agree and think he really doesnt believe it. Maybe he actually does. But i am sure you are right and really know. well done

If you're too dumb to know what he's doing then that's on you. If you fail to understand the racist overtones of saying that because of someone's race, they think a certain way, and will be a danger to the mission, you're not too bright.
