"Air Force Academy Prep School: Black cadet admitted to writing racist remarks on dorm doors"
And just how does the lying black's effort to stir up racial hatred make you feel?
I’d love to see how you somehow make this the white man’s fault
Maureen Palmer-Mundy the woman next to him too
Don't listen to these trolls, Marueen. They're caught up in their own racism and can't see that what's important is that the racial slurs were even posted in the first place and it doesn't actually matter who wrote them. They simply don't know any other way to react to being shown by the U.S. military that their racism is worthless trash.
Why can't he be our President.
Joe Pesci I ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing. Spot on my man!!!
I see why George Carlin Loved you so much, to be fair so do I!
I think your losing what little
you had.
He can't be the president because I am willing to bet it never happened it's fake a hoax... Your general has been outmaneuvered by students of Marxist Black Liberation Theology how is he going to deal with the Kremlin...
You're a very "special" youtuber aren't you?
this is the message that all soldiers fought and died for it.justice and liberty for all.
jina ray just a shame the American government don't agree with this man
The fact that a black racist prompted the speech kind of undercuts the message, don't you think?
Amenn
@@waindalton8575 Huh?
@@waindalton8575 not really, because he is NOT talking about skin color. He is talking about dignity and respect, whatever color you are.
Bravo. We need a lot more people of integrity and character like this Lt. General to stand up.
Not much integrity, there was zero apology after the hoax was found out.
@@johnbaker4246 Exactly. Zero apology.
This General is a coward and a terrible leader!
@@johnbaker4246 “Regardless of the circumstances under which those words were written, they were written, and that deserved to be addressed, You can never overemphasize the need for a culture of dignity and respect and those who don’t understand those concepts aren’t welcome here.” - Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria.
Apologize for what?
@@evensteve284 For accusing the cadets of creating a culture of racism when they didn't, it was just some black cadet who wrote it on his own door to try to make a fake racism story. Once the truth came out the Air Force Academy shoved the whole incident under the rug.
That right there is a leader.
Robin Lee AMEN
Robin Lee you spelled *loser wrong.
A leader who jumped the gun.
@@tommytruth7595 Ding ding ding
Thank you General! You nearly made me cry and I felt represented even though I am not in the armed forces, America is greater because of men like you, I salute you Sir.
Thomas Hayot Humanity is greater too!
There was not racial harassment, it turned out to be a hoax, like many incidents before.
No, Thomas, perpetuating hoaxes to stir up racial hatred does not make America greater.
That is the leader that I would follow.
the homeless should make you cry
I still come back to this every now & then because it's a speech and a moment that is the best of us in the midst of the worst of us
Shut up, v60
You also ??? I also !!! I agree fully with you and I confirm with 3 x QUAICK-GOUCK !!!!
@@davidthomas9960
So I found a racist. Were you even hiding?
Who are you telling to ‘shut up’?
I thought his speech was profoundly patriotic.
So please answer my question.
@@stevyz.8623
Please explain your incel philosophy in more ‘depth’.
@@robert-wr9xt no I love the speech and agree with everything he said I was just poking fun at someone with a V60 coffee dripper as their profile picture
I'm glad that General made it clear that racism is not tolerated in academy and entire military branches. I Sir SALUTE you and all my family at arm's and all who sacrice thier lives.
Yes. No need to let the fact that it was a hoax stop your virtue signal.
@@joehoncho8557 and? the message is still powerful, and because is a "hoax", the charlottesville protest and the rising of hate crimes in america it doesn´t. I, myself, saw racist marines and USAF members, and this important message just fly over their heads. America needs a war again, maybe they can´t be better people without someone from other country killing them
@@joehoncho8557 lmao, so him denouncing racism is virtual signalling? Couldn't possibly be because he's trying to reinforce cohesion? Crazy gullible to call any remotely moral act "virtue signalling".
@@HarryNott he is trying to reinforce cohesion by chewing out everyone because of, yet another, race hoax. Sounds about right. Did he give a speech like this after they found the guilty party?
@@HarryNott so a moral act is to chew out an entire group of people because of a hoax? Because you didn’t have the logic or reason to do any investigation before essentially accusing everybody in the academy? That is moral? Ok. We have different definitions.
That's the best speech I've heard in my entire life!
Yeah, the fact that it's all based on a hoax kind of takes the shine off of it, though.
@@MrVara411 not really, because he is NOT talking about skin color. He is talking about dignity and respect, whatever color you are.
@@ivx8345 a black cadet tries to stoke racial hatred and the general virtue signals and chews out an entire group of innocent people. Great example. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@joehoncho8557he’s an equal example of a dishonorable discharge
@@nicholasmedovich6729 yes but almost no one knows this was a hoax. They rushed it on the news when they thought it was a ‘racist hate crime’ but the follow up was quiet. If you ask everyone that heard about this, I’ll bet less than 10 percent know it was a hoax.
I'm a white dude who never served but listening to this man speak leaves a lump in my throat. You can hear and see the sincerity when he speaks, almost like a disappointed father. It's a God damn shame we still have to even have this conversation in this day and age.
You're an easy manipulated p****
I have a sincere question for you. Why are your peers so racist towards others for no apparent or obvious reason? Man, black folks/minorities are tired of that. Extremely tired of it.
@John-mf6ky It came out that it was one of the black students (at first thought to be a victim) who wrote the slurs...making this General look like an idiot.
@joeexotic6049 This was another hoax by a black man unfortunately.
It was a hoax, dum dum
“ A Better Idea” . True Leadership!
true leadership points collected on fake conspiracies
+ari biswas
Irrelevant. This was his gut reaction to what was apparent at the time of the speech. You're lost and completely missed the point. Is that a deliberate thing or are you really that dense?
@@TroyaJamilyn This gut reaction after the speech was good. However the bad part was that there was zero apology after the hoax was found out. He blamed the cadet wing for being racist and never apologized when it was found out the cadet wing hadn't actually been racist.
@@johnbaker4246 actually if you listen to the speech, he didn't blame anyone at all. He simply said that some hateful crap was found on a board. There's no need to apologise at all because the message and tone of his speech was spot on regardless of whether or not it was a hoax.
This is what the Military is for, to ensure liberty and justice for all. His speech embodies that goal perfectly.
@C Cato may you elaborate please? That sounds interesting
@@yoki3818 After a full investigation, one of the "victims" confessed to writing the slurs and blamed it on a concussion for which he had not sought medical help.
Sadly not all get it
So everyone had to sit there while that mouth lectured them over what turned out to be just another "hate crime" hoax.
You know it was a hoax, right? It was written by a black air force cadet.
Good grief. What a speech. This man pulls no punches.
"If you can't treat people with dignity and respect, then you need to get out."
I just wanted cry listening this gentlemen, all my respect & love to you Sir.!
yup hes a true human being unlike Bozo
No, he jumped the gun, and fell for a hoax.
You aint crying anymore i guess
Hate Crime Hoax: Air Force Cadet Admits To Faking Racial Crime
What’s next? Affirmative action in the military?
Damn that's leadership...
I felt the need to hear this speak AGAIN, and I have taken EVERY SINGLE WORD TO HEART. I was always taught to do the things Lt. Gen. Silveria spoke of. It is very unfortunate that some individuals feel the need NOT TO adopt this way of thinking to the betterment of all. Being Black, I grew up seeing Racism in its ugliest forms at of all places, an institution of higher learning, yet we see it in our places of business, Government (Yeah the current President - who claims to love our Military), and points beyond. I am proud that the General made this speech to those who are TASKED to protect us and the Freedoms we have, so that they know what it is like to be a true American. I know this because - I AM AN AMERICAN AIRMAN.
Hoax
So being black, you should be especially outraged that a black cadet would do such a thing and want him severely punished. Right???
I listen to this every week. I love it
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
Been in 16 years and still going... I WISH i had more leaders like this. Thank you Sir!
Thank You........
@C Cato And you purposely missed the point
@C Cato The point was we DO have an issue with racism within our ranks and we need more people to step up and say that it is no place within our military. You're focused on an alleged hoax because I'm sure it fits your narrative that you're trying to paint. There are things you might not ever empathize with but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. IF you are a service member... talk to some other minority servicemembers. Ask them about their experiences. These incidents do exist and I'm proud of this leader hoax or not to step up and say something.
@Nick Fuentes make me big boy
@@AR-br7cl we have such an issue that Black cadets have to stage hate crimes.... Smh....
Integrity, fortidude, mutual respect regardless of political leanings, etc. Respect to Lt Gen Silveria displaying true leadership. Peace ✌️
Hoax
LT. General Silveria's words still inspire and move me, four years later and having listened to his speech many times.
Me too!
Hoax.
Lmfao. A complete fabrication AS USUAL!!!!
@@joehoncho8557 What is a hoax?
@@Therealgordongekko What is a complete fabrication?
This is a very passionate speech. My Father (Willie Lee Parham) enlisted into the Air Force because of their passionately enlightened vision in maintaining peace in the midst of chaos and also protecting the innocence of children of Air Force America, IMy Father had one child and this is me..Proud .of seeing the eloquent Air Force Veterans speech and watching the General make this speech to prevent bullying is awesome. The Air Force General is guiding his cadets with intelligence and knowledge of Goodness which is seen within the heart, mind and spirit of his team. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Hoax
Heartfelt thank you, General! THIS is AMERICA!!!!!!!
That’s right Jane- this is the America that I love and the world loves.
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
Thanks so much for your comment I really appreciate
Hoax
The blonde on the right like yeah that's my general her eyes tell you just how proud she is to have a general like this great man
Awesome speech. That is the speech that President Trump should be giving.
zstork I totally agree with you. But we all know that President Trump can not that kind of speech.
It's not in him he only reads from teleprompter what someone else writes and they can't even get it right just not meant to be in that office. He should go back to real estate that's where he is comfortable to do what he is used to doing.
just more false accusations of racism. This is very divisive.
I’d love to see how you somehow make this the white man’s fault
The funniest video is the one with the CNN panel, praising the general for acting quickly and not waiting for the facts.
This is our you do it... Thank you Mr. General Silveria
Amen! Thank you for your service and leadership sir.
Thank you for virtue signaling
It was a hoax
Im 69 years old and Retired from the Air Force and ready to Enlist again after hearing his Speech.
The racist graffiti was a hoax.
I just Love this General. God Bless u sir.
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
this general is big talk but no action behind the scenes.
Wy can't the leader of the world talk like this
So-called leader
Who's the leader of the world?
She talks like this.
The incident turned out to be yet another fake. The general jumped the gun by implying that there was racism at the academy. It is not nice to be falsely accused of racism. He definitely hurt morale at the academy.
+Claystead The "victim" admitted to writing the messages himself in hopes that whites would be persecuted for it. AKA the same goal as every other hate crime hoax we've seen the past two years, and there's been plenty.
he seemed very sincere. however, a lasting solution must be derived, otherwise in some few months or years we will be back to square one
What is your suggested solution for a black cadet spraying racist words on his own door?
It’s up to us.
That's what I call taking a stand! Good for you!
I can't get enough of hearing this, this guy nailed it *salutes*
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?

Hoax
GOD BLESS YOU GENERAL
But on Tuesday, Air Force Academy officials said that one of the black cadet candidates actually wrote the racist messages.
A true patriot
Dequizo AMEN
No, he has more emotion than wisdom. He fell for the hoax hook, line, and sinker. Why did he believe it was real.....because he wanted to.
True patriots don't perpetuate hate-speech hoaxes, as Silveria did.
Hate Crime Hoax: Air Force Cadet Admits To Faking Racial Crime
He's not playing..he speaks with strong conviction...LOVE HIM!!!
Like how he allowed those who wanted to video record his final statement. Has to be the best use of phone cameras ever.
To document how he was fooled by a fake hate crime. I agree
Someone has a moral compass
So, it turned out to be a hoax. This fiery speech, given to cadets, forced to attend, caused more divisiveness. This general seemed oblivious the recent false flag racial incidents. He was fooled by the hoax. Why, because he wanted to believe that it was true.
rick leonard Apparently not.
"The appropriate response to a horrible idea is a better idea."
So instead of quickly casting dispersion that the white cadets are "racist" without evidence. Horrible Idea. You actually investigate and find the fact that the perpetrator was one of the "targeted" black cadets trying to curry favor. Better Idea. Practice what you preach, Lt. Gen. Not much of a moral compass here.
Someone is a sucker! The racist graffiti was written by one of the so called victims.
And someone, namely the black who perpetuated this hoax in hopes of stirring up more hatred of white people, has no moral compass.
Thank you General, the world needs more persons like you.
It was a hoax. He chewed all those people out over a hoax. “ take your phone out and video my wonderful self!!”
AF Vet truly moved. General Silveria, Starting at 18 years old, I served the Air Force honorably from 1986 to 1995. There I learned about leadership, about how the Air Force becomes your extended family while serving. I learned about how people become friends, learn to love, marry, and have children with others from all parts of the world, from all races, from all belief systems. Our backyard barbecues in base housing at Dyess AFB were models of an integrated society of all types of people marrying all types of people, and it was very cool. I left the Air Force and I never forgot what that looked like. I never forgot the EXAMPLE that the Air Force set for me, and it became a permanent and powerful foundation for how I see others and the value of treating each other with dignity and respect. It drives me to reach out and connect with others in ways most people don’t seem to be able to do. I am not an emotional man, but I was overwhelmed with the leadership you displayed, and that you demanded every other leader under your command to be an overwhelming component of your messaging that day. You brought me to tears, tears of hope that our foundation of tolerance is still intact and still being taught to future leaders. I wanted to personally thank you for publicly and resoundingly delivering your zero tolerance, “get out” message. I felt compelled to personally contact you, to find a way to reach out. Just as our military must always proactively remain strong to keep our nation safe, so must our leaders remain strong to protect those that are vulnerable, that are different, that are unjustly treated. I also watched a follow-on interview with you, and again watched you stay on message even as reporters tried to take you off topic. Bravo. My pride in our country has taken quite a few body blows in recent years. You restored more hope in one speech than you could know. Thank you for your words, the way you said them, and the way you meant them. Tim Jones, USAF Veteran, 1827th Engineering and Installations Squadron, Kelly AFB, and 96th / 7th Communications Squadron, Dyess AFB. I hope you are able to see this, because I want you to know messages like yours reverberate decades after they are spoken. Your message stands on its own, stands over time, and stands tall.
A hoax.
Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria for President 2020
Makes me proud to have served. God bless you for standing up for what is moral and good.
Whoops. 3 star General chastises the entire Academy Corps of Cadets and........there was no racism.....Three black students pulled a Jussie Smollett and a 3 star fell for it. Then after he ripped every Cadet a new one he never apologized for it. Lesson number one. Don't be quick to judge.
It was a hoax
Thank you so much General Silveria. Your message is candid and candor which evolve hope. No matter how adulterated our world is. there will always be good men and women to bring us together. God bless you Gen. and your staff.
I speak as a UK born and raised 2nd generation Indian Hindu living in the UK. This man is genuine and I salute him. I would be proud to serve under him.
Thank you sir, and thank you for your service!!!
Hoax
I love this. I needed to hear this again.
Hoax
for their own sake I hope none of the black students were responsible for writing the slur on the message boards.
Unfortunately, it was one of those black cadets at the academy who did it.
you jinxed it
Your speech is beautiful with a simple message.
I listened to it 4 times and all 4 times it made me cry. “Love thy neighbor as
thy self.” if you can’t do this without reservations get out of the military,
because here we depend on each other. This is the only way it works because in
the military “We are all Brothers and Sisters of the same family.”

@@grumpymonkeyenterprises6413 lord! This is what is wrong with people today. 10 seconds on google would tell you. However, the reporting that it is was a hoax was much quieter than the coverage when they thought it was a racist hate crime!!! Wonder why???? Didn’t fit the narrative.
Never seen an Air Officer, so angered. It's good he spoke out. Reminds of when General Sir Mark Carleton Smith, Chief of The General staff, British Army spoke out about the sexual assaults going on. Good job sir!
All over a hoax.

I think we're gonna be ok.
As an American, who comes from a mixed heritage of African and European, it saddens me to see my fellow brothers and sisters of all creeds, ethnicities and colors being exploited and not getting the love that we all deserve.

Yes. Black people writing such bad things about themselves. Hoax
Yes. The black cadet should be thoroughly punished for his hoax.
Needed a General, Colonel, other officers to speak out. I
gave a speech in 2016, when I awarded my P.H.Medal at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. It was long past in coming. Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. Thank you General!
He fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. You should try staying informed a little.
Hoax
Definitely well said Lt. Gen! I see you among the best world leaders.
Thanks a lot for your open mindedness!
Hoax.
He said that from the heart. No reading papers no bs! Love it. May god bless you sir!
This is indirect contrast to what colonel Woontan and General Brown just said. He said there are too many white officers in the Air Force.
This didn’t age well 💀
Thank you for being a LEADER. This is what Donald Trump should had stated as a so called leader in our nation.
LEADER has lots of blind followers it seems
That's what I call powerful, unwavering leadership
So, this is what leadership sound and look like? Bravo Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria, bravo. I respect you. Thank you for your service.
It was one of the best speech I've ever seen ! What he say is begining to sink in !
I try to live that way, it’s hard, but at end, this foundation is what America is about! Thank you sir 🇺🇸
Yes. America is about race hoaxes.
2 years later and this topic is still relevant sadly
Yes, especially since it turned out to be a fake hate crime. LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Two years later and yes, almost all of these racist incidents are fake like this one. There is not enough racist incidents to meet the demand so they have to manufacture them.
BRAVO ! WHAT CLARITY AND STRENGTH IN WORDS. . STRAIGHT FROM HEART ...... GOD BLESS .
Un gran mensaje, que bueno fuera que todos los seres humanos pensáramos como el, así el mundo fuera un mejor lugar… this was one of the best videos that I have ever seen cheers to this man God always bless you salutes from a Guatemalan guy keep it up
I LOVE YOU GENERAL. GOD BLESS YOU SMALL STEPS MAKE BIG STEPS
This is the way to talk not to members of the academy, this is a words for the whole world. I feel glad to see him talkin like that. Thanks
I love the way he put that. His tone, everything. Powerful.
Yeah, great tone, but he fell for yet another hate crime hoax. That was discovered soon after his rant. Where have you been? Under a rock?
Thank you sir for allowing God to use you the way that you did.
Karen Alston AMEN and AMEN

Allen Herritage told The Gazette in an email, “We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside of their dorm room was actually responsible for the act,” adding, “(t)he individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation.” Turned out this was another fake hate crime.
And you need to start using your brain to think, very easy to spot out hoaxes.
People are saying god is using Trump too lmfao
Kudos to you Gen. The world needs men like you.
Idiots?? He chewed all those innocent people out over a hoax? Biden probably promoted him.
Yes indeed. Hazing racial or sexual has ABSOLUTELY NO place in military operations.
Thank YOU! for expressing your obvious sincere thoughts with ALL the world!
This is how you start a movement of peace. By calling out racism and refusing to allow it. He wasnt asking he was demanding that people who want to be racist pricks to leave. I hope this video is played for years to come to remind everyone how people should treat one another. Than you sir for being an amazing human being and for standing up for what is right
Christian Ramirez AMEN
Now that the black supposed victim of racism has been shown to be a lying racist, will you call him out?
A false claim of racism is no way to start a movement. But wait, a false claim of racism did work for Al Sharpton, and Black Lives Matter.
I would bet my money that he "stays silent like a coward"
+Suicide by Muslim
"I swear to God you people see fire where there isn't any."
Did you get some of the smoke from that fire in your eyes...is that why you can't see it? Here....let me rinse it out for you:
Regardless of whether or not this specific incident was made up self-victimization, the problem of racism overall is staggering. You don't know what drove that individual to write racial slurs against himself on that wall but it's quite likely that he or someone he cared about did actually experience racism of the same kind at some point (and probably consistently) in his life prior to writing it.
It simply does not matter that it was a hoax. This speech was an honest response to the racism that led to it. You didn't even hear what he said about naivety. The problem exists, and this was an addressing of that problem.
Now that you've got the smoke out of your eyes, go learn how to use them properly and shut the [censored] up until you do.
This a true leader, a true American, a true man speaking from his heart, and damn I salute you sir!
Yes. Let’s perpetuate the hoax by filming this so we can stoke hatred between races.
I salute this Gen. Thank you , these are powerful words to my ears and heart!
Why would you be outraged by words? This is the military isn't it? Not some safe space.
I am so tired of crying. You sir are right. Thank you.
Hope he doesn't nuke someone based on false
info and takes the time to learn the truth before
pushing the button.
So was the cadet who did this charged with a hate crime? Hate is hate regardless of your demographics.
hate crimes arent real
@@michaelmckesson6997 because ONLY white people can be charged with racism, look at the law. NOT the other way around, look it up..... its smells very durty..... the law is racist, because the 1% elite has 1 goal, and do whatever takes for it....... WWWIII is beginning.
Interestingly they determined that the language posted was by a black airman at the academy. He admitted it. He was kicked out.
Congratulations to this General for having such an attitude, holding such remarks! The USA with racism are not the USA I love! Fighting ignorance, stupidity is a daily struggle that demands everyone's commitment, whether you are a simple citizen, a general or a public man! Thanks again to this General to remind him! A white Frenchman who has always fought against racism.
Hoax. Like so many before.
Jay Silveria for President!!!!!!!
Yes !!!! Jay Silveria for PRESIDENT. Let's Do It NOW!!!!
Of the global hypocrites alliance?
Please do NOT let this gullible general anywhere near the oval office. The entire incident turned out to be a fake.
His response was genuine, and the problem he addressed is real...so it doesn't actually matter that the incident which inspired the reaction was fake.
Amen
Excellent speech!!! I salute you Sir. Thank you for your service. You're indeed an excellent human being!!! God bless you!!!
Hoax
You have made history General,may God give you more courage to another level.........to serve the world. From Tanzania
I served in the USAF in the 1980s. We NEVER EVER had a racism problem at Kirtland AFB. Everyone got along. No one ever put anyone else done or treated them less due to there race.

Where is the guy that always say fake news folks...he needs to listen to this man he is a real human
Our true hero, Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria.
Could he replace Roy Moore in Alabama?
Inspirational and righteous leadership has always universal impact. But Silveria unveils special hope to those who feel that the values, that once made America great and a positive global influence, are forgotten
I can listen to this brother all day. One Love my brother.
Go General! Respect.
It was later discovered that one of the Cadets did this to himself and several other Cadets.
Prove it. If you know it post it. Also, at the very least, he responded to a perceived threat correctly.
Better yet, I'll research it for you. You just keep spouting whatever you want without backing it up.
Well what did your research discover. Right a cadet did this to himself as well as several other cadets and blamed it on a concussion.
I was being vague in an attempt to have some tact.
Thank you Lt. Gen. Jay!
An example of the leaders we need here!!!
Air Force Academy officials said that one of the black cadet candidates actually wrote the racist messages.
"We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside their dorm room was actually responsible for the act," the Academy said in a written statement. "The individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation."
Was the racist who committed the offense removed from the Academy as per the good general's speech?
The black cadet responsible is no longer there. Not sure if he was thrown out or left in his own
It's that simple. Dignety and respect.
what a gentleman,we need more pple like you General
Did you know the racist graffiti was a hoax. A black student did it. The general did not do a follow up "epic" speech about the dangers of hate hoaxes.
