we dont have a leader but this general would make a great president
except he was socially engineered and fooled. the black student wrote the racial slurs. do some research
@@taoyeahright 🤣
@@taoyeahright Could you send a link that would verify this claim that this was "socially engineered"?
@@billmcginley yeah once the dude knows he has no idea what he is talking about he gets a silent 🤣
@@alexfitzpatrick1527 Or maybe he's still looking for the link... naah! Just to be sure though, I'll send him a reminder to respond with evidence
My heart is totally bursting for this guy right now!!!! He is the epitome of what a great soldier, patriot and human being should be. Wow!!
I hear you. Totally agree!!
A black Cadet wrote this
What a great propaganda for usaf, imagine if this happens to asian born chinese, vietnamese, japanese, or phillipines. General speech would be "meh"
@@kmaxbent7328doesn’t matter. Attitude is equally sickening and disgustinf
Hoax.
If you can't treat people with dignity and respect GET OUT! Diversity is strength. Fantastic leader.
This is the best speech, all over the world should do like that ,we will live in peace and happy.
did you not get the news report where it turns out a black cadet confessed to being behind the vandalism?
He just held the entire academy in contempt for a staged hate crime.
Too bad people dont know what diversity actually means.
@@seansmall9910 true, I hate most mainstream movies nowadays with their fake diversity, There are several movies that i really like that have either a female lead or a strong supporting if not leading minority person.
They where a good movie because they had a good story not like many from today that scream look at me like this movie my lead/ main support is from minority!
An example I always like too use is star trek voyager, female captain, native american second in command, where his heritages is of central importance in several episodes. Halfblood klingon, which in itself is an important struggle for the character in the series. Head of security is of darker pigmentation, is the voice of reason and one of the most important people the captain turns too during moral dilemma's from what i remember.
And the series is nothing like look at me the strong female/ any other trope... what the media loves to throw around nowadays.
The diversity is there, its natural, it makes sense and has a role in the series itself.
Real military who fought in blood and dust do not look to party or skin colour but on moral values that we all share, which should never be a political characteristic but a human one. This General is a good man.
This man. Is a true man. Thank you god. It is the light in the darkness we need.
Which god
@@Garbanzo884 He didn't know at the time of this speech. The confession happened around a day or 2 afterwards.
We have the same last name🙃 we might be related
Amen.
The General is spot on.Thank you sir.
/SAlute
@Dias06 ok, assuming thats true, is the message still fake to you?
Hoax
This is a guy who don't take crap from anyone true leader
It was a hoax.
He made his point clearly known in a simple way..with powerful message and an undiluted cut-out instruction...."GET OUT"......If you can't treat people with dignity and respect GET OUT! Diversity is strength.Fantastic leader.
As a Marine, he is a true leader that should be our next president!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It was a black cadet that did this; marine. As a marine, Id think youd want to be fair and impartial. Investigate.
It was a hoax
"If you cant treat someone with dignity and respect then you need to get out" WOW incredible words of wisdom. What a pity that some many of us completely ignore them. He is in my opinion the embodiment of a Great Man and Leader
And he kept his word..He kicked out the black cadete who fabricated this hoax... The one who did not treat his fellow soldiers with dignity and respect.
this man needs to be president of the free world..
Nah dude he may be against racism but dont forget that hes still a white male.
Agree 👍
Don't anoint him yet... What is the status of the investigation into this horrible event?,,, It has gone nowhere as it is a hoax . But Cheating and Hazing allegations have come up. Not a surprise as USAFA is nothing but a school to get athletes not ready for college ready for the actual Academy. Are you gonna tell me they do not have cameras all over that place and know who wrote the messages ? Because of how the Gen presented his tirade he is now stuck and can not announce that the whole thing was a hoax to call attention to the plight of non white.students . The Hazing allegations threw him a lifesaver and allows him to ignore the actual minority students who did this. .. Google Lt Rapone and see how West Point is also a mess.. This is a result of PC and Athletics ruining our Military Academy's
the idiocy of the public follow like sheep(":
In germany we call em sleepsheep
thank you General Silveria. "God bless you and keep you..."
You feel for the hoax like the moronic liberals you are. lmfao
too bad it was more fake news
the general is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
I don't care what that beta thinks
My Hero. I,v mention many times. We need man like these General. To lead the world God bless you and your family .
I’m from South Africa. Very inspirational. We need people like him across the world. IT IS ALL ABOUT DIGNITY AND RESPECT. Hats off to him
We also share the same feeling..
Hoax
I love this man for the way he think and say.
If u do not treat someone with dignity n respect you need to get out,
powerful n highly respected words from a great leader!!! Dont we need leaders like him? Strengthening Hopes n faiths of every human beings !!! God Bless You Lt!!!
He's a good man, I like the energy he brings when speaking to the public.
This man is the best general I have ever seen.
Air force academy leader I salute you sir you have a good heart.
America should select him for president.
a great man but the USA has, too often, made the mistake of a military leader being a good president and vice versa
No
Wisdom and Power right there. Respect to you, you are a true leader. God bless you
Man am from Burundi Africa but living in French Island Mayotte I'd like to say thank u Sir.
Thank you so much for your words. It's time we stand up and take a stand to this situation. Once again thank you and God bless.
Hoax
Oh Wow Well Spoken Thank You God Bless Man🤴🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❣❣
You are a gentleman mayy all American leaders be like you..... Be blessed Sir.....
I watched this last year Absolutely Correct You tell them Great Positive leadership General!
You should be the President.
Send this to trump! This is what leadership of all looks like!!!
This is how a true leader should look like. You're really a HERO for speaking out the truth fearlessly, standing up for the voiceless and defending the minority ." I salute you with respect General"
What? Chewing out everyone over a hoax? Sure.
It is your responsibility to keep your cadets safe inside prep school under your command. It's time to act and take them on.
RESPECT AND LOVE THIS MAN!!!
Great respect for you General
Thx for leading by example
To any who would aspire to leadership, use this man as an example.
I surely love this man
Wasn't there an individual on a college campus who wrote the same thing in the back of his own car?
You are truly a leader, may God bless you lieutenant you spoke it all
Chewing out everyone because of a hoax? Ok
Is not only good Lt general and God is inside him God bless you Sir.🙏
Thank you for your service... idealism. . and addressing this issue promptly ... and so vigorously....I salute you sir!!!!!!
It was based on a racial hoax perpetrated by a black cadet. Of course the general never apologized to his cadets for dressing them down in front of TV cameras.
Trump did you hear that you need to get out.
What's one thing Trump did that even remotely touches this?
This just in, a black cadet admits to doing it.
this is a hoax just like most claims of racism
All of the comments supporting this general seem so dumb now. Notice, the Main Stream Media is ignoring the fraud story.
I'm shocked! an actual ignorant snowflake here on Yt of all places
Powerful massage this what we want to hear
True Leader!!!
My favorite part about you libtards is you get mad at Trump when he doesn’t make a statement right away. He didn’t say anything about Charlottesville until he knew all the facts. A true leader needs to know all the facts before he starts blindly making accusations. This type of leadership is reckless and dangerous.
lol now that the facts are out maybe you will realize everything you say about trump is based on a hoax too
Respect to you Sir!
Man!! This Gen. means business. one snappy salute!
Man of honour 🎖
God Bless You, Sir!
Treat each one with dignity nd respect
Very nice motivation 👍
This men 🙌🙏🙌
Oh my dream leader for this nation thank you Sir for your service Salute.
Why a black would join the military for this country is beyond me
Dignity and respect means waiting for facts before passing judgement regardless of race.
Amen! The values and standards remain a constant, to be upheld and maintained.
Not just for our generation, for all those that follow after.
You civs are clueless. He had to save face and make a statement right there. He could not wait because he knows that civs love jumping the gun.
@John Ratican Who are you talking to? I'm clearly American. Just read my name.
@Shovel84 Just saw your comment and you're the type of person he's talking about STUPID! I got a Suggestion why don't you just get out,and di this country a Great FAVOR!😠
Yes!!!!
Well Said🤗🤗🤗
Yes, sir, your words are mightier than the weapons some haters standing right before you are carrying.
Trump needs to learn from this guy. Now that's how to be a leader
@A M NEVERTHELESS...
@Lucem the funny thing is, you probably haven't even served in the Air Force in your life. A good leader does not make comments such as "you should be outraged" or "you need to get out". That's not a leader, that's higher rank flexing their power and pissing thousands of Airmen off
TRUMP is doing just fine. Don't like don't vote for him just as I am sure you didn't b4.
President Trump was the one thought Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria... Wake Up...
Great man Great Message
Thanks 🙏 MR 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👨🏽🦱
The commander reacted with ignorance. He just couldn’t wait to virtue signal long enough to find out it was a hoax.
I'm from Malaysia.. proud with u sir
Thank for you Sir for your speech to the Cadets and other officials against racism in the military. Dignity and Respect is all any human being wants and deserves. The military has a very storied and negative incidents toward Blacks and other non-whites service men/women. True hope is that this message will sink into the hearts of all whom listen to your words.
Hoax
Super Mon General ca donne envi de me lever et faire du bien autours de moi qu'elle leçon MERCI VIVE America
Powerful message.
Respect.
Yes crystal clear 😶
My highest admiration for this leading officer - brilliant speech!!!
I agree. Enjoy your weekend. Vote blue.
@@robert-wr9xt Chewed them all out because of a hoax😂😂😂
@@joehoncho8557
Hi Joe.
Obviously you have zero family or relationships in the military.
GED classes are available for free at most community colleges
Go do something in your life. Maybe you will meet a woman
That's how atleast 45% of the police & army folks really feel..
I salute to this man .he is a true leader...I salute you sir even I am not American...
Salute to you Sir......just bring it...
Yes sr the same I thinking 🤔 in my mind
Bravo! This is what leadership looks like!
Doesn’t matter if they are black or it was hoax . You should be punished for writing those.
God please bless him🙌😭 God bless you. ♥️
So powerful, GET OUT👊
1:20 true words never been better spoken. Also the power of INTEGRITY of the diversity
Powerful Speech You Should be the Next President of your Country 🙏 from NZ 🌏🇳🇿🇳🇿
Salute sir
You folks do know that one of the black cadets wrote those words? Google it. They booted him out.
💟💟💟💟🙏May God bless him to continue to help him wipe out this racist attitude.
Can this general be our president?
President? The guy can't see thru a blatant race hoax. LOL
Of course! He engaged in grandstanding based on a fake race based victimhood story!
Right there is your presidential material!
It will be an icing on the cake if he does some more speeches on anti-muslim fake hate crimes though!
Why yes, yes he can. You and he should pick out a nice country in Africa and go live there! Ha, ha, ha you idiots!
For believing a hoax? No, he can't be our President.
Bilal Nadeem Most definitely YES.period.
Nice words! Words of being a great leader! Hope you'll be someday!
Turns out the alleged racist incident was a hoax perpetrated by a black cadet. The general whom you admire did not see fit to apologize to his cadets though. He is a coward, or just doing this for his career. One or the other.
@@johnratican3824 Or perhaps both. being air force probably more on the coward side lol
Now this is a real leader unlike Bozo in the white house
I want him to become a president of the united states now please God bless Mr. General for the best
Thanks General
Regardless of this being a Hoax,I truly appreciate the message this man had for us all. A ton of RESPECT. Ty
I have respect for him because he kicked out of the academy that black cadet who did not show dignity and respect for his fellow comrades.
There you go. Even if it was a hoax, it is "your truth." You Lefties are all the same. We don't have enough racism in this country so we have to invent it. White people are to blame for all racism by all white people no matter how far back in history. Now white people are to blame for racist incidents that did not even occur. Got it.
@@johnratican3824 When it's anti-white these types always love it. Muh diversity! But when the British and French were spreading around diversity, even when it benefits the people of Rhodesia(Zimbabwe) or South Africa, then it "evil colonialism" - Not standing for their knowing hypocrisy. If foreigners coming into a country is "spreading diversity" and that's good, then it's Always good. If the same is "evil colonization" then it's Always evil colonization, Including when it's foreigners coming into white countries. Never stand for their "but it's different when it's white people... somehow, someway, in either way, it's different" - Just state that position,that's if it's bad then it's always bad, and if it's good then it's always good and never back down!
@Kirbys-Epic-Yarn-Fan You miss the point. The general was virtue signaling for the press-who were conveniently invited to attend. How would you like it if you worked for me, and I invited you to come to my office, and with cameras rolling I said, "If you believe in molesting small children you need to get out. It has come to my attention that one of our employees did that." Of course you wouldn't like it; it would be implying that you did something reprehensible. This man used his cadets as a captive audience to virtue signal about a racial hoax. I am embarrassed as a Trump supporter myself that a fellow Trump supporter cannot even see that. You belong in the Democrat party if you think that way. Good bye.
Eso es todo esos son huevos para hablarle así a su gente para que entiendan y no sean racistas
Those words of pure crystals drops, would awake a dead man's mind.
I love purity.
I've lived in Colorado Springs since '99. They sure do have alot of controversy on that campus. I don't hear of half that many problems coming from Ft. Carson or Peterson AFB.
Best scene that place.
Few Good Man! Ernest humanity displayed...
Ese es un hombre que lleva la verdad por enfrente como el no ay muchos pero su manera de hablar es poderosa
i approciate this bracve general
How could you say that
Lovely 😊
Kudos to the Lieutenant General for refusing to tolerate shenanigans.
Wonderful speech
Hey CBS, were you going to follow up on this story? There was an interesting development...
Please elaborate on the development
That conduct has no place in the Air Force. Period.
You are really doing a good service by addressing the horrible racist issues going on in this country, kudos to a real true stand up guy and I salute you sir LT Gen J.Silveria
Good message
How on earth are you going to support and protect your fellow military person in combat if your racist? Your not only going to endanger him or her but the whole unit and the army .
This is a lecture for the ages!!
The ones that put the notes should have been relieved .
A powerful speech...
So that’s how we treated iraqis and Afghans..
This man is a true leader.
