White supremacist, town drunk, and lifelong abuser of women Pete Hegseth continues his attacks against minority and female service members. This time, he is implementing a new shaving rule that disproportionately affects Black men, resulting in their removal from the Department of Defense. Full list of racist and sexist policies: • Early 2025: Hegseth pushes for the elimination of “woke” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across all branches of the military, arguing they undermine readiness and unit cohesion. • February 2025: Trump fires the Black Joint Chiefs Chair after Hegseth accuses him of promoting diversity initiatives. • April 2025: Hegseth promises that military promotions under his tenure will be “color-blind and merit-based.” • September 2025: Hegseth outlines “genderless” fitness, height, and weight requirements for the military, described as adopting the “highest male standards” in training. • September 2025: The military announces new grooming standards with strict restrictions on braid styles, hair shaping, and nail length/polish that apply to both men and women. • 2025–2026: Rollback of women-specific accommodations in combat roles and training pipelines, with emphasis on uniform physical standards regardless of gender. • June 2026: Hegseth blocks the promotion of 3 female and 2 Black naval officers. • Ongoing 2026: Increased scrutiny and reversals of race- and gender-based recruiting targets, with a stated focus on prioritizing combat effectiveness over demographic quotas. • 2026: Broader reviews of military academies and leadership training to remove content perceived as promoting “critical race theory” or gender ideology. • July 2026: The Navy updates shaving requirements in ways that remove sailors with certain skin conditions, disproportionately impacting Black men.
