This stained glass window is at the Church in Sainte-Mère-Église. Is it racist?

I see a depiction of two white paratroopers, celebrated for their sacrifice during the Normandy invasion. Shouldn't this glass be altered to depict a black male paratrooper and a female hispanic paratrooper to be racially inclusive?

[lightbulb27]

I was close to that area last year and missed it, how amazing a

It's history that records another time, a better quality of person, but in an awful situation. Let's remember so we don't go back there, but sure looks like we are fool (mispelled intentionally) on going back to WWII.

Hard to believe there are no dogs included since they did see action in Normandy.

There were black people there as well, they can make another window for them, not fair they were excluded from military para troops (that was racist), and they did essential work to ensure those fighting had supplies. Without those people in support, so many more would suffer and die in misery. So thank the black people, but no it's not racist, but it is racist somewhat.

@lightbulb27 But shouldn't we thank the black people by celebrating them on every level? Should we not remove this window because it celebrates toxic masculinity and racism?

[lightbulb27]

not to mention violence and terror and such.
no, it's historical, and they are being histerical, slight word changes make big difference...
if it was toxic, they'd shrink the military budget instead of greatly expand it. they are being toxic promoting wars. So no, I'd hang onto that window and hope it doesn't get cracked again in war.

[Asker]

I think the next war should only be fought by blacks, transexual people, and women; so they can get all of the glory and be celebrated for centuries to come. Let's leave the toxic white men out of the next war, they can stay home and work in the factories and be forgotten.

[lightbulb27]

I agree. it will be so much more lovely seeing all those pink and red and multi colored outfits. heck, they could fight it from a desk using drone navy ships... and probably will.
I still need to write my mytake on the new US Aircraft carrier, the USS Lovefest, our LGBTQ+ squared, peace ship. The world could use one and Biden, would approve it if it's properly spec'd. We need more peace. There's nothing like seeing an 18" multi colored shell burst!
Keep that glass up, honors the endless rows of graves, of those long forgotten, it's worth it to see, to remember what it takes sometimes.

[Asker]

@lightbulb27. What an amazing idea! An aircraft carrier dedicated to LGBTQIA+! The flight deck could be painted in rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 colors, the hangar bay could be made into a night club with techno playing 24/7!

[lightbulb27]

oh man, see, that's why need to pull minds together, the whole flight deck could be a flag, with strobing lights even !! no way would I use a wood deck though cause high heels damage wood. might need to be a "sub" that identifies as a carrier, so can sneak up and surprise people, ya know? with one big 18" gun for fireworks. but who knows... set a budget of $20 billion and lets see what's possible!

Oh for fuck sake! This question is what's racist.
The minority of blacks who are complaining like whiny bitches about racism now days should build their own cathedrals. Maybe they can include some transvestites while they're at it.
I'm so sick of this shit.

It’s obvious that they were parachuting into the heart of the Congo to enslave Africans. Then walk them all the way to the coast to get onto a boat. They are kidnappers 😂

Lefty logic.

[Asker]

@agagagagaga. Exactly! The next depiction would show bayonets covered with the blood of People-of-Color!

As for Normandy, wasn't the whole invasion a giant display of racism, misogyny, and toxic white masculinity?

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Where's the Japanese or German or Italian soldiers? Shouldn't we include the losers, too? How about we also include the Red Army soldiers or President De Gaulle?

[gorydetails]

where's the trans lesbian obese biracial cripple?

[Anonymous]

Of course it's racist. Is anything NOT racist today?

[noohair]

Is this sarcasm, or are you serious?

[Asker]

I am being incredibly sarcastic.

[SaoirseS]

Probably because the French don’t worry about it.

[Asker]

@SaoireS Wait, what? How can the French not worry about the single most important concept of this century!!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I think so not. It doesn’t say anywhere whatever race those people are!

[Asker]

But shouldn't we make the ethnicity more obvious in the name of DEI?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Many people are of several ethnicities. I’m Russian. I’m Ashkenazi. I’m Asian. It can be hard or impossible to guess the nationality/ethnicity by just looking. By the way, who says that Yeshua (peace and blessings upon Him) was a White blue eyed blonde haired hippie? If DEI is supposed to be our Lord, He created men out of many looks.

[Asker]

@hippieveganjewslim. Yes! We need a glass window with every ethnicity and identified gender!

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Are You good at making stained-glass windows? If so, go for it! Just please make no blasphemous images.

[andreasderjuengere]

heh heh heh

[CandyRat]

Yes.
