    A Pentagon official and member of the United States Air Force hosted a panel discussion that pushed Critical Race Theory, with academics and a former member of the military claiming that America's public school system has a "white middle class problem" and that racism is "part of the fabric" of the United States, a video obtained by The Daily Wire reveals.

    The August, 2021 talk, part of a broader series called "Crucial Convos," was titled "Critical Race Theory. What is it?" and included endorsements of the far-left theory from academics and a former member of the military.

    The event was organized by a team including Brigadier General Terrence Adams, who stated during the talk that "this is not a military event at all, it was a grassroots effort to talk about different topics." Multiple Air Force bases have advertised installments in the Crucial Convo series on their official websites, however, and the event was organized by Adams and moderated by retired Air Force Brigadier General Greg Brundidge. The Air Force did not respond to a request for comment.

    Panelists reaffirmed the core dogmas of the leftwing ideologies, including that America is systematically racist, that white people enjoy unearned privilege on the basis of their race, and that disparities in group achievements are necessarily the result of discrimination and prejudice.

    One panelist, a Georgia teacher named Dr. Jay Wamsted, asserted that disparities in academic achievement by race were due to a "white middle class problem" in America's schools.

    "Something is broken in the public schools, and it's either nature or nurture, it's either these black boys and girls or it's, and I'm going to throw a stone here, these white teachers," Wamsted stated during the talk on Critical Race Theory. "Our structure of public schools has a white, middle class problem."

    He went on to imply that white American men are naturally complicit in both racism and sexism as a result of their identity and upbringing in the United States.

    "I am not a racist but I do sometimes perform racist acts because of some imprinting on me growing up white and middle class in America," he contended. "In a similar way, I am not a misogynist," he added before stating that he does sometimes engage in misogynist acts because he was "raised in a patriarchal society."

    He provided one way in which white people can atone for racism, however. "When a white person is looking to help, an easy thing to do is spend your money at black businesses," Wamsted stated.

    Wamsted, who did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire, also recommended a book from leftist Carol Anderson that advances Critical Race Theory

    "Carol Anderson wrote a great book called 'White Rage,' which is a hard book to read if you're white but it's a good read," he stated. The book claims that "black advancement" is the "trigger for white rage," and that white rage "works its way through the courts, the legislatures, and a range of government bureaucracies." Wamsted did not respond to a request for comment.

    Though Wamsted was perhaps the most radical of the panelists, others chimed in to reaffirm their support for Critical Race Theory and its core doctrines.

    The talk was moderated by retired Brigadier General Greg Brundidge, who similarly advanced the belief that racism is deeply embedded in the institutions of the United States. "There's not going to be a single home run hit that gets rid of racism, it is part of the fabric of the nation," Brundidge claimed on the call.

    Another guest, DEI consultant Tammy Hodo, claimed that race is not a biological reality but a social construct that white people have used to garner special privileges. "Race is not real, it's a social construct, it is not biologically real," Hodo said. "We recognize that the European Americans alive today did not own slavery [sic] or anything like that but they have definitely benefited from the racial construct of white privilege."

    The panel conversation was part of a wide-reaching attempt by the Biden administration to embed Critical Race Theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies throughout the military and the national security apparatus.

    The Biden Defense Department requested a whopping $269 million to bolster its DEI agenda from 2022 to 2024, one investigation from The Daily Wire revealed. Military funds were even used to establish a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) career pipeline program that discriminated against white and male students at the University of Missouri - Kansas City. The DEI pipeline program had to be modified following the Supreme Court's decision against affirmative action.

    Even American intelligence agencies have adopted far-left ideologies. The NSA created a 34-page DEI Glossary complete with terms like Critical Race Theory, transmisogyny, white fragility, settler colonialism, and the gender-neutral pronouns "ze" and "zir."

    One agent at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) wrote in a widely circulated newsletter that crossdressing made him a better intelligence agent, The Daily Wire revealed. Both the ODNI and the Air Force hosted pride month celebrations, which included intelligence agents having their nails painted the colors of the transgender flag and a talk with the leader of an organization that encourages medical child sex change attempts, respectively.

    Pete Hegseth, president-elect Donald Trump's pick for Defense Secretary, will have the opportunity to purge the DEI agenda from the military if he is confirmed by the Senate.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?
  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.
  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.
  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.
  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

DEI is a "feel good" set of convoluted principles that provide a sense of well being for people who generally are intellectually challenged.
