It seems like every year, at least one left wing media fish wrap manages to compare the military celebration of it to racism, or “White Supremacy”. This is typically done by the left on days like Memorial Day, July 4th or Veterans Day. So as usual, the New York Times is asking on this Memorial Day weekend, why do we celebrate “White Supremacy”, basically calling Memorial Day “white supremacy”.

This is a bit rich and ironic coming from the New York Times which basically blew off Biden’s you ain’t black moment.
The New York Times published an editorial on the first day of Memorial Day weekend asking: “Why Does the U.S. Military Celebrate White Supremacy?”
The article‘s byline is the entire editorial board, and it is accompanied by an image of a bullet shaped like a Ku Klux Klan robe.
The central complaint of the article is that there are U.S. military bases named after Confederate Army officers:
The editorial further claims that “The federal government embraced pillars of the white supremacist movement when it named military bases in the South.”
It rejects the argument — offered by the U.S. Army during the Obama administration that “there was no need to expunge Confederate base names because the names were merely ‘historic’ and ‘represent individuals, not causes or ideologies.’”
