In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Gov. Justice (W.Va.) approves firing of all involved in Nazi-like salute [View all]IronLionZion
(45,427 posts)55. The worst part of this story
The report found that the Nazi salute originated with a cadet who encouraged classmates to use it as a sign of respect for Byrd, a reference to instructor Karrie Byrd. Several other cadets reportedly objected to making a Nazi salute and called it out as inappropriate, only for the instigating cadet to tell them, Look at me, I am black and I am doing it, the report said.
