The Pentagon announced it has launched a probe into one of its “diversity” officers over the weekend, after her series of scathing posts disparaging white people on her social media resurfaced. The Mail has the story.
The tweets by Kelisa Wing, an Army veteran and the current chief “diversity, equity and inclusion'” officer at the Department of Defense’s Education Activity office, were first reported last week, and have since come under federal scrutiny.
Fox News resurfaced the old posts, which use well-worn slang terms to mock white people include ‘Karen’ and ‘CAUdacity’ – a play on the word Caucasian – and were reportedly set to private after the outlet reached out for comment.
The account, along with the longtime DOD staffer’s LinkedIn profile, has since been deleted, now that the federal official’s tweets, posted over the course of several years, have become a subject of national concern.
Perhaps most troubling, though, is the fact that Wing, who was promoted to head of the Education office during the pandemic, oversees the education of Pentagon staffers’ children – including those of active duty service members.
“I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions,” Wing wrote on July 23rd 2020, disparaging an unnamed woman at a federal meeting.
“[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too,” the post continues. “I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS.”
Wing, who is African-American, then adds, “We are not the majority, we don’t have power.”
Wing has worked at the DoD for 16 years and was promoted to DEI chief in December 2021. Her office oversees schooling for children of Pentagon employees as well as those deployed overseas in the military.
The slew of anti-white posts present in Wing’s social media seem to cut out around the time of her promotion, but the posts penned before she landed the role remained, and were reported by Fox News early last week.
A spokesperson at DoD has since revealed that the agency is now aware of the posts, and is now “reviewing” the matter.
“We are aware of news reports concerning an official at DoDEA,” Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman said in a statement Friday, confirming that the internal investigation was already underway.
Some of Wing’s tweets include:
- “[B]eing antiracist means being active against racism… you will NEVER arrive… stop centring this on whiteness.”
- Wing responded to a user who said, “I am exhausted by 99% of the white men in education and 95% of the white women. Where can I get a break from white nonsense for a while?” Wing responded, “If another Karen tells me about her feelings… I might lose it…”

The Face of the Clown otherwise known as the son of the Toolmaker . Give this man a problem to solve and he can be guaranteed to make the wrong decision .
The problem isn’t so much finding solutions to problems, it’s their continuous looking for problems for their chosen final solutions.
Just what I was about to say, effectively… To every solution there is a problem!
Does anyone else remember that a fool or incompetent person used to be known as “a tool”. I remember it in my youth in the 1950s. So when TTK tells us his father was a tool maker he says more than he would wish to do.

“if you want a picture of Britain’s future, imagine a clown shoe stamping on a human face – for ever.”
Needs to enter the lexicon of standard quotes – quite superb.
Beat me to it – a sublime paraphrasing!
It is certainly true that the current Labour government consists of a unique cohort of exceptionally dim individuals:
The Toolmaker’s Son,
The Mastermind,
The Ginger Slapper,
The Halifax tea lady,
The Loud Hair Dye.
They are not all dim, but they do march to a different honk.
They are dim, but then you don’t need to be 140IQ to follow instructions from the WEF, do you.
Like the IHT on family farms. Its not a clumsy effort to raise more tax money, its a calculated attempt to destroying family farming. As soon as you realise, put your hand up…
And with them a key component of England’s economic, social and cultural fabric.
They’ve destroyed heavy industry and mining which also were key elements.
They’ve destroyed the CoE.
They’re destroying education and the younger generations are growing up essentially feral.
Is it really a coincidence? Or enemy action?
And what must WE do to our enemies?
By whom, I mean Westminster, not putin.
The first launch of icbms ever!
Come on Munroe, you thrive on this!
Then there is the Tommy Robinson case. Why would a man be willing to go to jail for maintaining his film statements and those of his court witnesses, all of whom were called liars by the judge.
It’s turning out not to be so funny for the ordinary people who are currently in jail for long terms just for saying things many of us agree with, but which the communist police, judiciary and MPs think is beyond the pale?
It’s not funny. And a monkey, randomly and incompetently pulling the levers of power, can still cause great mayhem and armageddon. These communist scum must be politically destroyed. And there must be a reckoning on rhe way our society has become so totalitarian. The various Laws that enable any government to become despotic about people’s speech and thoughts, must be repealed. We have to go back to the basics only. You have no right to be protected from speech and ideas you do not like.
When my younger son and I visited Glastonbury (town) during the Covid Tyranny (for want of something better to do) his comment was “I suppose at least it’s useful to have all the nutters in one place.”
Unfortunately, we seem to have the same problem in Westminster.
The lowest common denominator underpinning almost every single one of Starmer’s budget policies has been the socialist drive to eradicate freedom of enterprise and to move the means of production into the state’s hands at the behest of large corporations. So far this has been proven to be so in Education, manufacturing, energy, and now farming.
“… to move the means of production into the state’s hands at the behest of large corporations.”
That’s Fascism not Socialism but the outcome is the same – central economic planning control.
Yes but do we really want incompetents, too stupid to know which levers and buttons to push in command of the ship or passenger plane as the rocks or mountain side approach?
Foreign intelligence agencies have rightfully concluded that the British are in a difficult and painful situation which cannot be resolved without outside help. Just admit it in your heart if you feel that this is truly the case. Vacuums don’t stay empty for long.
