Social media algorithms have completely dociled black people, 5-10 years ago this would be major news
There was so much activism during Trump's first term. It seems like after the George Floyd protests, COVID, and Biden's failed presidency the wind was knocked out of us. Plus within a span of 5 years, social media (especially with Elon's purchase of Twitter) has really entrapped so many of us into our own bubbles. Some of us are on the FBA/ADOS wave, some of us are on the Redpill/Manosphere wave, some of us are on the divestor/gender war wave, some of us are on the conspiratoral wave etc. All of which I'm convinced were/are psyop operations. The end result is us being impotent as a people because there's no shared reality.

This Army base was renamed for 2 Black Army pioneers. Then the name changed back.

Jul 25, 2025
Fort Gregg-Adams was renamed three years ago to honor two Black Army pioneers but in July, the name was changed back to Fort Lee.

President Trump restored the names of nine Army bases the Biden administration renamed in 2022. The $39 million Biden-era project was part of a Congressional mandate to remove all Confederate symbols from military installations. Trump’s move will restore the original base names, but with new namesakes. Fort Gregg- Adams was one of those that was renamed three years ago and was the first Army installation named to honor Black Americans.

Charity Adams was the first black woman to become an officer in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), later known as the Women’s Army Corps (WAC). She commanded the 6 Triple 8 Central Postal Directory Battalion and rose to be the highest ranking.

Lt. Gen. Arthur James Gregg was the Army’s first Black 3 star General. He eventually finished his career as the director of all Army logistic operations around the world.

While Gregg-Adams no longer appears on base signs, the children spoke to PBS News to share their parents’ accomplishments and their hopes for their memories to live on.
