In the relatively recent past (1897), the bicycle was considered
suitable for military transportation. While not a race, but more an
endurance ride to demonstrate the effectiveness of bicycle transport,
the event was basically a military exercise. Whether they prayed
before starting their 1900 mile (3058 km) ride is unknown.

Hey, let's have none of that DEI stuff here. You're supposed to pretend
black people never existed. Like Jackie Robinson, for example.

But what we're seeing now is official actions to wipe out public access to information containing some "trigger words" using crude algorithms generated by glorified hackers working for an unelected billionaire. Seriously, we shouldn't read about the "Enola Gay" bomber? Changing URLs by automatically prefixing them with "dei" if the subjects of the web pages are black?
That's ignorant bullshit.
I had to go research that, but having done so I agree with you. Ill considered over reaction, and it ought to be reworked.
In the same way that killing white SA farmers because they are white is not a good resolution to the prior racism.
