A United States Air Force investigation found that a black airman of the 56th Fighter Wing stationed at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, faked racist messages from his supervisor.
The black senior airman apparently invented an exchange with a white technical sergeant, whom he accused of denying him a special duty assignment on the basis of his skin color, Task & Purpose reported.
The airman made the race-based allegations after posting the alleged text exchange to the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page, according to the Air Force Times.
“We won’t be sending your name up for [redacted] at the squadron,” the screenshot of the text message read, according to the outlet. “You currently have a shaving waiver which isn’t a professional image.”
“I think the Air Force is looking for somebody of white complexion and with the image that the Air Force needs,” he continued in the screenshot. (RELATED: British Royal Airforce Disputes Report That It Halted Hiring White People In Attempt To Meet Diversity Quota)
After a five-month “exhaustive investigation, authorities determined that the statements published did not occur and the text messages were fake,” Luke Base spokesman Sean Clements told the Military Times Tuesday.

He now faces Uniform Code of Military Justice punishment, Clements said, according to the outlet.
The military has allegedly been in disarray as they allow increasingly “woke” policies such as diversity quotas, refusing religious exemptions, and teaching critical race theory at military institutions into their ranks. This agenda has opened a recruitment vacuum, as the military struggles to fill positions.
