History
General Wallace was part of a meeting at the White House about Wakanda. He was angered that the isolated country had declared their sky as a no fly zone. Expressing his feelings in a declaration tainted of racism, and witnessing the silence of the assembly, he tried to apologize to the Secretary of State Dondi Reese, an African-American, who simply ask him to shut up.
Later during the meeting, expert Everett Ross exposed the history and defenses of Wakanda, to the mockery of Wallace, until Ross mentioned that even Captain America had been beaten by the Black Panther. At this time, Wallace lost his temper, assaulting Ross, and was quickly restrained and ejected from the meeting room on Reese's orders.[1]
