African-American GIs of WWII: Fighting for democracy abroad and at home

[Superbadbrutha]

Until the 21st century, the contributions of African-American soldiers in World War II barely registered in America’s collective memory of that war.

The “tan soldiers,” as the black press affectionately called them, were also for the most part left out of the triumphant narrative of America’s “Greatest Generation.” In order to tell their story of helping defeat Nazi Germany in my 2010 book, “Breath of Freedom,” I had to conduct research in more than 40 different archives in the U.S. and Germany.

African-American GIs of WWII: Fighting for democracy abroad and at home

At a time when we are celebrating the 75th Anniversary of D Day, we can not forgot that many of America's black soldiers who served in that event and WWII as a whole are being left out of those celebrations.

Think of how they must have felt when they were fighting for someone else's liberation and freedom while they were being denied those precious gifts at home.

FDR Hated negros! He wouldn't even shake Jesse Owen's hand! Was he afraid of the black rubbing off??

Ok, so your point is what exactly?

 

[harmonica]

there were hundreds of thousands of white men that were not recognised
lot's of whites were not honored/remembered/etc
they did their duty--some died...some maimed for life
do you hear them complaining?

what you are yakking about IS whining
you are a racist

Those whites came home as heroes with good paying jobs and benefits

Black soldiers came home and were reminded to go to the back of the bus

bullshit !!!!!!!!! WRONG
.....thousands of whites came home from WW2 and were not given a parade/etc .....they went home and got on with life
good jobs/etc has nothing to do with it
....thousands committed acts of bravery that deserved the MOH/etc, that they never received [ I guess because they were white????!!!?? ]
.....thousands died saving their comrades and were never honored/etc

and then we have the WHITE Vietnam vets
No 'Welcome Home' parades for Vietnam vets.
and they were WHITE

.....here's the deal -hundreds of thousands of whites DID NOT CARE if they were honored or not
..as stated before, thousands of whites committed acts of bravery and did not care if they were honored or not.........
......read up on wars---they did what they had to do and came home

the whites were NOT doing it directly for [ white ] America !!!!!!
they were doing it to SURVIVE---for their buddies

 

[JimBowie1958]

And the list of Jews who financed the colonists is read everyday on CNN.

Ok and what does that have to do with black soldiers not being honored for their sacrifice in WWII?

They are veterans as well, are they not?

So when veterans are celebrated that also includes African American veterans as well, and female veterans, and white veterans, and gay veterans and oriental veterans, etc...….

Of course they are veterans, but they are not celebrated and honored in the same manner as their white counterparts. I am pretty sure you know that though.

How are they not celebrated the same?

 

[Wry Catcher]

we all already know what happened
and the racism they experienced
the Tuskegee airman being the most famous American warriors
but i know the white man probably won it on your backs( eyes rollin)

Maybe you ought to learn about racism during WW II. Sense you likely do not read history, if you have Netflix, watch, Chap. 3,

The War: A Film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick | Netflix

on the disgusting racism in Mobile, Alabama.

they weren't fighting for Democracy--they were fighting to survive--plain and simple

Bullshit

Blacks came back to Jim Crow

My mother told me things did not get better for related families for them until approximately early/mid 1950's. For my parents it was approximately 1960/1961 when things improved and their employment was not the top of the line blue collar jobs. We are white. Also in the late 1940's, the blue bloods, dem power holders in older cities started a movment to bring African Americans up North with promise of employment from manufacturing at the time. They got the jobs but the world retooled and the factories started to close down. That embittered some Black people. Anyway the Dems back then are the Progs of now. Nancy Pelosi's family was part of that back then in Baltimore and her family also has some mob connections. She really has lived a privileged life. Also, there were tensions between different white ethnic groups at that time period and it was not as rosy as you spout. I supported most of the agendas for African Americans. I do not support corruption and stealing and abusing the system. By anyone. Decade after decade of what we see in those neighborhoods need to address personal irresponsible actions. And this is me saying this who has screwed up also. If you are white, you seem to be a self hater. One that can not be trusted if the times become bad. Somehow I see a person like you ratting out another person over a slice of bread if it ever gets that far. To you it is White people bad and purveyors of evil....Black people good and innocent. And our nation pushes this insanity in everything.

Those black soldiers made the sacrifice so that Kap could use his right as an American to protest.

Indeed, but Kap is still a douchebag for doing it.

Kap fought for what he believed in

Cost him his career

Rightly so. Shitting on our country isnt a smart business move.

He didn’t shit on our country

He stood up for blacks who were being killed whose life didn’t matter

Yeah, and for some odd reason he thought shitting on our country would help. Maybe next he will try slapping kids or starting forest fires.

LOL, you needed to go back 100 years? I can go back to the election of 1948 when Truman integrated the military, and Strom Thurman in protest of Civil Rigths led the racists in the Democratic Party to vote against Truman.
