Did you know FDR mistreated Jesse Owens?

[gipper]

A little known story...I wonder why....

The more one learns about the Left's greatest hero, he comes up lacking in a big way. FDR the racist...now you know the rest of the story.

Jesse Owens: "Character Makes the Difference When It's Close"
Back home, ticker tape parades feted Owens in New York City and Cleveland. Hundreds of thousands of Americans came out to cheer him. Letters, phone calls, and telegrams streamed in from around the world to congratulate him. From one important man, however, no word of recognition ever came. As Owens later put it, “Hitler didn’t snub me; it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send a telegram.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, leader of a major political party with deep roots in racism, couldn’t bring himself to utter a word of support, which may have been a factor in Owens’s decision to campaign for Republican Alf Landon in the 1936 presidential election. FDR invited all the white US Olympians to the White House, but not Jesse.

“It all goes so fast, and character makes the difference when it’s close,” Owens once said about athletic competition. He could have taught FDR a few lessons in character, but the president never gave him the chance. Owens wouldn’t be invited to the White House for almost 20 years — not until Dwight Eisenhower named him “Ambassador of Sports” in 1955.

Lightyears better than republican hero Jefferson Davis

Jesse Owens didn't need FDR but all those poor people black and white did need FDR, FDR also had to contend with the Solid South and he needed their votes for his programs. Eleanor was FDR's big gun in race relations.

Pull down anything with his name on it and erase him from history

Be hard to erase FDR from history. Historians have never rated FDR below third best president and in their last poll rated FDR best president in our history,

I wonder if the OP realizes that during FDR's time, black people generally didn't receive much in the way of positive attention.

Shoot............even the Tuskegee Airmen had a hard time at first getting the white pilots to accept them, even though they had one of the best records as a squadron during WWII.

What a surprise from the arrogant, dishonest, incompetent, scumbag, concentration camp criminal, stalinist useful fool, racist, adulterer.

Is this a lame attempt at justifying FDR's racist actions? Clearly it is. However, if he were an R, libs and progs would be screaming from the mountain tops "off with his head!!!" Hypocrites.

FDR was nothing if not controlled 100% by politics. He knew his base in the South that the D party controlled with an iron fist, would not like him inviting Jesse to the WH. Jesse wins big at the Olympics and your hero FDR disses him, but does invite all the white athletes to the WH.

You must be so proud.

When black people discovered FDR had not invited Owens to the White House they surely no longer voted for FDR, and probably never voted Democratic again.

You dupe...they were never told of FDR's overt racism, because the media refused to inform them...just as they have duped you about FDR.

One would think you would learn you have been lied to by the state and their historians, but you never learn.

FDR was a pro-slavery asshole who enslaved young people and used them as cannon fodder. Hundreds of thousands Americans were killed after he drew the USA into WWII.

FDR, Hitler and Stalin are the trilogy of evil.

There it is, same old fallacy again.

Can you imagine the social backlash FDR would have had to contend with had he treated Jesse like a white guy?
It was bad enough what they called Eleanor when helping poor blacks...

You are aware that Davis was a Democrat ?

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

The good old days when Democrats where open with their racism.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Yeah, but FDR mistreating blacks and sending refugees back to NAZI Germany was OK.
FDR was a Democrat.

 

[Unkotare]

Yeah, but FDR mistreating blacks and sending refugees back to NAZI Germany was OK.
FDR was a Democrat.

Don't forget his concentration camps right here in the US.

Least we forget FDR rounding up all Americans with slanted eyes and tossing them into concentration camps.
No wonder the left love him.
