Despite the street trash you see on TV!!
I can tell you that most blacks are just trying to get through this crazy world like anyone else
I can attest that I meet many nice ones at work
People are people. There are good ones, bad ones and trash in all races. The problem some black people have today is that they believe the propaganda the liberals have been feeding them ever since LBJ and his racist buddies started his “great society” that was responsible for the destruction of the black family dynamic. Now instead of the vibrant and growing black middle class of post WWII, you have a few very rich black entertainers and sports players, many thousands of educated and successful black professionals. All of whom have moved into the white suburbs and bastions of the wealthy instead of improving the neighborhoods they grew up in. The average remaining inner city black is poorly educated and poor largely because he or she thinks that being educated and well-spoken is being anti-black. The key to succeeding in America has always been education, that’s why black immigrants universally scorn African-Americans for wasting the opportunities that the African-American’s ancestors fought and died for right alongside the whites, Latinos, native Americans and Asians in the revolution, War of 1812,civil war, WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
Over twelve-hundred thousand African Americans in WW2 were sent overseas. It was observed that most black soldiers were appointed the task of serving as truck drivers and as stevedores during the war. As mentioned earlier the military maintained a racially segregated force, declaring black soldiers unfit for the combat. Therefore, they were kept from fighting in the front lines along with the white soldiers and given the support duties mostly .
In 1941, the civil right activists and leaders demanded their right to be treated as equal and given the same opportunities at battle fields as their white counterparts. This protest included demand to set up all-black combat unit.
In 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge , African American soldiers were allowed to be a part of combat unit which was previously consisted of all-whites. Surprisingly, over two thousand soldiers were sent to fight at the front lines on voluntary basis.

This decision is regarded as a crucial step toward the desegregation of American military. African American soldier fought with great valor and courage during the World War II sacrificing 708 of their soldiers in the combat.
Up until Wilson’s presidency, blacks fought alongside all other races in American wars with great valor. Skin color has nothing to do with character or bravery. Wilson was a bigot and racist.
When President Woodrow Wilson stood before Congress to ask for a formal declaration of war on April 2, 1917, his assertion that the world “must be made safe for democracy” resonated with African American communities as an opportunity to fight for their civil rights within the U.S. as part of a broader crusade to secure democracy for Europe.
Most young African American men were ready and willing to prove their patriotism and their mettle. Over 1 million registered for the draft, of which 370,000 were selected for service, and more than 200,000 were shipped off to Europe.
Despite a push by African American leaders for integrated units, black troops remained segregated, and the vast majority of these new soldiers were used for support and labor, rather than combat. While many young soldiers were probably disappointed to spend the war as truck drivers, stevedores, and laborers, their work was vital to the American effort.
The War Department did agree to train 1,200 black officers at a special camp in Des Moines, Iowa and a total of 1,350 African American officers were commissioned during the War. In the face of public pressure, the Army created two all-black combat units, the 92nd and 93rd Divisions.
African American troops fought at Champagne-Marne, Meuse-Argonne, Belleau Woods, Chateau-Thierry, and other major operations. The 92nd and 93rd sustained over 5,000 casualties, including 1,000 soldiers killed in action. The 93rd included two Medal of Honor recipients, 75 Distinguished Service crosses, and 527 French “Croix du Guerre” medals.
