Incident At Bamber Bridge

[The Duke]

Yes, Democrats kept blacks in supply trucks for WW2 because to them blacks were inferior. Their leader, A famous Democrat ensured racism thrived in the military.

Pretty sure it was Truman that fixed that. This is not my strong suit of subjects.

I was right, and it didn't happen until 1948.

England can't beat Russia. America will.

What was your point in discussing the Bamberg Bridge? Were you aware of the danger to blacks by Democrats?

When will America beat Russia, more to the point why would they want to?

 

[westwall]

Why the hell does any conversation come down to Biden and Trump or Dems and republicans? i hold no brief for Trump or anyone else, i judge people on what they do and that lunatic Biden has taken us to the brink of WW3, if Trump becomes President i will judge him on his actions, so far it doesn't look good because he is a Zionist.

Ummmmm, because Trump warned all of us that installing Joey bribem would likely result in WWIII, and you clods ignored him.

I'm merely pointing out that YOU are an idiot!

 

[westwall]

You still don't get it, Russia will win because they can't afford to lose or there will be no Russia, they faced the same threat from Hitler they couldn't afford to lose that one either, or the Napoleonic war, that should tell you something.

Yeah, Joey bribem basically said "go ahead and invade" I guess your tiny little brain can't remember that fact. And once pootin is backed into a corner it seems highly likely that he will indeed use nukes.

EXACTLY what Trump warned you about.

But YOU are too fucking stupid to figure out.

I hope your death is slow and miserable. You don't deserve a quick, merciful death.

 

[Mac-7]

Not at all. I simply am honest about my country.

It is the greatest nation on this Earth. But there are still flaws.

You’re a liar

You trash America to spite MAGAs

 

[Robert W]

The situation in England happened due to the orders of Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt. I have commented other times on his racism. Democrats fathered the Racism you talk of now. They created the KKK and they lynched blacks. My question is why American blacks vote for Democrats?

Sorry Sage but today you earned a fake news.

 

[Deadstick]

After all the U.S. sacrificed to liberate the ungrateful a-holes in Europe during WW2 we get accused of "vile racism" presumably by a vile racist. Here's tip dipshit, try finding a discussion forum in your own country.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, the people responsible for that incident WERE vile racists, own it.

 

[Deadstick]

Ummmmm, because Trump warned all of us that installing Joey bribem would likely result in WWIII, and you clods ignored him.

Where do you get that from? i didn't ignore him i agree with him.

 

[Robert W]

[WinterBorn]

You’re a liar

You trash America to spite MAGAs

Trash America? Boy, someone is triggered.

I do not back away from speaking about my country, whether it is to discuss good or bad.

 

[Mac-7]

Trash America? Boy, someone is triggered.

I do not back away from speaking about my country, whether it is to discuss good or bad.

Why?

You attack America for events a hundred or two hundred years ago

You connect MAGAs with pride in American history and that makes your knee jerk

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Sorry Sage but today you earned a fake news.

"Prejudice" Implies Insufficient Evidence

Behavior of Aframs since the Democrats became race traitors proves retroactively that there was nothing wrong with the Old Democrats' previous racial pride. So all these revelations are misjudged. Unlike today, Whites were only protecting themselves and the civilized society they created.

Racism is part of the survival instinct. For inferior races, it is part of the death wish. The future will decide the unevolved races' natural fate. If it doesn't, there will be no future worth living in.

 

[Foxfyre]

This incident took place only about twenty miles from where i live, some among the US army imported their vile racism into my Country in WW2, i am proud to say the locals of Bamber Bridge sent the racists packing and supported the Negro soldiers.

We all know there was illogical and cruel injustice in our nation's past. There is no nation on the face of the Earth that does not have parts of their history they are ashamed of. But people evolve, learn, repent, see things in new and better ways and change for the better. As did Americans. Most of the people who worked the hardest to end racial injustice were white and their efforts often cost them just as dearly as did most black civil rights leaders.

But the USA ended slavery as did most of the rest of the world in that same century. And the USA ended Jim Crow laws and all other formal injustices against black people. Most people living today have no memory of those laws but have enjoyed living in the most free nation in the world with the most protections against any forms of unjust discrimination. There is now no more racism in the USA than exists in most other developed countries or developing countries for that matter.

So yes, it is good to recall where we once were. But we should be celebrating when we are no longer as we once were in unacceptable things and appreciate how far we have come.

It is wrong, destructive, counter productive to use history to brand people now who had no part in that history and who do not in any way condone it. It is even more wrong, destructive, counter productive as well as stupid and unjust to expect people now who had no part in slavery or segregation to compensate black people now, most of whom have no memory of slavery or segregation. Even the few old enough to remember what Jim Crow was like have had 60 years of equal opportunity under the law to take advantage of opportunities opened to them.

For someone who has been wrong at every turn, you sure want to sound like you know why I post.


I did not attack America. I did bring up some history that some, like you, want to pretend never happened.

I don't connect MAGA pride with anything. I see people who are proud of their nation and proud to live there. Yes, some of those are MAGAs and some are not.

The war drums are beating very loud right now. The Danes are posturing.

With them will probably go Finland and Austria and Poland. Probably some of the Eastern-ish ones too.

Oh, she said a lot more than that from what I saw.

You're wrong about that, just ..breathe, bro.

What's described in the OP is not a nice thing, but it did happen.

It happened because of the CIC at the times' policy regarding the military, and the CIC was FDR.

You can't deny bad history, or else you'll end up making the same damn mistakes.

It wasn't "people", it was one dickhead NCO.

Yeah, right

Are you a history teacher, and do I get extra credit for this class?

 

[The Duke]

Well maybe the racist NCO had a problem with Jews as well.

Is/was Tony Bennet Jewish? I'm thinking not.

Fuck no he wasn't Jewish! He was a NY Paisan Wop!

Benedetto is NOT a Jewish last name.

In 1906, John had emigrated from Podargoni,[7] a rural eastern district of the southern Italian city of Reggio Calabria. Anna had been born in the U.S. shortly after her parents also emigrated from the Calabria region in 1899.

Tony Bennett - Wikipedia

Tony Bennet was Italian. First gen Italian American. There was a lot of that going around back then.

As if we didnt already know?

Libs rail about old history night and day around here as if it were only yesterdsy
