OU.S. Removal of Panels Honoring Black Soldiers At WWII Cemetery In The Netherlands draws backlash

[Couchpotato]

Reading the article it says the panels were replaced by panels of a white soldier.
It also said that the panel about Pruitt was “rotated” out. The replacement panel features Leslie Loveland, a white soldier killed in Germany in 1945, who is buried at Margraten.

So it’s not honoring “black troops” it’s honoring individuals some of whom happen to be black. That makes sense.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Did I say that?

How the hell did you infer he meant otherwise?

I struck a nerve, odanny?

That your wife, or something?

If there was a display specifically honoring whites, I'm sure you'd bust out crying.

America's strength is in our unity, not in emphasizing our differences to divide us for political gain.

“Our country will be woke no longer,”

There is no such thing as ‘woke’ as misrepresented and lied about by conservatives.

Trump’s is a racist, bigoted, hateful regime.

MARGRATEN, Netherlands — Ever since a U.S. military cemetery in the southern Netherlands removed two displays recognizing Black troops who helped to liberate Europe from the Nazis, visitors have filled the guestbook with objections.

Some time in the spring, the American Battle Monuments Commission, the U.S. government agency responsible for maintaining memorial sites outside the United States, removed the panels from the visitors center at the American Cemetery in Margraten, the final resting place for roughly 8,300 U.S. soldiers, set in rolling hills near the border with Belgium and Germany.


The move came after President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “Our country will be woke no longer,” Trump said in an address to Congress in March.

African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Hispanic-Americans died defending our Democracy. Denying that history, will never, ever change that history. Just as Niece of the 442nd. Regimental Combat Team, one most decorated units in WWII.

Wow, now they act like it really sucks to be treated like everyone else.

 

[Correll]

That seems pretty uncool.

Emphasis on "seems".

 

[Correll]

Old debunked news, the panels were part of a moving monument and are now at another location
But whatever you all can do to deflect from the Epstein files

Figured there was a good reason for it. Leftards are always lying.

Never think that the intent was anything else except to divide us.

The left/Democrats/"not Democrats" don't care about the plight of "minorities." Look how quickly they abandoned blacks in favor of new voters coming across the border illegally and how quickly they abandoned women in favor of men who pretend to be women, or in some extreme cases actually believe that they are women.

What part of that is ok?

I agree

Dems hate trump more than they love America

 

[Rogue AI]

Why would we commemorate anyone but American service members? No distinctions are necessary. Putting everyone who made the ultimate sacrifice together. You know, actual equality. Is that not what minorities have been fighting for?

 

[IM2]

Its MSDNC. Take it with a grain of salt.

It's the truth.

So that means the white monuments come down too. But that's not what is happening now, is it?

 

[odanny]

People are upset that monuments specifically honor black veterans ignore that German POW's were often times treated better than black soldiers.

You've heard of Tony Bennett?

Benedetto stayed in Germany as part of the occupying force but was assigned to an informal Special Services band unit that would entertain nearby American forces. His dining with a black friend from high school—at a time when the Army was still racially segregated—led to his being demoted and reassigned to Graves Registration Service duties.Subsequently, he sang with the 314th Army Special Services Band under the stage name Joe Bari He played with many musicians who would have post-war careers.


He was in Germany and saw a black friend, and I heard him tell the story about some Master Sgt. from the south who saw this and started screaming at him and had him punished, and they took rank from him, for eating with his black friend from New York. That greatly upset him and he spoke of this frequently. This is why there are separate plaques and markers for black soldiers, it was never a level playing field. I don't hear the same complaints from many of you about the Windtalkers, who are honored for speaking their native language that the enemy could not decipher.

Those panels are rotated out because of of limited display space. They aren't on permanent display.

You idiots need to do more research.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

If it was a memorial display, why the hell would they need a replacement.

Because the displays are rotated out. You people are such idiots.

 

[Anarchy666]

It's the truth.

Here's the thing: if you can't go back and condemn past presidents for doing similar things, you just have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Period.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

I struck a nerve, odanny?

That your wife, or something?

If there was a display specifically honoring whites, I'm sure you'd bust out crying.

America's strength is in our unity, not in emphasizing our differences to divide us for political gain.

If emphasizing our differences is bad, then shouldn't be ANY display commorating black soldiers.

 

[Anarchy666]

So that means the white monuments come down too. But that's not what is happening now, is it?

Trump literally renamed the Kennedy Center the "Trump-Kennedy Center," how is that not tearing down a white monument? He's literally shitting all over the Kennedy family with this move, which are literally the whitest motherfuckers on the goddam planet.
