My granddad also said there was a very strict discrimination policy. Black soldiers were over here, white soldiers were over there. The main interactions were with white officers telling them shyt. He said the only time the black and white soldiers had any type of real interaction was when they learned FDR had died. He said the entire camp busted out crying, blacks and whites.

My grandad talked a LOT of shyt about white people, and understandably so. The only white people I ever heard him always dap were FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt.

My grandad fought in WWII in the pacific. He said the Japanese would constantly plant propaganda throughout areas detailing civil rights abuses going on in the south and throughout the US, while offering freedom if black soldiers switched sides.

As much as I'd love to take their word for it I know it's bullshyt. The Japanese looked down as other races just as much as whites, their whole basic reasoning behind colonizing the Pacific was their racial superiority.
