On this day 1943: Black US soldiers had to defend themselves from white US soldiers on British soil

[BrownBunny]

I knew about black soldiers being treated more favorably overseas than at home, but I never knew these white AMERICAN soldiers literally tried to start a battle with the black soldiers because of it

How do you know about this? The treatment that Black troops received overseas compared to how they were treated back home is what lit a fire under the civil rights movement. A lot of young Black men came back to states angry that the country they fought and died for considered them to be second class citizens and the realization that it did not have to be that way.

@surf go fukk yourself

Always knew of the mistreatment of Black soldiers back then but didn't know of specific instances like this. It just goes to show how deeply embedded racism was & still is

 

[TEKBEATZ]

[BigMoneyGrip]

American Cacs were essentially Nazis without the state manufactured extermination aspect

This black medic was part of the only black unit to land on D-Day and gave medical aid to over 300 people

American race relations inspired Apartheid South Africa and Hitler's Germany

Nothing ironic about that.

They were willing to die overseas for a country that hated them when not even their "brothers in arms" respected them, but i commend these black soldiers for their bravery.

So stupid u disrespect what they did then say u respect them


U pay taxes and cooperate with the economy of a country that don't give a fukk about

Those nazis blended into white society/supremacy & lived out their best lives. Some got exposed & the worst that happened was they were deported. Most were so old they died before seeing any charges or charges weren't even brought up against them because of that

What the hell is your problem you idiot

Even Nazi prisoners of war in Texas were shocked at how black people were treated in the South


Here’s a article you dumb fakkit


American field hands were painfully aware that white Americans treated Nazi prisoners far better than they did people of color. African Americans waited on POWs when they were transported in Pullman cars to their camps, and prisoners were also allowed to eat in whites-only cafeterias. At the camp, they were dealt the most menial jobs, including spraying the prisoners with delousing foam. The slights hurt all the more because African-American soldiers fought diligently during WWII in all-black units such as the renowned Tuskegee airmen.

Yet, on an individual level, they got along with the Germans. And Germans were fond of them, in part because African American soldiers had protected them from the mobs of people who wanted to kill the POWs.

Surprisingly, given the blatant racism of the Nazi party, some of the German soldiers were also shocked by the shoddy treatment of their fellow farmworkers. “The blacks…didn’t do much better than us,” "); background-size: 1px 1px; background-position: 0px calc(1em + 1px); background-repeat: repeat no-repeat;">remarked one POW. “They were just in front of the wire, and we were behind the wire.” Another German soldier, who was a farmer in his civilian life, noted that African American were expected to pick two to three more times the cotton required of the POWs. “You have to see how they lived,” "); background-size: 1px 1px; background-position: 0px calc(1em + 1px); background-repeat: repeat no-repeat;">he said after the war. “These people were so exploited.”

nikka stfu and fukk your random irrelevant article. We talking about your silly ass op that blacks were treated better in nazi fukking Germany. One of the main reason why the nazi party was started was because African soldiers from WW1 was smashing German women in the Rhineland. Nazi party took the children from those relationships(Rhineland b*stards) and forcefully sterilize them. Black people couldnt hold jobs or get into certain professions. Only reason the crimes against black people aren’t known as well was because of the overall low numbers in terms of population and the focus on Jews. But Himmler asked for a census in the end stages of the war which was surely indicative of a planned extermination. And do I need to bring up Jesse Owens.

Now here’s a relevant article from one of the those mixed breeds. Thank me for educating you fukking Canuck and stop dap fishing

I did know. I just didn't know about THIS particular incident where white soldiers tried to fight black soldiers because they didn't receive the same hateful treatment overseas as they did in America.
