Pentagon Considers Medal Of Honor For Black Soldier Who Singlehandedly Fought Off Dozens Of Germans

[frush11]

White soldiers used to tell Euros during the war that those Black Soldiers were gonna rape their women, and all types of wild shiit. They even used to make up shiit In their reports about Blacks being accused of rape, burglary, starting fights with locals, all of which were refuted by Euros

That's why I find it shameful that members of the 761st Tank battalion or 92nd division weren't properly recognized after WWII. 761st fought in the landing on Omaha beach but they're contributions have been totally relegated in the history books

Yeah, exactly. My grandfather didn't serve, but he knew plenty of people who did. He told me stories of how the white Americans would tell the Europeans about how blacks are animals and evil and even called us monkeys that had "long tails".

Little did those white boys know, those european women were interested in learning more about these "long tails". And that shyt backfired on em.

Like another poster said, that's why a lot of blacks either stayed or went over to Europe because at the time, it was the lesser of two evils.

Disgusting.

Put your life on the line for white supremacists brehs.

When blacks came home after the war, whites were prepared to "put them back in their place." Henry Murphy said that when he returned to the states and called his father in Mississippi, his father warned him not to come home with his uniform on. "He said that the police was beating black soldiers and searching them. If they had a picture of a white woman in his wallet, they'd kill him." Murphy returned home dressed as a sharecropper in a overalls and a jumper. Dabney Hammer, who came back to Mississippi wearing his war medals, encountered a white man in his home town of Clarksdale, Mississippi. "Oweee, look at them spangles on your chest. Glad you back. Let me tell you one thing don't you forget ... you're still a ******."

This happened after WW2.

never been to america and dont know much about america but is this brave soldier recognised within the black community or everyone is just waiting for him to be recognised by the government before everyone jumps on the bandwagon and he wins a BET award, maybe its time black folk quit complaining about acceptance and started recognising our heroes..in Africa we faced the same with tribalism until each tribe recognised their own heroes and we found other folks/tribes joined in or put aside differences to celebrate a worthy hero.

Came in just to mention this.

Heard stories about Black American soldiers in France during WWII... The French soldiers/locals were caught staring at their asses... When the French were asked why they were doing this, they were told that all American black folks had tails like dogs. And guess who spread this rumor (and ones like it).

The fukk they waiting for? Even Roosevelt was like breh is the bravest soldier ever.

World War II and black America at that time. Reminds me of this quote from Malcolm X, now I am sure was the press, but the press was like name two white guys you think helped Black Americans, without missing a beat, Malcolm was like "Hitler and Stalin". With them and World War 2, with all the white men leaving for battle, it was the only way black men in could get decent factory jobs, and earn a somewhat good wage for an extended period of time. Before the war, the only type of employment a black man could get was a share cropper or porter, but would still face discrimination for those jobs in the south.
