A good example of why the youtube comments section are the WOAT
All that stuff is true though.
Eisenhower didn't even congratulate him.
Remember, I am not a politician, but remember that the President did not send me a message of congratulations because people said, he was too busy."[33] Later, on October 15, 1936 Owens repeated this allegation when he addressed an audience of African Americans at a Republican rally in Kansas City remarking that "Hitler didn't snub me – it was our president who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."[34] [35]
He was treated better in Germany than the US. Even after he won his Gold medals, he still had to come back to segregation.
Even black soldiers coming back from the war who were decorated, were treated like shyt in the South. White trash talking about "I don't care how many metals you have, you still a nikka"
All facts.
owens and his achievements this was the first black biopic i wished ill upon. They need to either put these films in black hands or cool off on it for awhile because with each passing one they are getting worse. I hear the cat playing jessie Owens gets outshone by most of the cast not surprising when you choose a short actor with a weak voice to play such an iconic American figure
Well damn, you are right. I meant Roosevelt.
