African-American GIs of WWII: Fighting for democracy abroad and at home

[theHawk]

Until the 21st century, the contributions of African-American soldiers in World War II barely registered in America’s collective memory of that war.

The “tan soldiers,” as the black press affectionately called them, were also for the most part left out of the triumphant narrative of America’s “Greatest Generation.” In order to tell their story of helping defeat Nazi Germany in my 2010 book, “Breath of Freedom,” I had to conduct research in more than 40 different archives in the U.S. and Germany.

African-American GIs of WWII: Fighting for democracy abroad and at home

At a time when we are celebrating the 75th Anniversary of D Day, we can not forgot that many of America's black soldiers who served in that event and WWII as a whole are being left out of those celebrations.

Think of how they must have felt when they were fighting for someone else's liberation and freedom while they were being denied those precious gifts at home.

How many black soldiers died in battle compared to whites?

As it has been shown that White Soldiers bore the brunt of the battle during WWII and thus won the war protecting America from the likes of Nazi Germany and Japan and this protection afforded by our victory in WWII thus extended to the protection of the Negro Race in America..........can the ungrateful Negroes possibly imagine what their fate would have been if our White Soldiers had not won that war?

Obviously not as they 'the so called African-Americans' have never acknowledged their debt of gratitude to them...quite to the contrary they have dishonored them by calling them racists etc. t and now to add insult to injury the blacks claim they have not been honored for participating in WWII...how much honor do they deserve?

Only 708 blacks were killed during WWII compared to 480,000 thousand White Soldiers....let us give honor to those who deserve it.

Not even to mention the Civil War where 600,000 whites died in a war that allowed the blacks to go free. Has any prominent Negroid politician ever expressed his thanks to whites for that? Of course not. It is time for the Negro community to honor those who gave their all in that War to free the Negro Slaves.

Such hypocrisy as we see in this thread coming from ignorant negroes and stupid liberals is quite disgusting.

600,000 whites died because our country was too bigoted to give up slavery without a civil war

Yea, Democrats who cared more about corporate profits than the well being of the country. Sound familiar?

708 black military men died on the American side of WWII. There were over 400,000 total combat deaths for America during the war.

That is 0.16%

A higher percentage of African American soldiers spent the war shoveling shit in Louisiana instead of marching in the 3rd Army with Patton. A lot less hazardous.

They talk about the Tuskegee Airman a lot, but that was just a small unit. A lot more of the black guys served with the Shreveport Shit Shovelers.

hehheh Yet they claim they deserve to be honored...have you ever seen any blacks praise white men for winning WWII or for the 600,000 who died in the Civil War which enabled them to leave slavery behind.

Blacks are all about themselves what the white man can do for them...their sense of entitlement is ridiiculous...based on their ancestors period of enslavement. Yet many forget white americans were also enslaved during the colonial era.

Not even to mention the so called indentured servant program wherein many of our ancestors agreed to work for a master for 7yrs in order to get passage to America....essentially they were slaves at the mercy of their master....some of the masters were good others were not and took advantage of their servants, abused them and kept them enslaved to their deaths.

Looks like “SuperbadBrutha” isn’t so super bad.

He doesn’t like it when identity politics is turned around on him.

Don’t worry Superbad-boi, we’ll give you the 0.16% respect you deserve.

Soldiers do the task they are assigned. If a black unit was assigned to build a highway in Alaska ( and they were btw) they can hardly be blamed for not being on Iwo Jima.

Reading this thread it is clear that some Americans have not evolved since the War Black GIs fought to protect a system that treated them as sub human. Baffling.

Reading this thread it is clear we have not moved on much from our racist past

The thread got a lot worse.

Yea, it got a lot “worse” for identity politics losers by pointing out statistical facts that destroy the OP’s premise that blacks don’t get enough cred for WWII.

They deserve cred for fighting for a country that treated them as sub human. Why on earth would you risk your life for trash like yourself ?

Funny how none of them ever leave for dere mudderland especially since the evil whites been so mean to them. hehheh

As has been well demostrated very,very few of them were engaged in combat durring WWII.....the great majority were service workers...far behind the front lines and very safe.....as has also been shown only 708 of them were killed in WWII compared to over 400,000 White America Soldiers who were killed during WWII .

Yet the blacks holler for more respect.....how much respect have they ever shown for all those White Soldiers?

How much respect have they shown for the 600,000 whites who died in the civil war thus releasing the negroe from slavery?

Who is blaming them? The problem we see here is that they want to be praised and honored for something they did not do very much of...in fact very little of aka fight for Ameica....some of them (very few)did volunteer for combat aka the tuskeegee airmen...but that was just a handfull...very small group

hence only 708 blacks were killed in WWII ....what they need to do is to honor those white soldiers who actually fought and won WWII. Thus not allowing the Japs and Hitler to get their hands on da negroes in America....can the negroes even grasp what would have been their fate if the Nazis and Japs had won WWII?

Myself, I'm a conservative and was against FDR's decision to field a Jim Crow Army at all during WWII.

They should not have been put in the armed forces...they could have been designated service workers...which is what the great majority of them did in the rear echelons far from combat or the dangers of combat...that is what the nature of their service amounted to...not saying they should not get credit for their work...but when they start claiming they deserve to be honored for fighting for America...then the truth must be told...very,very few of them did any fighting...those who actually did like the tuskeegee pilots deserve honor and respect.
