Hitler getting up and leaving in disgust because Jesse Owens won (because of the belief that somebody black was more primitive - closer to a wild animal - and therefore hardly playing fair in competition with civilised humans) is an oft-told story though, lack of veracity notwithstanding. That was an - if not the - accepted version of events for decades.

My Grandmother, Martha Murdoch, who was Scottish, sat next to Jesse in class and used to help him with his school work. She said he was really nice. Jesse claims that he did shake Hitler's hand and had a photo. No one was interested in the truth. Jesse said he was treated more humanely in Berlin than in the USA. He made friends with a fellow German athlete and even made him his child's godfather.

@Martin England Nonsensical. Jesse suffered from some Jim Crow laws. However, it's utter nonsense to compare that with Nazi Germany. As a foreigner competing in the Olympics. He couldn't be harmed by the Nazi host nation. But had he lived in Germany during Nazi rule. He would have been killed just like Jews, Slave people, gypsies and others. Just check at the commentary in the Nazi films of captured French soldiers who were brought from African colonies. Disgusting to say the least. FDR snubbing of Jesse Owens was a mistake. Some Democrats asked for his endorsement, but he declined.

Comments like that paint an entirely different picture than what we were "taught" in our history books. These little interesting stories about the WWII Nazi's are really important historical facts (like the Black soldiers who served in the German military) that ziunist owned youtube has pretty much decided to bury. KZbin use to have hundreds of well researched historical videos exposing the truth about WWII topics, such as the Nazi treaty with ziunist leaders that conspired to have Ashkenaz relocated to Palestine.

The madness of the matter is that the German army flyer-bombed American-occupied areas with propaganda that brought Civil Rights to the minds of a lot of enlisted Black Men. Flyers aimed toward them stated how unfairly they would be treated back home, and that Black Veterans would only be given a soldier's welcome by their own kind, and wouldn't be appreciated for their sacrifices, which was true. It's sad to say that the Germans' own nonwhite regiments were treated objectively better by command than the US's top brass did with African Americans. It feels wrong saying that, especially with the propaganda against Jazz music, but the accounts of the Afro-Germans and Free Arabian Legions shouldn't be ignored.

The response was very polite, but if you understand British mannerisms, was essentially a curt 'fuck off'.

Hitler was a self-declared Socialist, with an economic policy somewhere between Socialist and Communist. The Nazis nationalised much of German industry and had tight reign over private enterprises - in fact, much like the current Chinese experiment, where a totalitarian government has final control over the economy but where private businesses are allowed to also flourish to generate much greater wealth than a purely communist system can. The difference is as a Workers' Socialist Party, in Nazi Germany the workers had much improved rights (and free medical care). Hope the Chinese improve the rights of their workers! In fact I wonder if the current Chinese government should be considered fascist/national socialist given it's state/private mix - there are also echoes of Hitler's disgusting anti-Semitic policies in the treatment of Uighurs/muslims in eastern China, including concentration camps for a million people - thankfully no death camps though, although even that mirrors the Nazis pre-wartime policies!

Britain has its own history of toxic racism. Why do Brits only talk about America's race issues. The British Empire's economic policies led to more deaths than the Third Reich and the USSR combined. Why not discuss that.

@@Kaiserbill99 Yes. I agree that there is a profound difference between deliberate murder and sloppiness and cultural indifference leading to murder. Britain, even in Ireland, was far more likely to be guilty of the latter. But there are plenty of cases that go the other way. I mainly rely on British historians for my British history. You might read "The Late Victorian Holocausts." Which deals with how British economic policies forced Indian farming away from practical anti-famine measures and toward disaster. I regret to say that most of my personal library is in storage because of bedbugs. So I cant get other texts right now.

So Trump now has an answer to his question about who in America was treated worse than him.
@stone1andonly6 жыл бұрын
I must admit, it sort of hurts to think on this matter. In America, many of us idolize FDR as perhaps having been the most progressive president in the history of our country. Republicans have spent every moment since FDR died trying to get rid of every reform he instituted (which Trump might just make happen if he's not stopped soon), and unsurprisingly, the country has suffered for it. I suppose it is possible that he reasoned that he would lose the support of key southern Democrats if he did so - ironic, considering that about two decades later, many of those Democratic Senators and Congressmen left anyway because of the Democratic Party's support of civil rights legislation. It was a remarkable mistake by a President who should have seen the potential chance at changing the racial divide in his country by embracing the one person who had best represented his nation. Jesse Owens deserved better. As much as America has shit on the Native American population, Jim Thorpe at least had a little better treatment socially. Granted, they (IOC) took his Olympic medals when they discovered he'd played some semi-pro sports for money, but Jim probably wasn't forced to sit in the back of a bus. Oh, and Jim could lay claim to something not all people could - he broke a President's leg. Dwight Eisenhower's, to be more precise. In a game played 22 years after the defeat of the Lakota and Sioux at the Battle of Wounded Knee, coach Pop Warner made a pregame speech that reminded his team that some of the fathers of the West Point cadets they were about to play had fought their fathers and grandfathers in the many conflicts between the NA nations and the US government. The result? Carlisle Indian School 27, Army 6. Considering that the service academies (Army & Navy, the AFA didn't have a football program until 1955) were among the toughest schools to play in collegiate football until the late 1970's, this score may still be considered one of the greater upsets in collegiate football history.
