You talk like that was last week. It was 60 years ago. All of that has been corrected.
Your post says that racial PC as a form of reparations is good.
True but compared to having one’s ass shot at by hard core Nazi’s and being told by some tin pot ticket puncher to swap seats are hardly comparable.
Civil rights heroes came later and are recognized as is proper.
My point is Fifty years from now are we going to make movies making heroes of every grannie or toddler who is forced to stripseach just to get on an airplane? or honor those who like Flight 93(IIRC) who took the extraordinary efforts to fight terrorism.
Make no doubt, I believe those veterans like the Tuskegee pilots and other black soldiers helped end the war against fascism and should be honored as such.
But so do other millions of unnamed veterans of various ethnic backgrounds with equal grievances who are content to know that they were part of the Greatest Generation and quietly accept their recognition as heroes simply as just soldiers who did their part.
Black vets Brown vets Red Yellow White.
The important word is vet.
And I fully expect Lee to overshadow that point.
