Great series so far. Mrs. Singer is superb (accent and all). There is no question that there was racism and racial disparity during the war and afterward. If Burns is going to dwell on that he should put it into perspective of how it affected the war effort. We already know such bad behavior existed. The number one aspect of WWII was the heroism of an entire generation, not their treatment of another race. Those that died did so for every man woman and child in the country. Whether they knew it or not.
Thanks for checking in.
Tonight is supposed to be D-Day (and more Pacific Theater island-hopping).
Burns has done a decent job with a ponderous constellation of subject.
(But, my inexpert feeling is he could have spent about one-half the
time he has on “those were the bad old days of America”.)
