Hidden History

Buffalo Soldiers are the legendary African American fighters of the United States Army.
The above photo shows the legend at the hight of glory. The caption below this photo shows the racism that these men (and one woman) endured.

The Spanish-American war was the first war after the American Civil War that north and south fought as one unified nation. Because the Buffalo Soldiers had fought in the American Indian Wars they were the best fighters in the Spanish- American War and I believe that is the reason African Americans were banned from direct warfare in World War One and World War Two.

How can you enforce the racist Jim Crow laws if your best fighters are the focus of those laws?
You tell a big lie the next war you have and you keep the lie going through another war.
The military leaders and political leaders of WW1 and WW2 said African Americans weren't good fighters. They ignored the facts of the Spanish-American War and the American Indian Wars.
They made up their own history out of racist lies.

I wrote this because I wanted to comment on Barack Obama's close relationship with the
Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

There are plenty of unspoken truths about racism in our country without telling half-truth paranoid hate American rants.

I once worked for the headquarters of a church. I quit after two weeks because after every morning prayer the head of my department world say;

"Let's get to work God ******!"

You are known for the company you keep.
