“If you read the American magazines and newspapers in 1941, it’s amazing how the Japanese were considered a funny, curious people, who were technologically inept. They were supposedly physiologically incapable of being good aviators because they lacked a sense of balance and their eyes were not right. It was even believed that the Japanese were bad pilots because, as babies, they would be carried on the backs of their big sisters and got bounced around, so their inner ear was knocked askew.”
“Interesting how people argue what is patriotism… That people are being un-American… Un-American for challenging the discrepancies in this thing “they” call Equality.
So, isn’t it un-American to wave a flag of the Nazi Iron Cross?
Isn’t it un-American to dishonor our fallen soldiers, and surviving vets, that fought in WWII, by displaying that enemy flag while demanding we put “America first”?
Isn’t it un-American to place oppressive restrictions on citizens, and on anyone, who are living or pursing the American Dream?
Isn’t it un-American to deny a child certain liberties based on someone else’s religious beliefs?
Isn’t it un-American to deny the press access because journalists want to report to America the truth?
Isn’t it un-American to make it harder for voters to vote?
Let me tell you this….
As a black man, born in the USA, I have seen that things above to be the American Way. That is the sad thing.
Someone is gonna call me un-American for posing these question… The most patriotic thing I can do is to ask, to challenge, to assemble, to protest, to fight back.
