Reply #7: I have a friend (black) who was wounded severely and discharged [View All]

with 30% disability while others in his same group with less severe wounds (white) were given 80%. I bet if a study were done on disabilty discharges for comparable injuries, blacks would be far far less than their white counter parts.

I heard a program tho other day about a book titled "The Black Holocaust" which gives the history never told about the role that blacks played in freeing concentration camp survivors as well as the differences in the kind of assignments that black liberators were given compared to whites. I intend to purchase that book...I just couldn not believe how much history is purposely withheld from us. But one stark statement from that program was made about the fact that some returning black soldiers were lynched in the south in their ARMY UNIFORMS!! I broke down and cried...I still think about it, even though it was a radio talk show and I could see no pictures.

This is the America we still live in.
