Oh WHAAAAAAAA  While black soldiers had to whine about getting powdered
eggs, Jews in Germany were getting exterminated, so put that
"perspective" in your pipe and smoke it. While blacks were getting
stuck in logistics jobs instead of being sent to the front to die (oh,
the horror), jewish prisoners were being worked to death building V-2
rockets in cave factories. While black soldiers were risking court
martial for refusing to load or unload dangerous munition cargoes from
ships, jews refusing to work were summarily shot. By the time several
dozen black airmen became subjects in the Tuskegee syphyllis
experiments, millions of jews had been exterminated in a national
experiment in racial engineering. Got enough apples for THAT perspective?
