  Everything you wrote is wrong. Sorry, but I can’t say it any other way.

  First, being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era. FDR having Black combat troops was a hugely controversial idea. People knew what Churchill had done in India.

  Read ‘The Autobiography of Malcom X.’ There were plenty of Black Americans who believed that the system was perfect. Plenty of colonized peoples thought that ‘the Mother Country’ had done them a favor by civilizing them.

      Your first line is “Western leadership didn’t tweet their every racist thought to the public.”

      My first line was “… being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era.”

      In what world is that me agreeing with you?

      Also, at this moment I see your comment is -9 and mine is +24 points. I only mention to show that not many people agree with your interpretation of the facts.
