Ever since a U.S. military cemetery in the southern Netherlands removed two displays recognizing Black troops who helped to liberate Europe from the Nazis, visitors have filled the guestbook with objections.
Sometime in the spring, the American Battle Monuments Commission, the U.S. government agency responsible for maintaining memorial sites outside of the United States, removed the panels from the visitors center at the American Cemetery in Margraten, the final resting place for roughly 8,300 U.S. soldiers, set in rolling hills near the border with Belgium and Germany.
Black troops? Is this some kind of military term or simply dark-skinned people? If the second, then it is unreasonable racism.
Yes, just black skinned American soldiers who were sent to fight even though they didn’t have rights at home.
Amazing. I was thinking that racism in the USA is going down, but it seems like it only goes up again.
