I read the #1619Project, a lot of propaganda and also some hard truths.
The way black WWII veterans were treated when they returned home is an issue people should think about more, especially those who claim to support the troops.

Black veterans returned from WWII , were denied GI Bill and other benefits that they earned and were owned. Reparations for slavery is one issue, but denying veterans those benefits was a social wrong, and it’s an issue the country should make right.https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-tragic-forgotten-history-of-black-military-veterans …
Make it happen if true. This is easy.
How do they go about making it right?
Absolutely. If they served, pay the families back, with interest
I can support that. And I support helping black families build stronger communities. Let’s start with 2 parent families in all communities.
WW I. Same story. How can we make it right?
Well only the soldiers agreed, anyone else I don’t think so. Just make it Law and Policy practice to never do it again. Lots of benefits which descendants of soldiers from WW2 are denied all the time no matter the skin color.
I agree
Was thinking. 1945 was 74 years ago. And 74 years before 1945 was 1871.
Not a math exercise, but a reflection on change and how long it may take. Do we immerse our psyches in 1945, 1871, or 2019?
Let’s not permit the #NYTimes drag us back...and down. Just an observation.
This one would be easy too, there's a paper trail....find these veterans or their children and make it right
This is a wrong that we can and should make right. There will be records, direct descendants that can benefit and clear understand as to who was wrong (in this case the Department of Defense.) That is not the case for reparation because of slavery.
Amen to that
Agreed.
