It means that they were exploited, yes The reason they were the most decorated unit isn't just that they were brave or competent - that's only half the equation for why people get medals The other half is they were consistently sent into harm's way because they were expendable

We’re all aware of the racism back then. Why do you keep on pointing out the obvious? Point is there’s historical precedent for Yang’s suggested approach and it can help.

It didn't help Did any of the wartime heroism actually give any of the interred families their land and money and jobs back? Do you think medals given decades late and reparations given later "helped"?

Lol right, MLK told people to gather en masse to pick up trash for white people and do daily acts of kindness and not inconvenience them in any way

We can argue about the meaning of this quote all day but the fact is MLK's version of "love" obviously included "moralizing", moral demands and moral condemnation, he wasn't Booker T Washington

Certainly sounds like you're uncomfortable with tension and prefer the negative peace of its absence

Replying to @arthur_affect @SimuLiu and
No, tension is par for the course but it has to be building towards something. Not just a meaningless tirade like you’re having now. You’re not building towards anything or articulating any actionable steps or plans for change. Like I said, the Bayard video will explain it.

Come back when you’re more than just an angry person. You gotta have a plan.
