ive read that a lot of black WWII soldiers were treated better in europe than they were back home, and it was a big part of why the civil rights campaign really got so much bigger between the 40s and the 60s. i can only imagine the rage of going to another country, fighting for your life, and coming back home and being treated like a second class citizen.

i wonder how the civil rights era would've gone without the second world war. probably a lot more slowly.

Do black people in America hunt down south and out in midwest like they used to?

They used to hunt and fish as much as anybody else. They used people with hunting experienced to train in counter sniper activity hunting enemy fighters in the bush.

I knew a guy form down south who said his grandfather taught him to make turtle soup
