Damn I didn't know America dedicated a lot of WWII propaganda towards AAs

[Trajan]

Cacs know they've done some unspeakable things and are always weary of the get back . I came across these images whilst looking into some WWII ish and thought I'd share with the Root.

Alston became staff artist at the Office of War Information and Public Relations in 1940, creating drawings of notable African Americans. These images were used in over 200 black newspapers across the country by the government to "foster goodwill with the black citizenry."

I.e the potential fifth column I have to give it to cacs tho. They know where their weaknesses and vulnerabilities lie. Soon as they go to war abroad they keep an eye on non-whites at home e.g Japanese internment camps.

Most of these drawings neglect the continued reality of discrimination African Americans experienced on a daily basis and portray an American war consensus indiscriminate of skin color. As a consequence, some of the black press, notably the Chicago Defender, did not print Alston’s OWI drawings but preferred to feature more critical art throughout World War II.

they gave them the pacspit treatment


Edit:

The following ones are much more blatant but I couldn't embed them which is I just gave the link a few posts up. Read the captions underneath the pics to get further context.

My grandad fought in WWII in the pacific. He said the Japanese would constantly plant propaganda throughout areas detailing civil rights abuses going on in the south and throughout the US, while offering freedom if black soldiers switched sides.
