I agree with you… the way the Harlem Hellfighters were treated during World War I, followed by our reluctance to honor them afterward was representative of a few—not the many. Thanks for posting.

Not all just by “the color of his skin,” either, as most Veterans from that War were mistreated by the Government and held in disdain by the isolationists. I disagree with Obama’s blanket statement, “who went uncelebrated because America judged them by the color of their skin.” Stop vilifying all of America. Racism was an affliction not practiced by all Americans, nor was it indicative of America.
