This is one piece of evidence that shows black americans were getting special treatment in WW2. I suspect that technology changes, but people never change. If that is true, then blacks may have always gotten special treatment from whites. Was "cotton picking slavery" an affirmative action guest worker program for african agricultural workers? What did the "slave owners" of the time say about providing the best care they could for their black "slaves?" How much money was sent from white areas to fund black schools in the separate but equal era? Why were blacks whining? How many blacks today that benefit from affirmative action and preferential treatment from law enforcement claim they are slaves? (Watch the videos of cops dealing with white kids and black kids.) Why do blacks complain today about police brutality when they receive such preferential treatment? Technology changes. People do not change. A mammal's temperament is determined by its genetics, and humans are no exception.
