• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Tuskegee Airmen honored

There was a gentleman from Lafayette featured in the local paper who went. He was an aircraft mechanic with them in WWII. He said it was a bitter sweet trip. It brought back a lot of bad memories of how they were treated.

I am glad to live in a country that will recognize its errors and apologize while saying thanks to people who deserved more than they received. Slavery and the prejudicial mindset it created were great evils. They were sins for which we are still paying the consequences.
 
You have to REALLY LOVE YOUR COUNTRY to fight under circumstances like this...:medals:

"The airmen fought Adolf Hitler overseas and Jim Crow on American soil, being degraded as second-class citizens and watching as German prisoners of war were treated better than them."
