I looked through all the photographs published on the withoutsanctuary.org website and couldn’t find one of a Black man in uniform. Even so, I’m almost positive that I have seen such a photograph somewhere but it will take a stronger stomach than mine to wade through all the available photographs of lynchings. I stumbled across the withoutsanctuary site a few years back; it horrified me then and still does.
>Who the fuck would want to sit with the Nazis anyway?
Perhaps a more appropriate arrangement would be for American Vets to have the most desireable seats at (I suppose) the front, and non-Vet Americans could sit in the rear of the bus. The Nazi’s could sit immediately in front of the tires, on the pavement.
>If I’m black and on a bus with folks that have engaged in racist genocide in the past, I’d rather be sitting where I can see them at all times. All I’m saying…
Well, now that you mention it, that does seem like the wiser strategy.
>What I want to know is, what if there were Japanese POWs on the bus instead of Nazis? Would they still get to sit in the front?
Hard to say. At first, you might not think so, but then they did form a strategic partnership with Hitler built around the core principle of Aryan superiority. Politics can be so confusing sometimes.
Here’s one, but from the Un-Civil War.
I remember seeing a photo of WWII soldiers leaving a ship and signs directing them to “colored” and “white” buses. My Google Fu must be weak, however, 'cause I could not find it.
