White History - White U.S. President slave owners

8 U.S. Presidents were slave owners while they were President
12 of the first 18 U.S. Presidents were slave owners.

The last sitting U.S. President as slave owner was Zachary Taylor (1849-1850)
The last U.S. President slave owner was Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877)


Next: U.S. Presidents who actually spoke out against slavery, rather than looking
the other way or an occasional lip service remark ("discovered" years later)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


sadly, we still have racists (e.g. "tankfixer") here in usenet

Also a much larger percentage of free Blacks (28%) owned slaves that
did whites (1.4%). It was a status symbol.

Considering your desperate claim to have a PH.D. from your alleged

Especially those little "jokes" he used to tell.
And his removing many Blacks from Civil Service.
And, perhaps his efforts at Segregating the military.

The Military WAS segregated. It wasn't until Truman that the newly
formed Air Force started the ball rolling. The other branches followed.

For instance, a Negro (that was the term then) could only hold certain
jobs. Like on a ship, they held the Cooks jobs but didn't get to fire
the guns. The AF had it's own black fliers that excelled. But even
then, the COs and such were all white. 1947 changed things.

The bit about "didn't get to fire the guns" is demonstrably untrue.
You should do a little research before spouting the urban legends.

His Twisted Skew of history only serves his I Hate America Agenda!

African Americans have fought in every major conflict in which the
United States has been involved, from the Revolutionary War on. They
frequently served with distinction–the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer
Infantry during the American Civil War, the 9th and 10th U.S. Colored
Cavalry regiments during the Indian wars and the Spanish-American War,
and the 369th Infantry Regiment during World War I all established
outstanding fighting records.

You might wish to take a little closer look at history.
What changes did Wilson make to the military?
And then, to correct those changes, what did Truman do?
ANYWAY, given the blathering of the alleged "Ph.D.", please notice he
has not replied to the specific statements pertaining to Woodrow
Wilson.
As for Darryl Hunt, perhaps it would help if he would check out the
history of that time period.

Did a black man get a MoH for action on December 7, 1941?

Yep. There, however is at least one fucking loser who has x-posted
only to Urban Legends, about navy legends. Drinking torpedo fuel for
example. It was either denatured to keep sailors in a dry navy from
drinking it, or beverage grade to keep highly toxic methanol out of
the air in a submarine.

"For distinguished devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and disregard
for his own personal safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl
Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941.
While at the side of his Captain on the bridge, Miller, despite enemy
strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious fire, assisted in
moving his Captain, who had been mortally wounded, to a place of greater
safety, and later manned and operated a machine gun directed at enemy
Japanese attacking aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge."

This is not impossible, free black frequently purchased other members
of their family. A free black could be kidnapped, moved to the next
state and sold into slavery. Keep the child or woman a slave and
the kidnapper became a thief. Sheriffs ignored kidnappers of blacks
but thieves were arrested.
