By that logic, no one should have supported racist America and colonist Britain against the Nazis.
i won't say i will "support" them per se, but i will tolerate them as long as they are fighting the nazis.
Damn you and your logic!
I've posted this a lot, and I'll post it again.
Read up on Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority. Back in the 1970s televangelist Falwell decided to get involved in GOP politics. He had a simple formula; he'd send his people to any local Republican event. If twenty people total had shown up the last time the club picked the new county clerk, Falwell would have fifty there. Those dogcatchers and justices of the peace were soon Congress members and Senators and governors.
Western leadership didn’t tweet their every racist thought to the public. If they knew back then, that Churchill had more in common with Hitler than even his own top military officials, he wouldn’t be as highly regarded as he is today
Everything you wrote is wrong. Sorry, but I can't say it any other way.
First, being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era. FDR having Black combat troops was a hugely controversial idea. People knew what Churchill had done in India.
Read 'The Autobiography of Malcom X.' There were plenty of Black Americans who believed that the system was perfect. Plenty of colonized peoples thought that 'the Mother Country' had done them a favor by civilizing them.
If everything I wrote was wrong, why are you literally agreeing with me?
Contrarianism is a disease
Your first line is "Western leadership didn’t tweet their every racist thought to the public."
My first line was "... being racist was the default position for any Western leader in that era."
In what world is that me agreeing with you?
Also, at this moment I see your comment is -9 and mine is +24 points. I only mention to show that not many people agree with your interpretation of the facts.
