They wouldn't let the black veterans take any advantage of that GI Bill that is a known fact
Some will prefer not telling the Americans black history. That's because it will reveal their history of evil. There will never be peace in America, until she do the right things!
Awesome story, imagine the amount of money that could be recovered and restored by Reparations!
America 🇺🇸 must right the Historical wrong
It's like black people always have to battle for the simplest things while white people just have it handed to them. We all call this land America don't we?
He don't look at color but they did
Thank you!
It's That time to R.I.P. for another 12 Months B.H.M. Good Riddance
PROVOCATION!!! Toxic chemicals delivered to Kramatorsk
◽In addition, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation received information that on 10 February 2023, a rail transport arrived in Ukraine (Kramatorsk) with a cargo of chemicals in one of its cars, accompanied by a group of foreign nationals.
◽The car was detached and towed to the territory of the Kuybyshev Iron and Steel Works in Kramatorsk, where it was unloaded under the control of the Security Service of Ukraine and the AFU command representatives.
◽The consignment consisted of 16 sealed metal boxes, eight of which were labelled with a chemical hazard symbol, BZ inscription and marked with two red bands, corresponding to the class of poisonous substances of temporary incapacitation action. Five of the boxes were labelled as 'C-S-RIOT', three were labelled as 'C-R-RIOT' with a single red band, which corresponds to substances with an irritant action.
◽The cargo was placed on the U.S.-manufactured armoured vehicles, which moved to the combat line of contact as part of the convoy.
◽On 19 February, 11 cars of specially marked shrapnel ammunition have been unloaded in Kramatorsk. The unloading took place at night on a platform in the suburbs, with the car labelled as 'Building materials', 'Cement'.
◽According to the information of the Russian Ministry of Defence, the U.S. Army has previously upgraded its shrapnel rounds to be loaded with ready-to-use, liquid formulated irritant acids.
◽The facts of the simultaneous delivery of toxic chemicals and protection means indicate an attempted large-scale provocation using the BZ psychotropic warfare agent during the conflict.

If they were denied, then they are owed pure and simple.
Fantastic video😊 regardless of the economic slump, I'm so happy I have been earning $ 40,000 returns from my portfolio income every 13days.
The us has so many problems but gives billions of tax payers money to a ukraine which is not even their business but can't solve simple problems in their own country what kind of government is this??
That denial is called WHITE POWER!
I hate what racism has done to America
White people will continue to ignore their sin against us to their own peril.
You expect anything from the white crusty Rusty old Republicans that are as racist as they come. We all Native indigenous people we owe black human beings and Asians. I don't understand where the white man gets off thinking they're the best since sliced bread. I think you'll find out they're the worst culprits of violence on this planet
Past overdue that this veteran is finally getting the recognition he should have gotten back in the day. WW2 black servicemen were initially denied the same weaponry and training as their white counterparts; instead, they were relegated to auxiliary roles, like weapons delivery companies. But, as the war would force upon the military, black servicemen came under hostile fire as much as their white counterparts had, and, so, were forced to use firearms that they were only supposed to deliver but not use. Stories of black soldiers coming under heavy fire as they came to the rescue of their white counterparts began to emerge. Not long after, it only made sense to give blacks full combat status on par with their white counterparts, while acknowledging their [supposedly "surprising"] courage. This notwithstanding, many Hollywood releases, documentaries and written material following the war tended to downplay the heroism of black servicemen.
Every time I hear of an elder of the black community pass on, I feel like a chunk of our history has as well. It would've been great to just be able to have listened to his stories. Thank you Mr Brooks, for your service. May you RIP.
I'm so tired of black people
We want multi-generational reparations from the federal government
Thank you for your service and sacrifice ❤️ you are loved, admired, and respected for everything that you did for so many people 🙏❤️🙏 RIP Mr Brooks 🙏 💙 ❤️
Showing love to the black community
