I thought this article was really interesting.
Andy has done some Senegalese French soldiers as well as some Indian ones for the EA.
If the Free French releases continue maybe we could see some 1944 Senegalese

It's a shame that all the brave men and women who were not white did not get their just due due to political and racial polices.We talk about how the Nazis destroyed whole peoples but yet we treated them badly.Is it any wonder that non-white peoples distrust and resent us.

I agree with you in priciple, but at the same time, when are we going to quit constantly beating this horse and truly try to move on. As a teacher, I deal with this from both sides everyday. in the south, I have to remind white students of the atrocities and injustices that people of color and others went through, so they need to stop getting so up set everytime somone of color, mostly african american down here, feels slighted or wants equal treatment. While at the same time, I have to remind my African American students of the oppurtunities they have because of people who have paved the way for them , and that just because you are disadvantaged economically, you do not have the right to get upset or behave innapropriately in the name of "my rights", when in fact you are using that to just misbehave.
