Ive readed some stuff that on the olympics of 1936 the americans despised black athlets like Jesse owens but the germans did not really care and even cheeared him a lot when he winned the medals, is that true?
Edit: Just to clarify, ive watched an movie on class today about jesse owens and the 1936 olyimpics, i got curious and searched a little about it, and there was stuff saying that the german audience did not at all shunned the black athlets during the olyimpics, with was something very common in the US. I would like to know if its true or not.
If Nazis racist towards Jews and Roma, what would be the justification for thinking they had a soft spot for black people? I also did not know racism came in degrees except in liberal circles.
I also did write on my coment about the 1936 olympics stuff that i wanted to clarify. Jesse owens himself critisized the US because even nazi germany treated him less worse then his own country. I dont trust the info on the front page of the internet, so i asked here because i trust this place.
