And Teddy Roosevelt was one of the least openly racist American presidents up until maybe JFK. Think about that.
So JFK was the 1st non racist president damn America took 35 presidents to have non racist leader bruh moment
Yeah, and I don’t know if I’d exactly call him non-racist.
How was he racist anyway
My impression has always been that his administration only championed civil rights in order to remove a powerful talking point from the Soviet Union, and to head off the appeal of communism among black Americans . He also kicked off that dumbass Apollo project – basically a dick-measuring contest with the communist bloc – which ended up pouring a lot of money that could have gone to improve race relations into a literal hole in the sky.
Manifest DestinyLebensraumThere was some us congressional report that said that Alexander Hamilton was one of the inspirers of fascism.
Edit: the report was called fascism in action
Woodrow Wilson was a real asshole. If I remember correctly, he was the one who gave Comrade Ho Chi Minh the cold shoulder when he expressed his interest about Vietnamese independence to him.
Woodrow Wilson…Ho Chi Minh? WW was World-War-1 era; the Vietnam war was in the 1960s
Yes. Uncle Ho was active in Vietnamese nationalist/independence movements long before the Vietnam War (The Second Indochina War).
“Minh found himself in Paris with further Vietnamese nationalists in 1919 around the time that Europe was sorting peace terms at the end of the First World War. It was one the 14 points pieced together by US President Woodrow Wilson which inspired Ho Chi Minh to lead his nation to freedom from the French colonial rule. Wilson wrote of how for Europe to rebuild it needed to focus on self-determination. Minh used Wilson’s visit to Paris to try and get the attention of the President to ask for support against the French colonial rule. He was ignored.”
USA propaganda is really impressive, so many people were willing to give them huge credit of trust.
