Who Really Snubbed Jesse Owens
by Erick D Tippett on Jan 08, 2013 03:51 AM

Well now, a great many truths are omitted in historical accounts in American and European
history the distant and not so distant. Many
will be surprised if they care to take a look
at the You Tube video presentation of actual
photos of Afro/German soldiers in service of
that country during the Second World War.
Many will no doubt be surprised to see the
video excerpts on You-Tube of the film which
the Germans have made titled \\\"Destined to
Witness\\\", Growing up Black in Nazi Germany, a
telling story based upon the biography of now
retired Managing Editor of the Ebony Magazine.
Many would have been surprised, as I was, to
read in a New York daily newspaper how,despite
his unctuous exhortations about equality Mr.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, their former state
governor and president of this country on a
number of occassions remarked how tired he was
of being bothered with \\\"niggers\\\" just to get
their votes!

Many no doubt will be surprised, if they visit
their local library and research or take a
casual browse of You-Tube or Wikipedia that in
a Germany that had black African patron saints
and Coats of Arms for some families and where
Martin Luther had written a handbook on how to
keep Jews in the \\\"Juden Gasse\\\" that a little
know money changer by the name of Amschel Meyer
Bauer (Bauerberg according to some sources)
spawned a litter of five sons who honored his
deathbed promise to him and got control of the

nicely written, good research, constructive criticism about DD Sports, and well-established 'scare' element about commie china begining next world-war (actually they don't need to start a war - they're winning an economic war). Keep it up, sir.

He presented facts not lies.

This snub of Jesse Owens was an invention of the Jewish press.

The real fact was that the 1936 Olympics were
an unmatched Nazi Success.

It is important to note that just 4 years before the Germans had won 3 Golds 12 Silver and 5 Bronze at the 1932 Los Angeles Games and stood 9th among the countries of the world behind Britain.

4 Years later, 3 years after Hitler was made Reich Chancellor, Germany won 33 gold medals 26 Silver 30 Bronze -> 89 in all, handily beating the 24 gold medals that fell to the United States (56 in all).

IT GOES TO SHOW WHAT THREE YEARS OF FANATICAL DEDICATION AND GOAL ORIENTED PROGRAMS can do for your countries Athletes.
