I grew up in the 60's and 70's mostly in apartment complexes in the suburbs of NYC. Our group of friends never saw the color of each other's skin, we were just friends and we played, rode bicycles, went to the movies, had sleepovers, had dinners at each others homes, etc. It never mattered that we were different skin colors or ethnicities. Black, White, Hispanic and Asian, we were just friends to each other. We were young and really didn't know otherwise of the outside world of racism - the way it ought to be! It was no wonder our friendships made our parents smile. It is the way the world should have always been and should always be.

-They didn't change the training standards, and that was a plus for us. - There is a lesson in that. (1: 22) This should be considered as we consider education standards around the country. My dad was in WW2, in the Army, and later the Air Corps. Those guys, of any race, were the best and they saved the western world from fascism. The free world owes a debt of gratitude to the Tuskegee Airmen.

These men are some of the FINEST HONORABLE MEN that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! Broke through a stereo type and became the mighty right hand of GOD sweeping through the axis poweres like a whirlwind decimating the landscape! These men didn't burn cities and towns and loot and ask for welfare and affordable housing. They went out and earned their respect! God speed Redtails!

I'll tell you who they were. they were freaking heroes! All of them. Some of the bravest men this country has ever produced. They not only had to fight a relentless enemy, but endure an ungrateful country at the same time. It's a shame that we're all not as dedicated as Americans.

I went threw grade and high school and they never spoke of these guys. Not until I read Gordon Park-s -A Choice of Weapons- and he talked about one of his photography assignments being to photograph these guys did I learn about their existence!

They served above and beyond! What has me curious is one, when did the Luftwaffe first learn about the airmen, and second, the individual German pilot's reactions when they discovered the pilots that shot them down were black?

To be ostracized and still be the best air regiment during ww2. These guys were legends! We should eradicate all those racist confederate statues all across the south. Then replace them with statues of the great Tuskegee.

1: 08 An experiment? No, THAT was when the government gave all those people syphilis without informed consent. I'm gonna need a citation from your source that ever referred to this training as an -experiment. -

I met one of these black pilots about 10 years ago when his wife, my wife, and I were all volunteers at Doctors Hospital in Florida. It was an honor I will always remember!

As a part of that history, it must be said that integration was already happening in the government and military and along came Woodrow Wilson. A southern Democrat.

-All men are created equal-. So says the Declaration of Independence. I can't believe it took so long for the US government to give blacks a chance to fight.

I am grateful for each one of these men. I am not a person of color, but the guts of these men are beyond due the respect we should have given them.
