While I was trying to find Fox 21 News tonight I ended up on WGN. That’s Chicago’s premier local television station. By coincidence they had interviews with some of Chicago’s own Red Tails. Duluth has one, Mr. Gomer, a black aviator who flew in the Army Air Corp during WW II.
Duluthians should recall that the George Lucas Movie Red Tails that recently appeared in town at the Zinema Theater. After some of my recent posts on the shabby treatment of African Americans I thought it would be topical of me to link to the WGN piece.
One of Chicago’s Red Tails told WGN the program was set up to fail. You have to understand. Black men were more like chimpanzee’s and there was no better way to prove it than puting a company of them in the cockpits of airplanes.
Crap. They did exceedingly well. Never mind. They were probably commies or Muslims.
