When Dedan Kimathi Ji Jaga returned from combat in Vietnam, he painted his walls black, covered his windows and sat in darkness all day. His injuries and post-traumatic stress were severe, but as with many African American soldiers in 1968, the US government gave him little support.
African Americans were a little over 13% of the population and suffered just under 12% of the KIAs in Vietnam. The idea that blacks were disproportionally assigned to combat units is a 1960s myth from the Civil Rights and Anti-war movements.
Spike Lee perpetuates a 60s anti-wat theme with this. 'In 1967, black Americans were roughly 11% of the civilian population, but 16.3% of soldiers drafted and 23% of Vietnam combat troops.' I don't know where he got his numbers but they are inaccurate. Part 1.

Did Vietnam Vets have a rough time of it following the war. Yes they did, but it was rough for all of them regardless of race.

Yes, we have a lot to improve in our democracy to ensure those in power don't abuse it. Shall we focus on the authoritarian threat of the CCP first, so we still have a democracy with which to question those in power? Sack this journalist while you're at it. COVIDー19
When you see a red MAGA hat, think of these stories. Trump is the resulting backlash after Obama became President. Trump supporters believe MAGA means a return to Apartheid. The racists found refuge with Trump.

If usa was forced to pay compensation to Vietnam , then usa would never have invaded Iraq . For too long usa can kill with impunity, with facts for doing so based on fiction.
