Contrary to what most people think, the Fuhrer did shake JO's hand, a number of journalists saw this happen behind the stands. Jesse himself said Hitler waved at him. But when he got back to America, FDR wanted nothing to do with him, and the American Amateur Athletics Union expelled him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...erica-snubbed-black-Olympian-Jesse-Owens.html
Oh look, Midnight Funeral is defending Hitler. And he's using the Daily Hate as a source. I never thought I'd see the day.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Not to defend MF's stupidity, but it was telling that Jesse Owens was barred form his own celebration banquet for being black.
I think the point is that FDR being a cunt really has nothing to do with Hitler being a jolly nice chap about it all.
Ain't that some fucked-up bullshit? Like that black woman winning an Oscar for Gone With The Wind but not being able to attend the ceremony/receive the award in public.
Another fail from the Daily Fail? At least they stopped printing nonsense about faked moon landings and secret earthquake weapons.
Jesse Owens and Hitler faked the moon landings and developed secret earthquake weapons? I must have been absent that day in school.
He's still generally hailed as some kind of a hero and still seen in a positive light in most forms of media. You have to take more of an interest in history to know he was actually an asshole to basically everyone.
FDR couldn't stand and out of bitterness, sought to break the country's legs through his social programs. Besides that, he must have hated the fuck out of someone who was the best runner in the world.
Almost all Presidents are assholes. Jimmy Carter perhaps is an exception, but then that was probably his biggest failing. The fact that they are assholes doesn't meant they can't also be hailed for winning a war or saving the country or creating some treasured program.
Way to miss the point. Let me guess, a big FDR fan, right? Well calm the fuck down, I'm not poking fun at your hero, I'm just pointing out that his alleged snub would hardly be out of character for him.
Riiiiight.... Ah yes, tell us all again how you were going to leave and never come back unless Lanz sold you the board - that one never gets old.
