Just because they honored a group of soldiers doesn’t mean “oppression wasn’t that common”. No they weren’t the PRIMARY target of the Nazi regime but anti blackness and racism has always been, and remains to this day, the very widespread system of prejudice. OP or anyone is allowed to feel uncomfortable by that. WW2 is remembered most of the heinous acts and beliefs that caused it not the heroes who helped put it to its end. There is positive connotations to WAR
You literally said “why would being black male you uncomfortable?” Implying that they shouldn’t really be, at least from my pov. I never said you said those things or put words in your Mouth exactly but the way you phrased everything sounded like you were undermining oppression in France and trying to put a positive spin on ww2. Idk why you had to question any being uncomfortable with it in the first place
Because since I’m not black I didn’t understand at first till she explained it a bit but I was asking why she would be. I wasn’t saying no you should not be uncomfortable! I was saying there was less oppression in France because historically there was! That is all and of course there’s a positive spin on World War Two because for some people such as my family our families were heroes for fighting. Don’t assume everything just because you don’t understand the phrasing.
