@rome71rome Idiot.

[Mineretta2012]

I wonder if that woman was added for affect cause it sure looked like she was acting. I don't think she was even at the Olympics that day.

Martinus Osendarp was my Opa's (grandfathers) uncle. Not sure he was a nice guy though... check out his wikipedia page for more info.

Owens said, "Hitler didn't snub me - it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."[13] On the other hand, Hitler sent Owens a commemorative inscribed cabinet photograph of himself.[14] Jesse Owens was never invited to the White House nor bestowed honors by presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) or his successor Harry S. Truman during their terms. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower honored Owens by naming him an "Ambassador of Sports."

wikipedia it =)

Jesse Owens kicked some Nazi ass.

well done, sir. well done.

[LineaGotica91]

@ZamolxisReborn That 's sport, not politics.

[ZamolxisReborn]

@LineaGotica91 if you honestly believe that...

well, YOU might think it's just a sport, but for the Nazis, this was their big chance to prove the supposed superiority of the Aryan race; imagine the rude awakening they got when a black guy destroyed them.

it WAS a political thing. read some history, dude.

[LineaGotica91]

@ZamolxisReborn You should read some history: it was Franklin Roosevelt (not Hitler) who refused to congratulate Jesse Owens. Was Roosevelt the president of Germany? 

[ZamolxisReborn]

@LineaGotica91 i'm pretty sure Hitler was more racist than Roosevelt. you should remember that the world was different at that time; there was even a nazi movement in the US, with eugenics, forced sterilizations and all that...

and Roosevelt was no angel either.

still, that makes Jesse Owens's statement even more powerful, as he showed THE WORLD that it was all racist bullshit.

[LineaGotica91]

@ZamolxisReborn Nobody thought that Jesse Owens wasn't a good athlete, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited. Hitler wanted Luz Long to win because it would have been anoher important victory for Germany, so this is about nationalism and not racism. You can find racial issuses in 1968 Olympics, still.

[ZamolxisReborn]

@LineaGotica91 opinions formed in ignorance cannot be easily changed.

have a nice life. :)

[ZamolxisReborn]

@LineaGotica91 hitler's nationalism was based on racism. at least the US wanted to win badly enough that they allowed a black guy to represent us.

[LineaGotica91]

@ZamolxisReborn They just allowed a good athlete to compete, it doesn't matter what race he belonged to. Anyway, Germany won more gold medals than the US.

@ZamolxisReborn Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, who was a believer in eugenics. That's why clinics are located in poor neighborhoods with a high concentration of non-Caucasians.

[ZamolxisReborn]

@WomanOFaith not sure how that ties in with Jesse Owens kicking nazzi butt, but Morgaret Sanger was indeed a believer in eugenics.

.

i'd say planned parenthood is in poor neighborhoods because unwanted pregnancy rates are higher there. not so sure it's an evil conspiracy....though the end result of killing disproportionately large number of minority and poor babies is true, regardless of the motivation.

[labordoodlesrox]

Is there supposed to be sound cuz im not herein any?? :)

[jamesjonesrocket]

in your face hitler!

[pomati2000afterban]

@jamesjonesrocket why ? read Owen's declarations & biography..he said that nobody treated him so well in his entire life, and Hitler's shook his hand..and remained for him the most emotional moment in his life

he was not congralulated by americans, and not receive by the president..but ,he could go everywhere in germany when in america he was not entilted to take the bus..!! in your face brainwashed

[jamesjonesrocket]

@pomati2000afterban it was a joke pal. Get a sense of humour, or a hobby. If you want to get serious about it, of course it was the most emotional moment in his life-he just won an olympic medal -NOT because he shook that cunt's hand. And I'm not a historian, but whatever the treatment was in usa, it probably would have been worse for him in nazi germany. Either way, by defending hitler , you really show what kind of a person you are!

[pomati2000afterban]

@jamesjonesrocket you just proved that it was not a joke, and as you said, you're not "a historian" but you know better than Owens what he said about . it 's not important what kind of person I am or not, the facts are more important

[jamesjonesrocket]

@pomati2000afterban exactly! no matter what books we read, neither me or you know the facts, or what owen said , we weren't there! so we might as well shut the fuck up and stop wasting our time-especially you though :) all the best sweetheart x
