The Nazi Olympics: African-American Athletes (Part 2)

[seattlefcfan11]

Fun fact: The first pair of cleats ever sold by Adidas where to Jesse Owens before 1936 Olympics, true story!

[whiteguy212006]

For one National Socialism isn't Nazism, morons, two USA isn't the most racist country towards minorities, mainly towards whites. Third, the Olympics in those days where Germany had more medals than the US, obviously Aryan supremacy strength was proven.

[ottawafrankie]

The USA was and is the most racist country in the world.

[apostatdurock]

You should read Veronica Clark Black Nazis ! A Study Of Racial Ambivalance In Nazi Germany's Military Establishment Non German Ethnic Minority And Foreign Volunteers ,Conscripts Laborers And POWs ,1940-1945 (Paperback).

[apostatdurock]

@turbofritz2

You are right Jesse Owens said :" Hitler didn't snub me--it was FD Roosevelt (rosenfeld) who snubbed me . The president didn't even send me a telegram." and " When i passed the Chancelor he arose , waved my hand and i gave him his salvation."

He had no problems in Germany , in USion a lot .

[1royal69]

I'm not African American but I am an American and I will say... Respect and honor for them, cause when they set their mind there's no one stopping u brothers. From a fellow American!!!

[jackluciferkennedy]

wait didn't they did some jesse and hitler thing on the simpsons?XD

[Jammydodge88]

hahaha slap in the face for all the racists right here xD LONG LIVE THE BLACK RACE :D!

[turbofritz2]

LIES LIES LIES AND MORE LIES!! :)

Hitler had nothing against blacks at all. Jesse Owens got very popular in Germany the germans loved him and everyone shook his hands in the streets after he won the OL. Hitler waved at him from the spectator place.

He was not shaking his hand because some comittie said that it was not his job to do so. He didn't shook the white atleets hand either after this.

Jesse wrote "Germane are the nicest people i've meet"

[romeyrome816]

@turbofritz2 i been to germany and it sucked, prob the dirtiest place i ever been

[bornjust2003]

Nazi-Germany .... Nazi-USA the same thing ........

[GoatAirJordanFTW]

@bornjust2003 lol yea i know who to choose Nazi-Germany or KKK-USA

[level242]

Marty Glickman lemmie guess that guy's Mormon....right?

[kraisner114]

Hitler left humiliated, not wanting to shake jesse Owens hand. Lol, supposed master race

[SD78]

LOL@the American revisionist propaganda...

Nazi Germany won 89 medals at the 1936 Olympics, compared to America's 56.

Jesse Owens was treated like a superstar in Germany, but treated like dirt in America.

[PURELOVECREW]

It is a fact, Blacks are treated better in Germany than is America.

[RustyNaiil2]

@ushmm If its nazi olympic how come there even are blacks in the olympic? what did hitler said about it?

[Psyho84]

BTW Jesse Owens claimed that Hitler did in fact shake hands with him behind the cameras. Blacks running faster is not in conflict with nazi ideology.

[SoNicDribble]

@Psyho84

Yeah but he didn't have the ball to do it in public... that says something.

[Eshayzbra96]

just before this the jews were banned from competeting(yeah i know nota really good speller at that lol)

[flukeman022]

haha dumb racists

[LordKaisen]

nice, Owens owns!

[R3AP3RBABY]

even though i aint african american im still black so im soo proud to be one.. !

[capcomike]

I'm so proud to be African-American I could cry

[ugimay]

@matyus111 no bud blacks are the best athletes on the planet

[matyus111]

@ugimay well i cant argue about that m8. ur right! and im white too

[cazomanone]

@matyus111 It was the German Doctor/scientists who advanced the use of steroids back then, experiment on various people. The American's just have the best juice now!! Haha.

[matyus111]

@cazomanone true! and true lol usa juice is the best shit iv had so far :)

[edo0rey]

QUE PASO CON EL FUTBOL DE LAS OLIMPIDAS DE ALEMANIA 1936 DONDE HITLER NO LE GUSTO QUE HAY DE ESA HISTORIA LA VERDADERA HISTORIA DE ESOS PARTIDOS

[wildhippy]

Hitler expressed his feelings about Owens and Africans in private. Albert Speer recollected: Each of the German victories, and there were a surprising number of these, made him happy, but he was highly annoyed by the series of triumphs by the marvelous colored American runner, Jesse Owens. People whose antecedents came from the jungle were primitive, Hitler said with a shrug; their physiques were stronger than those of civilized whites and hence should be excluded from future games

[wildhippy]

On reports that Hitler had deliberately avoided acknowledging his victories, and had refused to shake his hand, Owens recounted: When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.

[Squeaky4CC]

we need black swimmers to win gold

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I know this will inspire a lot of hateful comments

[wmcdonald76]

How about telling the truth for once in your life? Look up "Jesse Owens: Myth and Reality" in the IHR archives and try peddling this nonsense again.

[bananasplitsable]

Alot of athletes probably took steroids, and do now. Imagine how pissed off Hitler must have been seeing a great black athlete, ha!

[visionimagify]

@bananasplitsable You're actually correct my friend. Germans were the leading pioneer of the creation of most addictive drugs to date, Including Steroids. Yes, their athletes took plenty of them, along with meth as well.

[samc66]

jesse owens took steroids

[starletdempsy]

@samc66

and hitler saved jews

samc66, your funny!hehe

[FoziaAbdi]

@samc66 steroids wasnt even there back then at least not in the usa mate

[endorphin2468]

Medal count:

1.GERMANY: 89

2.Usa: 56

3. Italy: 16

These are the FACTS

[asspop123]

Then these brave athletes came back to the states for more Racism. No respect even after they represented their country.

[ShaolinDynasty]

Racism is a pathetic period. Jesse Owens was a great athlete, color has nothing to do with it.

[Drejccc]

Pathetic nazis, Go Jesse !!

[lolboyfromga]

Jesse owens,the fastest man eva!Eva!

[judd204]

so if ur not good at sports then automaticly u cant be superior ?? i dont agree maybe the aryan race isnt the finest at world records but thats something rare only 1 in a billion get so i dont think it has to do with anything.

[Viruspirate]

you are truly the epitome of stupidity....

[Omega3chimp]

@judd204 think about it too balck people live in the wild like aniamles so they use there muscles more white people arnt aniamle like so they lost some of there aniamle like intincts,but you still see some white people with toe like thumbs like,black peopel have longer arms and legs too like monckeys,and there balcs skin is like a gorillas also id just wanted to point out the truth.

[MissVampireDiaries]

haha, what? monkeys actually have white skin. why don't Africans win many medals if they lived with the wild? so monkeys would dominate all sports? on average whites are the tallest, especially Scandinavians.

no humans are related to Gorillas, only Chimps....

[Omega3chimp]

chimps could probably beet people at alot of things actually very few monkeys have white skin,that doesnt matter anyway,its more facial features,what does being tall matter most monkeys are smaller and have long arms like black people do,white people are thos most evolved because there the newst breed of people in the world,somthing like 10 000 years ago people with blue eyes appeared black people have been around the longest so there the stupidest.

[MissVampireDiaries]

they do have white skin. but all you see is their dark hair. look up pictures of a shaven monkey.

everyone is evolving, blacks didn't just stop. its just that blacks today still look similar to the blacks from back then. you theory doesn't explain why Asians have a higher IQ...why would having less melanin to protect yourself form the sun be superior?

you're wrong about monkeys, the wont be able to do a lot of these sports.

[Omega3chimp]

yeah because asians are kind of white.

[MissVampireDiaries]

no they aren't. each race are separate.don't look at skin color. a lot of blacks have white skin, doesn't make them white.

[Omega3chimp]

know your thinking like a natzi so jews arent white?

[MissVampireDiaries]

Jews are Caucasian.

[Omega3chimp]

same with black people that have white skin especially albinos.

[Omega3chimp]

all the black people are killing albinos in africa because there white,they dont say that thou but whites never said that we inslaved black people because there black you sold your own race.

[MissVampireDiaries]

stop saying "we" and "you". ME and YOU weren't alive then. white did take in slaves, who were prisoners of war. Africa didn't see a need for all those prisoners so they sold them. whites also took Native American slaves, but they were too weak.

[FoziaAbdi]

@MissVampireDiaries why aren't they good at B-BALL then lolz! Canadians own them at hockey!

[Junior1luv]

In Jesse Owen`s senior year in High school he ran a 10.2 in the 100 meters.

at the time he was the fastest man in

the U.S as a teen.Damn

[cicerone63]

You can have an idea of "ARIANS RACE" observing actually people from Afganistan, before Christ migrated to India and destroyd by Alexander the great in the battle of river Istaspe, few years later than Gaugamela battle agaisnt persians. These are the arians! Indians from Afganistan!

[tonylee1973]

lot a things wrong with america but nothing Hitler is going fix. Joe Louis

[lavenderblossom]

The word Aryan is Indian, and the only real Aryans are Indians....And the swastika is an Indian symbol meaning peace. The Nazi's reversed it to stand for something evil, and the reversed sign is now taboo.

I can't believe after all that happened, there are still Neo-Nazi's still existing in today's society.

[Bajinjo]

The hardest competions,where withe poeple can't win neither doped are 100m 200m 4x100 and long jump.The rest was Hitler doping...germany cheated till 1990 even after nazism...no surprise that still now the unbeatable records are from ddr

[BarryCFCOK]

The idiot who says that the German myth was broken is a fool. Which country won the most medels in the 1936 games?

[keijimuto]

There were a lot of racists in the states as well!!, too bad Jesse Owens didnt get much of recognition back then.

[Lavulo187]

there is only one race in this planet and that is the human race.the term race to define one's culture on the basis of skin colour is a colonialists thinking---very ethnocentric the term race should only refer to species rather then culture.

[necrosny]

@Lavulo187

Try going to Somalia, then go to Japan and tell me they're equal.

[Lavulo187]

@necrosny if they both have one brain, two legs, two hands, two feet, eyes, ears similar to yours, i dont see them any different. and mind you, these countries have suffered from war. japan, affected from radiation after the atomic bomb blast in Hiroshima and Somalia is stricken by ethinic/tribal/religious warfare.

[necrosny]

@Lavulo187

Sorry, but you're very, very wrong. You can not blame Less-Economically Developed Countries on conflict, because some of the most developed countries in the world have suffered just as much conflict. Different races have different superiorities and inferiorities that can be (scientifically) measured. For example, if I take a random sample of 100 Blacks and 100 Whites, who do you think will be more capable of swimming?

[Lavulo187]

@necrosny your example is very unethical and inhumane..its dat sort of thinking that drove Hitler into his insane theory of an Aryan race. Every culture has different approach to life, and most people, like yourself, judge the behaviour and abilities of people based on skin colour. very ethnocentric and racist i say. everyone has different talents and skills based on the environment they are conditioned and the choices people make in life.

[necrosny]

@Lavulo187

Not inhumane or unethical, because no one is being harmed. I could do the same with intelligence potential, the reason why Africa never invented anything. Sure, on an individual level, people are all different, but we observe these trends on a collective level. Nevertheless, it's not so much about asserting one's racial superiority, which Hitler never advocated, as it is about racial separatism. And I don't want to mix my traits and culture with Somalia's. What's your background?

[Lavulo187]

How do Africans survive in the wilderness if they hadnt invented anything?

[necrosny]

@Lavulo187

By invention, I'm not talking about building a mud hut, I'm talking about something a little bit more sophisticated than that; like a computer.

[LionArmor9]

@Lavulo187 You don't get out much or read do you. It's on the internet look it up idiot.

[Lavulo187]

@LionArmor9---and how many times we event something out of science and then fail???...i have a life u know...i dont sit on a computer and argue wif strangers like a fat looser who is depressed with life..dat sounds like u!!!!

[LionArmor9]

@Lavulo187 "EVENT" "WIF???" You might want to proof read what you write before sending it... It makes your point more valid rather than idiotic like the STUPID ASS you are. Only an idiot would ask "How did Africans survive in the "Wildernes???" They lived in heavily populated areas... in groups called TRIBES that have obviously survived for literaly EONS... And in doing so INVENTED countless things and tactics for outdoor survival. Poor idiot.

[Lavulo187]

@LionArmor9 lol...no, its never idiotic to ask questions...idiots are people who talk a bunch of rubbish and claim it as "facts"...but people who ask questions about the world around them are curious to understand...its a waste of time talking to u, u need Jesus mate. I hope u find Him. have a good day :)

[blackknight509]

@necrosny Ahh but that is where you are wrong in giving your example sir. See, whites being "better" at swimming has absolutely nothing to do with superiority. Blacks are physically more able to perform at a higher level than whites, it's scientific truth by genetic inheritance. as to swimming, the factor there is Socioeconomic status and geographic location. swimming is a sport practiced mainly by middle to high class whites. there is not much competition there from Blacks who compete in...

[HalfbreedOFevil]

actually nazis still won more metals then anyone else

just cuz they were defeated in few challenges doesnt mean they did bad in the rest of them!!

look it up!! they won more gold metals then all the nations that competed

[ratonL]

Yeah, you're right. But it's just the fact that an "unarian" dude beat them. I'm sure they didn't feel a whole that superior after that defeat. That would've been fun to watch, the expresion on their faces when an African-American beat one of their athletes. Haha, not so superior are they?

[winfriedstar]

I think he was hang

[123laconga]

Metcaffe was NOT second, it was Mack Robinson that won the silver medal.

[SetaSiittio]

Jesse Owens is my favourite.

[sharonanony]

The point is THE MYTH OF WHITE SUPREMACY WAS SMASHED. If they won more medals DUH, they was on home turf. and Blacks were only a handful on the American team. If Blacks had been the whole American teams. guess What?

[imkingkendall]

Where are all the white americans in your sports seriously, you have to be one of the worst countrys in sporting history if it went for your african/ american / afro carribeon americans....you would win fuck all.....wheres the white american boxers at.....haaa

[Achilles2999]

You SUCK!

[BozeWolfChess]

0:44 right and we still can`t jump lol.

[Neil6000]

stoonka1:

I guess the one thing I don't like about the Internet is that it allows people's random thoughts to be anonymously posted.

While you probably thought you were being funny with this ridiculous post, the fact is that you are not. Instead your post reveals something very ugly inside of you: the real you.

I wouldn't be proud of doing things like this as you are the same as a vandal that breaks windows and slashes car tires in the middle of the night, but is a complete coward by day.

[beccaRed11]

i dnt think there is a gereral superpower cos each race is designed to do certain things, because of the environmen they lived in and adapted to, there r things boths races can do better n worse than each other, comparing is stupid, ppl shud jus b appreciated 4 their talents

[glorp896]

you hear about jesse owens all the time, but what YOU DON'T HEAR is that germany won more gold medals! and total medal count was 89!, to the second place winner, USA 56!

total white guilt PC lefty slant in how the munich 36 olympics were depicted... a total lie!

Its like making a big deal about winning one inning in a 9 inning baseball game, AFTER you lose! stupid!

sure, blacks have a bone/muscle twitch fiber evolutionary advantage, and the nazis showed their supremacy overall, uber alles

[cdishmo]

African Americans always do well in track&field. In the swimming, diving and gymnastic events African Americans don't enter. Invictus 14 is probably right in saying Germany won more metals. The point is that Germany was suppose to be superior in every event. The Germans were supermen, unbeatable.

[HalfbreedOFevil]

i dont think Hitler meant Superior physically

he ment intelligent wise, but was still unset when germans lost a few challenges

ANYWAYS, a dog or any animal wolf, tiger, lion they are all more supirior then humans.....

YET we humans are on top of the food chain!!

thats what superior means!!!

[Evilfisher]

well said

[Ancientafrica]

Hitler infact always felt he was inferior. He knew about the Great Civilization African started in Egypt. Zeus was a pure African/Black person (NOT from Greece). See also the FACE of the Sphinx (a pure African) in Gizeh/Egypt far north of Egypt. Hitler may have won many Golds but in areas were Blacks didn't compete.

[invictus14]

Germany won more gold medals than any other single country during 1936 Olympics (33 to America's 24).

Also, the German spectators cheered Jesse Owens when he competed, and Owens was recorded as having said Hitler waved at him, so you can't really blame Germany for "racism", given that they received black American athletes better than America. That Hitler "snubbed" Owens is a myth.

[invictus14]

"When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus. I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where I wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either." - Jesse Owens

[invictus14]

"When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany." - Jesse Owens

Point of posting quote: When "historians" paint black victories at the Olympics as a U.S. win against foreign racism and non-Americans, they only cover up the truth that "racist" Germans and Hitler himself treated a black athlete with more dignity than America did. If you disagree, reply and explain why.

[fobalis]

well, the story of Jesse Owens vs. Nazi-Germany was made up later but in fact, Jesse Owens e.g. didn't deny a handshake to Hitler, he had a sportmenship/friendship with the German runner Lutz Long (mentioned here?) and he "felt more respected in Germany than in the rascistic white America...

People are always trying to flip history around and onceagain, the USHMM failed to try to tell history as objective as possible.

[loupremo]

@fobalis you're facts are all wrong. Owens said he never received a handshake from Hitler, and he didn't want one.

[NickRiviera10]

@fobalis WHAT?! haha! you said that is a fact?! C'mon you are so wrong! Owens said when he was asked that he never received a handshake from Hitler, but that didn't matter "because he didn't want one" I mean it's part of my history, so I think I know a little bit...don't let your mind be oubliterated by nazi idiology...bye! Deutschland für immer!

[Eshayzbra96]

@fobalis any african/african american can be excepted in anycountry besides the countrys that have neo-nazis/skinheads,like france many black were excepted cause france isnt asmuch of a racist country at all

[IbnNero]

@fobalis I know!He said that many times but the Jews silenced the powerless black Jesse Owens as they always do!The Nazi propaganda WORSHIPPED the black people of Nuba!The American Jews only wanted to Circumsise the uncivilised Nuba men as they called them!The Nazi elite saw them as human perfection

[beccaRed11]

lol @ sayin u cant blame germany or hitler r u fukin stupid, wavin at 1 blk dude dnt change the horrific things they did

[invictus14]

Soldiers of the Third Reich also recruited and fought alongside black soldiers in North Africa during WWII.

Regardless of your diversion away from the topic to "holocaustio ad absurdum", the fact is that this portrayal of black/American defeat of the Third Reich at the Olympics is just hypocritical propaganda.
