[inman1a]

sometimes it saddens me to see my whitebrother treat black soldiers or any one of a diffrent color in a bad way thank god my parents brought me up to not be racist ....

Hmmm! I do believe I missed this episode.

Coloured soldiers fought bravely in every war from ACW to WW 2. And every time the army treated them like trash. Worse at home. It must have been an absurd experience to come home from Germany, fighting for "freedom" and being not allowed to sit down where you wanted. They told them that the racist ideas of the Nazis are wrong. And propagated racial segregation in the land of the free. What a bunch of two faced scum. They even forced Churchill to accept segregation if he wanted the US troops.

I'm with you ricbowenjr, I can NEVER understand why the Native Americans or Indians as they were then were despised by white men and murdered, also the women and children a particularly dreadful thing to do and their land taken away from them.....no wonder they were called "Savages" I would be too.

The 7th Cavalry was entrapped the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. The 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers rescued the 7th Cavalry.

Read the novel, Rescue at Pine ridge, the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the Buffalo Soldiers, and visit website; rescue at pine ridge. com. The novel embodies Native Americans, Outlaws and Buffalo Soldiers, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approach USA. Story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.

I've always read that the 9th and the 10th cavalry were so good at what they did largely because they were composed of long-term troopers ... ask any old soldier of any persuasion if practice doesn't make perfect. Conditions in the U.S. army back then were pretty harsh but the options for African Americans overall weren't that great. At least it would be difficult for a mob to lynch a black trooper from the 9th while the rest of his company was there.I bet they didn't step aside for anyone.

fort wachucka in serria vista arizona is the home of the buffalo soldiers. they were an all black regiment that was stationed there becuase of thier color and the fact that even at that time they were expendable, so to survive they had to be better than anyone else and prooved it many times over including and up to cuurent day. Terrible how the american african ws treated by our ancestors.
