Jesse Owens Wins 100m Olympic Gold in front of Hitler at 1936 Olympics. Jesse Owens was an American track and field athlete who won international fame by winning 4 gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. These Olympics were especially significant because Adolf Hitler was using the the games to show the world a revival of Nazi Germany.

At the time, blacks were denied equal rights in many parts of the United States. Owens went on to say: "Hitler didn't snub me -- it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."

  • @mcmaha1 also your grammar is horrible. go to a English class please.

  • @mcmaha1 go back worshiping Hitler you fucking freak.

  • @mcmaha1 LOL my spelling is perfectly fine dip-shit "i guess you dont know how to read". second asshole "non-Americans are allowed to be indefinitely detained without trial" is completely wrong and made up with your bullshit". also the only blind nationalist here is you stupid fucking Germans who agian and again blind yourself to your own history and your current circumstances. Who is the President of the united states agian "being we are bigot and raciest country" LOL?

  • @usterdboy First of all, for someone who speaks of self-improvement, your English is absolutely appalling. Secondly, clearly you know very little about Europe. Your ignorance isn't the problem though. The problem is the blind patriotism with which you spew your words out. How about the law recently passed that all non-Americans are allowed to be indefinitely detained without trial? Sounds like labels to me. Also read about Haditha and My Lai massacres then think again.

  • the fucking Europeans have always label people by color/race and they still do today. where was the integration in 36 from the Europeans? Yeah America wasn't perfect, but we damn well dedicate are self for the betterment of are country and are countrymen.

  • @saturnfiverocket We are on the same plain FDR burn in hell for ignoring these great men!!!!!!!!

  • @dal4018 my point
