huh. That is very cool, but still doesn't deny that racism against minorities in America still exists. If he were alive today, though, I'd say we should support him.

Racism exists in the world period. Nobody with good sense would say any different. However it is not only against minorities. Even the democrat party of the United States government is racists against whites, blacks, Hispanics and everybody else. We have a President, Joe Biden, who has been making racist statements against Black People for decades and continues to do so.

I'm not going to enter into a huge political discussion here because that is not the point of this meme and people really need to chill out and stop fighting with each other.
The problem is the propaganda the media is spreading. America WAS NOT built on Racism. The TRUTH IS that White Americans are the people who ended slavery in America. There is no such thing as "institutional Racism".

I made this meme because of what an ungrateful entitled feeling American athlete who has NEVER suffered any REAL oppression of any kind decided to disrespect the country she was supposed to be representing. She had no real reason to do so. If she would have done this in any other country she would have immediately been assassinated. She disrespected the only country in the world that protects her right to be disrespectful.

Compare her to J. C. (Jesse) Owens. MR. Owens was a man who suffered REAL oppression. He saw his Grandfather suffer the horrors of slavery. He watched his father work his fingers to the bone in order to make a small share of the crops he raised. His father was a dedicated hard working man who even with actual oppression happening was able to send his children to school.
Jesse Owens was proud of his accomplishments and he owned his mistakes. He overcame the circumstances of the world actually trying to hold him back and understood that he could still make in America and no other country in the world.
Jesse Owens respectfully represented his country even though if anybody might have had a reason not to it would have been him.

It represents the difference between people who overcame actual hardship and those people who today suffer from imaginary "wrongs". Every American has the same exact opportunity as every other American has not matter how many lies their television tells them.

Didn't that same guy beat that Olympian from fascist Nazi Germany? Just Curious.

Yes he did.

In the qualifying event for the Running Long Jump event, while Hitler watched from the sideline, the Nazi judges gave Owens a "foul" for running "past the jump line" on his first two attempts so the German athlete, Luz Long, told Owens to jump from 12 inches before he got to the line. Luz Long jumped right before Owens and was holding his sweatshirt while running towards the line and dropped it about 12 inches before he reached the line. That made everyone's eyes pay closer attention to the line when Owens took his 3rd and final jump.

When Luz Long made his 3rd jump he fell backwards into his butt, making his jump measure around 12 inches shorter. Owen's 3rd jump was then a further distance than Long's and there was no way the judges could say that Owens "fouled".

Jesse Owens went on to win the Long Jump event as well as three (3) other Gold Medals in the 1936 Olympics.
Needless to say Hitler was REALLY pissed.

Long and Owens remained friends from then on. A final letter Long wrote to Jesse Owens reads, in part, "Someday find my son ... tell him about how things CAN be between men on this Earth."

Luz Long was killed in 1943 while fighting for Germany in WWII.
