Those nice French people couldn’t be racist! Why, if they were racist, our media would be telling us!

This story doesn’t strike me as very believable. I find it hard to believe that two thirds of the Free French were Black. I know they had Colonies all around the world including Chad, Madagascar, North Africa, and lots in the South Pacific but no where near a majority of France and her possessions were in Sub-Saharan Africa.

why should I care?
Sounds like they didn’t allow any AMERICAN soldiers their either, regardless of color or race.

2/3’s???? No freaking way
To: mamelukesabre
Wasn't it Allied soldiers who did most of the heavy lifting before letting the French take the lead? Something similar to what happened in Kuwait during Gulf-war number one.

One of the dirty little secrets of that era was that Hitler’s “master race” ideology was extremely popular even among many leaders in the Allied countries.

Yep.
After reading the entire article, It appears american and british troops were present in the liberation, but were not allowed to get there first.

2/3s???? No freaking wayWhy is this so hard to believe? We're not talking about the French army circa 1940. We're talking about what was left after the Germans overran almost all of the regular French army. That was the colonial forces.

We realize it was Colonial “and” French who did not go along with the Vichy government and yes I find it extremely hard to believe.

Why? What part of the French army do you think escaped the Germans in 1940? 1.6 million French soldiers were marched off to POW and slave labor camps in Germany. How many white military age males were left outside German controlled areas?
