You make several excellent points.

The reason why is simple, yet sad. There's no money to be made from this truth.

The so called black leaders of today the MSM has annointed are extortionists for the liberal Democrat Party.

The real history is of little use to them, unless it can be applied as leverage for a contribution.

Dang, Airborne, I thought you were going to chastise me for forgetting the Triple Nickels, the 555th Airborne Infantry Regiment. A bunch of those guys are still here in the Fort Bragg area.

Also we can throw in the Tank Destroyer Battalions of WW II, one of which had a book written about it with Michael Jordan as the coauthor.

Then there are the 4 Regiments, 2 Cav/2 Inf, of Buffalo Soldier fame who fought and died in the western expansion of our country. One regiment of which, charged up Kettle Hill in Cuba with Teddy and his Rough Riders. Black Jack Pershing got his start with them.

But why bother. If today's blacks want to claim their only history is slavery and then oppression by the white man well fine, let them stew in their own juices.

Me? I'll read every story about black history that comes my way because I love reading about all the history of this country, the good and the bad..
