@juergen_hubert @Balderdoordash @mekkaokereke That is absolutely true. I noticed that when I lived there again during the “refugee crisis” in 2014/15. So, I’m not suggesting that there is no racism in Germany. Far from it. It just seemed that, at least back in the 80s, you being an American outweighed you being black.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis?@mekkaokereke @Balderdoordash I grew up in Germany near a US Army base in the 80s when the memory of liberation was still strong (even with the German population). I was friends with one US soldier in particular and remember him saying that black soldiers loved being stationed in Europe because there, they were Americans first and black second.
