Stop being a 'tard and solely focused on inciting people in this thread. It's tiring and that's why people block you and/or don't acknowledge you. You bring nothing of substance to this thread. |
How equally were those Black soldiers in WW2 treated?
A: Not very! The post-war "GI Bill", which was to help the WW2 vets with housing & education, was given to the states to administer at the insistence of a southern Senator, which lead to many Black vets not getting equal housing or educations.
You don't understand: It's the exception that proves the rule. Back to "Equal Opportunity":
1961. President John F. Kennedy's Executive Order (E.O.) 10925 used affirmative action for the first time by instructing federal contractors to take "affirmative action to ensure that applicants are treated equally without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." Created the Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity.
1964. Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. This was landmark legislation prohibiting employment discrimination by large employers (over 15 employees), whether or not they have government contracts. Established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
