WOW. Fascinating to see them naming the victims of lynchings, etc. it reads as an honest appeal to reason instead of a cynical ploy to sow division among the troops
Negro is not the n-word.
Is it offensive for non-Black people to call us that now? Yes.
Is it the same level as the actual n-word slur? No.
Especially when the black power movement came into the political consciousness. “Negro” is more of an outdated term than anything.
Yeah, it does feel weird to look at I’ll admit
Did these leaflets have any effect on the american soldiers?
I’d be surprised if we know. I doubt many would have publicly admitted to it influencing their officer fragging or desertion or self-inflicted medical discharge.
I don’t see the N-word anywhere in here. Did I miss something?
