US criticisms of Soviet human rights abuses were often met with the response "and what about the human rights of black people in the US? what about the lynchings?" The US thus looked hypocritical and this undermined whatever claim it might have had to a moral position.
a victory over Hitler's racism abroad and America's racism at home
Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation and discrimination in the United States, negatively impacted America's image abroad by highlighting its hypocrisy regarding democracy and human rights. While the U.S. positioned itself as a champion of freedom and equality, these laws revealed deep-seated racial injustices, undermining its moral authority. Internationally, many countries criticized the U.S. for its treatment of African Americans, which contrasted sharply with its efforts to promote democracy and human rights globally. This contradiction fueled anti-American sentiment and highlighted the ongoing struggle for civil rights within the country.
The Double V campaign during World War II symbolized two victories for African Americans: victory over fascism abroad and victory over racial discrimination at home. It highlighted the contradiction of fighting for freedom and democracy overseas while facing segregation and inequality in the United States. This movement galvanized the African American community, emphasizing the need for civil rights and social justice, ultimately laying the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement that followed in the 1950s and 1960s.

a victory over Hitler's racism abroad and America's racism at home
African Americans believed it was unfair to fight for the United States during World War II because they faced systemic racism and discrimination at home, despite being asked to defend the nation. Many felt that their contributions to the war effort would not be acknowledged or rewarded, as they were often denied basic civil rights and faced segregation in the military. This contradiction fueled resentment, as they fought for freedoms abroad that they were denied in their own country. The sentiment was captured in the slogan "Double V," advocating for victory against fascism abroad and racism at home.

The power of America's example
Imperialism Viewed From Abroad: Having begun a pattern of international involvement, the U.S. discovered that these actions frequently took on a life of their own. In the Caribbean and Central America, for example, the U.S. often had to defend governments that were unpopular with local inhabitants. In Latin America, the cry "Yankee, Go Home!" began to be heard. Even before the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, Panamanians began to complain that they suffered from discrimination. On the other hand, because the United States was quickly becoming so powerful, other countries-even those fearful about maintaining their independence-began to turn to the United States for help. Both welcomed and rejected, the United States would spend the rest of the century trying to decide the best way to reconcile its growing power and national interests with its relationships with other nations.
