Why did African Americans believe it was unfair to fight for the United states during World War 2?
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.
