My uncles used to tell us stories about how, right after WWII in Japan, Japanese women would ask to see their tails before....

When I was in the Navy and in Vietnam 25 years later....I experienced the exact same thing up-close-and-personl -- in Yokuska, Osebo, etc. Japan. In DaNang, Vietnam, Olongopo City, Phillipines, Bankok, Thailand, Okinawa, Singapore, etc., etc.

Since...forever, white American military men have spread all manner of lies about us throughout the world.

Oh...you also ask whether white people would prioritize white-over-black in a crisis in this country. Well...speaking of WWII, remember that the "government" (white people) locked up 120,000 Japanese-Americans (as suspected spies) for the duration of the war (from '41 to '46) in concentration camps.

But they did not lock up German-Americans. They even treated German POWs (their sworn enemies) like kinfolk rather than as enemies.

Watch what’s about to happen as these white Ukrainian refugees start arriving here: They’re about to get jobs, free housing, education, loans, grants, transportation, food, clothing…you get the picture.

Meanwhile, we can’t get a damn voting rights bill through Congress.

So, yeah, if push comes to shove, black people better be ready to get the hell out of this place.
