70: Four Freedoms

Black Soldiers and the "Double War" in Vietnam

Black soldiers in Vietnam reportedly fought a "double war" against both the enemy and discrimination within their own ranks. The hosts discuss how Vietnamese locals were taught racial slurs by white American soldiers. They suggest that the "Blood" culture and dapping originated among these hardened veterans, who returned to a country that still denied them basic foundations of wealth and respect.
