I dislike discrimination between colored and white soldiers on the part of the army. To win this war will take cooperation and color will have to be forgotten. The reason the other side is so far ahead of this country is because the Southern white man goes out of his way to keep the colored men down. The southern white people seem as if they are not fighting any foreign country, but are fighting to keep the negro from advancing above his present level. When a colored officer is stationed in the South white soldiers and officers turn their back to keep from saluting him. Most Negro officers are stationed in the North or on the West Coast. White Southerners would treat a yard dog better than they do a Negro. Roland Hayes of Ga. was terribly beaten because his wife refused to buy a pair of shoes. A Southern white man wants you to kiss his ass to get along with him, but he wants you to fight to keep him in luxury. Gov. Talmadge of Georgia said over the radio that he would rather see Germany + Japan rule the world rather than see a negro sit down beside him on a bus. The white people of Texarkana cut a negroes nuts and made him eat them because he was suspected of raping a white girl. I am sorry I don't have more space so I could speak my opinion more fully, I hope you can see my point of view about this whole set up.
