From the Huffington Post:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas conceived of a film about brave fighter pilots. No, not "Star Wars," but the true-life tale of the barrier-shattering World War II squadron, The Tuskegee Airmen.

HAIL!!! ha-EL-O-HIM(THE GOD)!!! OF ALL IN ALL!!! HAIL!! CURT CURT--IN REFERENCE TO YOUR PARAGRAPH 3, LINE 3; "ANOTHER PLAY TO KNOCK DOWN THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT ECT..."--SO RIGHT!!; AND THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW THAT, "THE ROLE OF BLACK HISTORY IS NOT TO PROVE THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK PEOPLE TO WORLD CIVILIZATION ARE BETTER OR WORSE THAN OTHER RACES, BUT TO STRESS THE FACT THAT AFRICANS AND AFRICAN DESCENDANTS CAN LOOK BACK UPON THEIR PAST WITH PRIDE, FOR MEN AND WOMEN OF BLACK SKIN HAVE CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO HUMAN PROGRESS".--(THE ORIGINAL AFRICAN HERITAGE STUDY BIBLE, KING JAMES VERSION BY DR. CAIN HOPE FELDER, PHD, PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE HOWARD UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON, DC.)AND AS COACH AND DR. EDDIE G. ROBINSON OF GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY(JAMES "SHACK" HARRIS AND DOUG WILLIAMS) SAID "WHEN A MAN LOSES HIS PRIDE, HE AIN'T WORTH A DAMN". WHY BLACK HISTORY; BECAUSE OUR SKIN IS STILL BLACK AND WE CAN REACH WITH UNDERSTANDING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HURT WITH RACISM. YET, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE TEACHING OF JESUS/CHRIST, YOU CAN BRING GOD'S ANSWER TO THE WOUND OF THE SOUL. THEN FROM THEN ON YOU MUST NOT LET SELF-PITY OR ANY EXCUSE, HOWEVER LEGITIMATE TRAP YOU IN A "FLESY" REACTION TO RACISM. YES WE'RE A FORGIVING PEOPLE, YOU'RE SO RIGH CURT CURT. BECAUSE WE KNOW IT IS VITAL FOR US TO FORGIVE, NOT TO FORGET. TO FORGIVE THOSE WHITES FOR THEIR IGNORANCE AND REJECTION THAT IGNORANCE CAUSED. BUT EVIL, PAINFUL AND SUFFERING DEATH BRINGING WE DO NOT. PEACE Y'ALL AND ALL PEACE AND LOVE CURT CURT. BYE!!!

I'd be willing to place a wager that Max is actually black, and not a white racist as some people perceive him to be. Believe it or not some black people ae willing to belittle other blacks on a mass scale. These type people are usually very insecure, and unhappy with themselves.

@Pink
Ya know, you may be right about that person being Black and also may have multiple screen names.
Many times when they type something there is sometimes, someone who agrees with him as a side kick. I mean really, for a person who disagrees with Black so much, they certainly spends a lot of time on Black Voices.
Actually, I believe this person may encourage race hate of Black folks towards whites with they idiotic things they say if they are Black.
But, what I do know is, he finds his idiotic facts on race hate web sites that will spin and twist the truth pertaining to Black folk.
These sites are propaganda sites to teach young white folk to hate minorities treat Black people as their enemies.
These site also say that the holocaust never happen.
Many sites like that are found on white supremacy webs, like the stormfront, David Duke's forum, white citizen council , white pride forever, White Order of Thule and WOTAN is also used as an acronym for "Will Of The Aryan Nations.
Many of these folks are illiterates, high school drop outs, poor, dysfunctional and cowardice. When they provoke violence the normally attack in groups, the weaker minorities or people whom can’t defend themselves or people who support non-violence.
I studied and spoken to changed and reformed white supremacist while I was in college for a psychology class.
Being white they can’t blame themselves for their failures because many know this country was set up for the success of their personal lives, so they blame people who don’t look like them and accused minorities of taking things from them and destroying their lives.
Many of them will say Black people say the same thing, however they were never discriminated against, denied a job or education, murdered, raped, enslaved and segregated due to being outnumbered.

I've just posted to Max on his effort to impose a racist revisionist account on what happened with the Red Tails. I worked with a Tuskegee Airman, who gave me the skinny on why the Red Tails were so successful. You can read my post, what he told me made perfect sense.

So I watched the ridiculous trailer for this movie.
ALL the "combat" scenes are digital CGI effects with dozens if not hundreds of nazi fighters involved, and against the hero Negroes. And, of course the Negroes triumph with no losses. Knowing the intellect of the Negroes watching the movie, I'll bet they all think they are watching actual WWII footage.
The TRUTH is that the Tusks were only sent on safe non-combat missions and never encountered anything other than a few crippled luftwaffe fighters. You can find these FACTS anywhere on the internet. For example, quoting the 3rd paragraph of the following link:
"Although the 477th Bombardment Group "worked up" on North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, THEY NEVER SERVED IN COMBAT;"

Now, the grain of truth and honesty in the trailer was the frame near the end that said "INSPIRED by true events". Wow, did the makers of the film ever take liberty with that statement.

@max,
You went to wikipedia..wikipedia. Oh that's right it is the source of all factual material. Please. You need to take a real history class that's jaded with all the "great" things that white people did.

Max, it is very, very obvious that you are NOT a true historian. American history is full of political ideology and supposed events that happened that just isn't true.
Claiming that 99% of all the participants in WWII were white Americans is the biggest lie about WWII. You had the native americans, the infamous WIND TALKERS. You had Japanese Americans who were born in this country. You had Chinese americans, these were the desendants of the Chinese workers who were brought into this country to help build the railroad tracks back in the late 1800's.
There was a black general stationed in Europe during WWII whose son also ended up being a general in the U.S. army.
Many pilots lost their lives escorting B-52 bombers over Europe. This was why a lot of times the white squads would never even show up, they would claim they got lost. The TUSK would at least show up which is why many of the pilots of the B-52 bombers requested their services.
We won't even get into the foreign underground allies that helped many of the Americans overseas, allies like the French Underground.
You really need to know your history before making rediculous claims. Even the Atomic Bomb was build by scientists from the world over, it wasn't all white Americans. One of the main theories about atomic energy was created by a Jewish person who had escaped from his homeland because of his religious beliefs. That person being Albert Einstein.

The airmen in the US air force during WWII were 99% white. America itself was 90% white up until the mid-1960s when the liberal Democrats in the senate created a bill to favor 3rd world immigration into the US and disregard protecting the US border.
Now, speaking of the Atomic Bomb (Manhattan Project), there were NO Negro scientists, just like no Negro scientists contributed to the US moon landing. BUT I'll bet it's only a matter of time before a fictional movie is made claiming Negro scientists were part the team and led it to success, against the headwinds of racism and discrimination of course! Such a movie would be no less a farce and fiction than this "Tuskegee Airmen" movie.
