The United States military’s official line as set forth by the Army War College was quite clear: Because the “Negro soldier is lacking in physical courage and psychological characteristics,” he is “inherently inferior to the white soldier.” Therefore, blacks in World War II were assigned subordinate, menial, and even demeaning tasks, while whites were celebrated as national heroes.

But then something happened. The Nazis started winning, just like the South had started winning the Civil War and the Redcoats had started winning the Revolutionary War. Help was needed. And that help came not from white guys wearing white hats on white horses, but from black guys wearing leather aviator caps often in red-tailed planes. This is quite similar to what happened when the Black Regiments, and later the U.S. Colored Troops, fortunately saved us all from forever having to speak with pompous British accents and backwoods Southern drawls—and also from having to deal with that irritating taxation without representation thing and that inconvenient slavery thing, too. . Also, the musical soundtrack is by world-renowned composer and trumpeter Terence Blanchard who’s worked with Spike Lee. The co-executive producer is Charles Floyd Johnson who has produced 15 successful commercial TV series. And the other co-executive producer is George Lucas—who has been awarded the laudatory title of honorary black man as a result of selflessly spending $58 million of his $3.2 billion to finance the filming of this historic story that needed to be told and that Hollywood bigwigs refused since 1942 to fund solely because, in his words, it was a nearly an “all-black movie … (with) no major white roles in it at all.” What? No Great White Father? No white man as The Man? No black gangbangers or drug dealers? No cross-dressing emasculated black men? No mind-numbingly shallow, even pointless, scripts? Nope. Well, you get no money then. Come back later when you have some Tyler Perry bullshit, and we’ll give you the key to the vault. But I digress.

You may be surprised to learn that fully solid White Gold Crosses for men are not easy to find. Most cross pendants on the market today are either hollow on the inside, gold-plated, or they are very thin. This is, in part, due to the fact that gold prices have risen and to buy a chunk of gold is not the most practical thing to do–that is, unless, you shop at Apples of Gold, a premier online fine jewelry company that is Christian-owned!
