Here's an uncomfortable American history fact. While folks often point out that after Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hitler refused to shake his hand.

But what happened next? Well, after returning home, Owens & 17 other Black Olympians were denied an invite to the White House. Instead, President Roosevelt only invited white Olympians. And it wasn't until 2016 that the White House finally apologized and invited their descendants to the WH.

2016.

@QasimRashid Racism is, sadly, alive and well. I don't know FDR's views on race, but do know his policies lifted the country out of the Great Depression and beat back the oligarchy we see today. I would very much like to see your source for this sad indictment.
