Black History Tales

During WWI, there were black men that fought for this country. Anyone could join but had to pass drug and alcohol tests first.. Contrary to belief, black men were clean and didn't do drugs in that era.. But it all changed during battle.. During one of the battles, soldiers of all colors fought, some injured, others bloodied.. They assembled these soldiers in tents and attempted to nurse them back to health. They separated groups by labeling them "Crippled", those that had severe injuries and"Bloodied", those that had minor injuries . The nurses assigned to these camps carried morphine, IV's, and other medication.. But as you can sense, the Crippled group had a larger quantity for need.. But that didn't sit right for a couple of black soldiers in the Bloodied group. They stormed the medical staff and began fighting with the nurses,forcing some of the Crippled group to fight back for their medication.. When the Crippled group were low on medication, they retaliated and stormed the Bloodied groups camps, though it took longer to make it there due to their injuries...This went on for some time until the Army disbanded all members that were involved and sent them home... But unfortunately two members from rival groups lived within one block of each other in Compton,CA... They remembered and assembled a strong following of family and friends for their respected causes... The rest is history.... The Army never confirmed that this started a nationwide phenomenom... But I feel obligated to show you the truth...
