Player #7932150, first of all, watch your language, there's no need to cuss. Secondly while it is widely known Hitler sought to demonstrate the superiority of the Aryan race, it is also known that the only country that practised segregation even within its military forces, during the WWII conflicts, was the USA. It is still a matter of social unrest that America still has many problems with racism. The President is one of the worst.

God gives reason and purpose for our lives. In the book of Esther, it says "she was placed in her position, for such a time as this". Jesse Owens life proved how wrong Hitler's idea of a "super race" was. (Read Esther. It's fascinating.

DroningCornball68263, Based on historical accounts, Adolf Hitler did not specifically refuse to shake Jesse Owens’ hand. Instead, Hitler did not shake hands with any American Olympic medalists, including Owens, as a matter of policy. This was reportedly due to the strained diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States at the time.

Good to read accounts than the historic rumor. Hitler didn’t shake anyone’s hand. He started with only German athletes, but after counsel to either shake all hands or none, he chose none.

Did you know, that The African American Athletes were not even ALOWED to stay in the same Hotels as the White Athletes. The German People fully welcomed and embraced people of Colour in the Games, a shame that in the 21st century Americans are seen as Xenophobic.
