twenty foe..  Clint did not make policy in the 40's and revisionist history is not what he is into... nor I.

PC is crap.   I would have fought for equal rights and did in some ways back in the 60's just like the other guys you don't like... Heston and Eastwood.

Where we all left the the boat was when it got as silly as it has..  Now we not only think that extra rights are wrong (always did) but... myself.. I don't even want to be around these babies and have taken to just genrealizing when it comes to the negro race... it is just so much easier and works out great.

HoldenMcGroin is correct...integration of the U.S. Armed Forces did not happen until post WWII.

If you will read your USMC History, you will find out how many African-Americans served on Iwo Jima, how they served, how many were wounded, how many died on Iwo Jima, and how many African-Americans were awarded medals for Valor on Iwo Jima, and why.

I read, Flags of Our Fathers,and I saw the film. In my opinion, the film followed the book. If Mr. Lee has a problem with the absence of
African-Americans not being represented in the film, "Flags of Our Fathers", he should probably take issue with the book's author, Mr. James Bradley, rather than the film's Producer, Mr. Clint Eastwood.

This just my opinion.

I bet Nelson Mandella will be played by Morgan Freeman...the resemblance is uncanny.

There were a few blacks in Iwo, and among the extras there actually were a few blacks.
Since the Icelandic don't have many, Clint actually got some from the US airbase in Keflavik, just to have things right.

And there you have from someone who was at the filming.  Once again Spike Lee needs to shut his pie hole.

Freeman also happens to be one hell of an actor IMO.

Hehe, Jack, absolutely agree.
I really like his way of speaking, and my favourite is the Shawshank Redemption.

Se7en was his best IMHO but anything Morgan Freeman does is amazing.
