I met Jesse Owens in the early 70's. Turns out...he lived just a couple of blocks from me in north Phoenix. Knocked on his door, we spoke for several minutes and he showed me some pics from that time. Still have his autograph. Nice guy.
@@rpminc1974 who cares about the man. Theres plenty of famous men. But a woman operating at such a high level! This whole footage was shot by Leni Riefenstahl and her friends. She was in charge of all of them. Dr. Goebbels went off at her for tieing herself off the edge of a railing and Goering came in and told him to be quite. This was before Leni was pulling British pilots out of the trees at her house near Berlin in 1945, the answer to where all those people who went MIA went. Cos all these people went MIA and never showed up after the war, where were they? In the trees and stuff.
Contrary to what one might think, the German crowds loved Owens and applauded him wildly. He said he had never received such an ovation before or since.
@@projectc.j.j3310 r u fucking stupid? an arena, located in Berlin, at 1936, applause from the crowd for a black man would be the last thing to be expected.
That is the eternal misery of a second. Often only a foot's breadth to the first is missing, but only the second is celebrated. Although the second is usually just as good - almost.
Just looked up what happened to Long, I see that he died of injuries in Sicily in WW2. His last correspondence to Owens was imploring him to find his son and tell him how it can be, how men can be together on Earth. Tragic 😔
I agree i think allied use ww2 to encoverage blacks on there side as thier existen threaten, because while man was be lynch in us and british uniform ,so now how can i trust white people???.
@@southpaw8040 edbro torres points is clearly what is he/ she write so dont act like you dont see it, in ww2 and before blacks was not appreciated or volved by country they was born, black americans it hard by hands of white in america, they had be kill in USA service men uniforms when they return on leave, had to walk miles home so we as black ppl cant deny this , as this is acts of history happening .owen jesse is greatest why he had overcome two wars , is skin and ww2 .
Erhard Milch , for one. He pretty much ran the Luftwaffe and the most successful air campaigns for the German war machine during WWII . There were a couple of others subsequently demoted upon discovery of Jewish heritage or failure to secure Aryan "blood certification" from der Fuhrher himself
The things is, Franklin D. Roosevelt snubbed Jesse too. Hitler at least gave Jesse a nod. FDR didn’t give him a phone call, a letter, nothing. He completely ignored his historic accomplishments.
You're Not That Guy You’re actually stupid 😂 I know Germany gets a bad rap and labels all WW2 German soilder a nazis which isn’t true most of them fought for Germany not for racist ideals. Hitler demanded the building of concentration camps and extermination camps also how is that not racist. Also in the video it clearly states Hitler and his followers felt hatred in them because of a black person winning the medals
For shame. American revisionist history. “Hitler didn’t snub me; it was our president who snubbed me... The president didn’t even send a telegram.” - Jesse Owens
He was basically forced to say that, when he tried to insist on letting Jews play the Olympics they lashed out and said that he'll do as hes told. He would probably get assassinated if talking bad to Hitler or Germany.
I didn’t realize how great of an athlete he was until I saw this I just assumed he only won 1 medal but to win 4 and also in both long jump and running is impressive
Hitler was so disgusted that a white man was beaten by a coloured man he left the stadium. Jesse opens was brilliant and put Hitler to shame my father was there and saw it all.
They forgot to mention that the US president didn't congratulate Owens upon his return to the US for the very same reasons. American documentaries are very selective in their account of events. They also failed to mention that Germany won most medals and won the whole olympics
Egon FDR needed southern conservative Democrats to vote for the New Deal that’s why he couldn’t publicly support Jessie Owens. His wife is famous for being a Civil Rights activist and she said after his death he had to hide his feelings for politically reasons
Either way, looking back it was expected that Hitler would not shake hands. It fits his narrative. But FDR on the other hand, it shows a side that people really don't want to see considering how effective of a leader he was for the US at the time.
@@karthikeyan-qn6qg well not really because Nazis are racist and racists have the same mentality with the Nazis so at the end the racists and the Nazis are like light blue and dark blue. Not the exactly same but still so much alike
Fun Fact: Jesse had to leave Germany early because he couldn’t go out of his hotel without being surrounded by hundreds of German citizens asking for his autograph
Carl Ludwig „Luz“ Hermann Long died in WW 2 in 1943 and wrote a letter to Jesse Owen's before. "Dear friend Jesse! ... I'm just afraid of dying for the wrong cause. I hope my wife and son will survive. I ask you, as my only friend outside of Germany, that you will visit them one day to tell them why I had to do this and how beautiful the time was, we lived together. Luz"
Indeed you are right. I think my wonderful country man Peter Norman took some heart from Luz Long, sadly Peter paid a big price for his support of black people in Mexico and first nations people here. I am less familiar with Luz Long, I hope he didn't experience anything like Peter Norman did here in my country that continues to struggle with racism now. Deutschland is eons ahead of us.
Racism was still prevalent in the United States, and he had difficulty finding work. He took on menial jobs as a gas station attendant, playground janitor, and manager of a dry cleaning firm. He also raced against amateurs and horses for cash. Imagine that... An American 4 Olympic Gold Medal holder... This was America...
My dad was there. As a 12 year old boy he was within bicycling distance of the stadium. He said the German people were very excited to see Jesse Owens athleticism and good sportsmanship, and one of the German athletes he competed against became a good friend. I have also read Jesse Owens biography, where he states that Hitler actually greeted him in a very friendly manner in public at the stadium, which my father also remembered.
@@JordanWilliams-ix2td - Yeah, it's the democrats & other globalist leftists that keep pushing racism to keep it alive because they are still racists at heart. They've merely tried to twist history - that exposes them as frauds - to paint their political rivals as racists instead. Lincoln was a Republican president that freed the slaves. Slavery thrived via democrats in the south AND the north. The difference is that the dems moved black people from rural plantations to urban ones - to farm them for votes while throwing scraps at them to keep them trapped on the govt plantation (at the expense of everyone else's taxes). Black people who leave that mentality generally do very well for themselves & are much more likeable & agreeable. They aren't constantly frustrated & stuck like rats in a cage like with the typical ghetto mentality (the same happens with poor white people who bought into the same BS & live off of welfare in trailer parks.) The leftists are pushing for "multiculturalism" isn't because they actually love minorities, but to put on a show for the public in order to gain support from useful idiots (lacking critical thinking skills) so that they can push for mass migration. With a steady influx of new voters who will get them into & keep them in power indefinitely. When they have an unbroken chain of voters, any protests & attempts to dethrone them will fail because of majority support. That's why it's happening all at once in Europe, Canada, the US & other leftist strongholds. Once they have power, they rob the land & people of wealth to maintain their own lifestyles at the cost of everyone else. This is how over 100 million people died last century - because of socialist greed & pretense. Every single socialist state has failed. Those that are still limping along are around not because of socialism itself, but that they also use capitalist elements. Capitalism gives the lower & middle class a chance at becoming wealthy. Of course there will be those that take advantage & run over others, but socialism guarantees that everyone will suck equally while only a tiny handful of people have real power & wealth.
@@MeanOldLady Are you really trying to say that Hitler and the Republicans aren't racist, and the Democrats are the real racists? If you are, you aren't doing the Republicans any favors by putting Hitler into the same camp as them.

“Hitler didn’t snub me. It was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.” - Jesse Owens, in Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler’s Olympics (Jeremy Schaap, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007)
When the music ended, (Owens) was led by an Olympic official from the field into the grandstand, and it seemed for a moment that, unlike Cornelius Johnson, he might be introduced to the Fuhrer. “There was considerable excitement in the press box when it looked as though local Jim Crow rules might be off to honor Owens’ victory,” Gallico wrote, “and in charge of an official, he was steered towards the box of Chancellor Hitler in which was also seated Herr Streicher, Germany’s number one hater.” The writers stood up from their seats to get a better view of the meeting that they thought was about to take place. “However,” Gallico wrote, minutes after sitting back down at his typewriter, “Owens was merely led below the honor box where he smiled and bowed and Herr Hitler gave him a friendly little Nazi salute; the sitting down one with the arm bent.” This was the moment Owens would later recall, then choose not to recall - the birth of the myth of Hitler’s snub.
FDR snubbed Jews not even allowing Mit Romneys dad to pay from his own pocket the money to bring over 10,000 Jews from Germany but FDR forbade it and even went so far as to say if any of the Latter Day Saints would bring them in illegally he was do everything within his power to destroy them. So it wasn't just the blacks who were given the short end of the stick. What about the Irish who were sold into slavery from Britain? A very famous sign in New York and other states. "No Irish Need Apply" it wasn't just a British sign it was all over and affected the Irish trying to get apartments. They sure didn't want to have Irishmen renting out an apartment then winding up in fights where the windows and doors were broken from Irish fights after getting rip roaring drunk.

I truly believe you don't want Blacks to succeed at all with that logic and it's obvious the only thing you care about is promoting a racist narrative. It's very depressing and anti-progress.
Watching this video makes me respect Jesse Owens so much more than I did. His beautiful words when he won the 100m, no posturing, no jingoism. It began to win the masses in the hotbed of inhumanity. Seeing him encouraged to victory by the honorable German athlete who told him how to win and smiled broadly like a good human being alongside Jesse in the face of his murderous master... So good! Seeing Jesse win even more gold, under protest, knowing his Jewish teammates were being snubbed and then being humbled in his triumph... Truly, a man for all ages!
Before Long died for the Germans in Italy, 1943 he even wrote a letter to Owens to tell him: Please watch out for my wife and son... and he wrote he may be dying for the wrong thing... So be criticised the German. What I think was a great act on his part tbh
"It is true that Hitler did not shake hands with Owens. In fact, he did not congratulate any gold medalists after the first day of competition on August 2, 1936. On the first day, Hitler met and shook hands with all the German gold medalists. (He also shook hands with a few Finnish athletes.) That night, Hitler left the stadium before African American high jumper Cornelius Johnson won his first gold medal; Hitler’s staff maintained that he had a pre-scheduled appointment. Hitler was reprimanded, and the head of the IOC, Henri de Baillet-Latour, told him that he could either congratulate all the gold medalists or none. Hitler chose to honour no one." The next day-August 3, 1936-Owens won his first gold medal in the 100-meter dash. Hitler did not meet or shake hands with Owens. That said, there are several reports of a salute or wave. According to sports reporter and author Paul Gallico, writing from Berlin, Owens was “led below the honor box, where he smiled and bowed, and Herr Hitler gave him a friendly little Nazi salute, the sitting down one with the arm bent.” Owens himself later confirmed this, claiming that they exchanged congratulatory waves. So, Owens was not personally snubbed by Hitler. However, Owens did feel that he had been snubbed by someone: U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. A month after the Olympic Games, Owens told a crowd, “Hitler didn’t snub me-it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.” Roosevelt never publicly acknowledged Owens’s triumphs-or the triumphs of any of the 18 African Americans who competed at the Berlin Olympics. Only white Olympians were invited to the White House in 1936. " Encyclopædia Britannica
It looks to me like the white German crowds liked Owens. Even German athletes liked Owens. I believe athletes and people who understand athletic competition, for the most part, respected each other.
Just to be clear, I was making a comment based on my observation of the video. While I don't condone racism, because from an evolutionary point of view, the genome is more robust if there is more diversity. But if people choose to be discriminatory, then I wouldn't have a big problem with it either, as long as they do not physically attack those they don't like. I certainly have experienced racism when first arriving to the US at a young age, and the racism would come from all sort of peoples: white, brown, black. But honestly, I've never taken racial slurs as much of an insult. Like everything in life, you win some, you lose some. It's more fruitful to take the winning hands and build on those and move on.

Haiden Geary technically it’s the 30’s and even if he stayed there, they would’ve still treated him nicely. The Germans (or should I say the nazi party specifically) had blacks that lived in france and had no major problem with them at all. Im saying they didn’t want the blacks in Europe to be in charge or treated them like superhumans, but they were respected just as much as the white Europeans. Hitler respected Owens for his feats/talents, he didn’t see him for his skin color

Luz Long telling Jesse Owens to "put a mark a foot behind the board" is a myth which has been proven wrong. The 05/08/1936 edition of german sports journal "Der Leichtathlet" stated *both* Luz and Owens qualified on their second try. It's true that Hitler refused to take a photo (in front of the press) with Jesse Owens and it's probably true that he didn't shake his hand. However, Hitler didn't shake *any* of the athletes hands after day one, because the olympic comittee told him to _"either congratulate everyone, or no one"_ . Hitler did, however, stand up and wave to Jesse Owens after winning the 100-m race. _“When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.”_ - Jesse Owens: The Jesse Owens Story, 1970 Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the other hand, never congratulated him. _“Hitler didn’t snub me - it was Franklin D. Roosevelt who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”_ - Jesse Owens: The Jesse Owens Story, 1970 Jesse Owens also stated post-war, that a photo of him and Hitler shaking hands *does* exist, which was confirmed by former journalist Siegfried Mischner who was at the even in 1936. "Siegfried Mischner, 83, said that Owens carried around a photograph in his wallet of Hitler shaking his hand before he left the stadium.

11:39 goes pretty much like "I haven't heard of J.O. before but when I saw him running he became an idol to me and that was an amazing feeling seeing a man of my skin color win."
The reason why people thought Hitler snubbed Owens was because early in the games, Hitler would only congratulate German medalist. When he was told he had to congratulate ALL medalists or none of them, he chose the latter option, in which Owens happen to win after. He basically 'snubbed' everyone.
@@kinghassy334 that is true and i agree. As a black male, conservative, i do not care if someone does not like me, just do not go about obstructing my chance to compete or perform.

Texas believes it can fly its flag just as high as the U.S. flag, but that was because the Alamo. However, the Alamo happened decades BEFORE the civil war, Texas was part of the confederacy and lost, which means they have no rights to fly their flag as high as the U.S. flag, but do not tell Texas that. They believe they never surrendered.

They did indeed& it's horrifying to contemplate that exploitation of the poorest and most oppressed Americans.

@Logic Without Emotion I'm American and I'm very aware Russia would have won WWII without any help. The war was lost after Germany didn't reach Moscow and then were defeated in Stalingrad.
I am so proud of Jesse Owen's winning accomplishments at the 1936 Olympics, although I was born in the 1940s and only knew about him when I was a little girl!
For the first time in most of these black athlete's lives, when arriving in Germany to compete, they were treated as athletes and equals. As Jesse Owens himself said later, Hitler did not snub him. ROOSEVELT did. No telegram of congratulation on his medals, and Owens was not invited to the White House when he returned. This was 1936. In Germany, the black athletes had no fear of intimidation or using separate facilities, of being ridiculed or reviled. They were treated as athletes along with the competitors from every nation. When they returned to 1936 America, there were still dangers just setting foot in America as a black man. Beatings and lynchings were an everyday reality. Not so in Germany. The "quotes" attributed to Hitler, were not accurate. The "snub" myth was what the media did then as it does now. Fake news existed then too and for the same reasons. Let's not forget also, that Germany won the majority of medals including gold. It is not historically accurate to portray these games as a defeat for Hitler and his Germany and a victory for black athletes. BOTH won.
Spades 101 I grow up being reminded about Hitler and his Nazi Germany's brutality. That is a fact. We don't need any reminder about it but, that doesn't change a fact that the news about Hitler snobbing Owens was a lie. Just saying.

There's a strange phenomenon that throughout time, words that are okay and socially acceptable become unacceptable and eventually derogatory. The same thing happened with the term colored people. But now it's somehow acceptable to say person of color or POC. Live long enough and you'll start to see language evolve, or devolve, depending on your outlook.
Hitler snubbing Owens is a legend. Hitler shook hands only with German winners and only in day one. Then the Olympic commitee told him that it was better he'd shake hands with all the winners or with none, and he chose to shake with none. Owens had been treated like all the non German winners, and most of the German ones. That doesn't mean that Hitler didn't show courtesy, Owens later recalled that, when he passed near the stands, after the 100m race, Hitler arose, waved his hand at him, and he waved back. According to some source (Siegfried Mischner) they even shake hands before Owens left the stadium. Long jumper Arturo Maffei (4th that day) recalled that, after the long jump competition, Hitler came down from the stands to congratulate the athletes, and personally greeted Owens. The German government send to Owens, like to all the winners, a congratulation letter after the games. Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the other hand, never congratulated him. “Hitler didn’t snub me - it was Franklin D. Roosevelt who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.” - Jesse Owens: The Jesse Owens Story, 1970
Wow what a shame you could literally claim that hitler was more courteous towards blacks then the president of the us at the time And hitler hated everything non German that’s just real sad
@@yeahokaylol9231 yeah but that was cause he was trying to take over the world which included Africa and the Middle East so they weren’t as much members of the German army as much as working for the German army

Owens is the greatest track and field athlete in Olympic history, regardless of race or nationality. When you think of great sprinters, his name comes up first. Luz Long befriended and congratulated Owens: both men showed far more class and maturity than their countries did.

@@JordanWilliams-ix2td - Yeah, it's the democrats & other globalist leftists that keep pushing racism to keep it alive because they are still racists at heart. They've merely tried to twist history - that exposes them as frauds - to paint their political rivals as racists instead.
Lincoln was a Republican president that freed the slaves. Slavery thrived via democrats in the south AND the north.
The difference is that the dems moved black people from rural plantations to urban ones - to farm them for votes while throwing scraps at them to keep them trapped on the govt plantation (at the expense of everyone else's taxes).
Black people who leave that mentality generally do very well for themselves & are much more likeable & agreeable. They aren't constantly frustrated & stuck like rats in a cage like with the typical ghetto mentality (the same happens with poor white people who bought into the same BS & live off of welfare in trailer parks.)
The leftists are pushing for "multiculturalism" isn't because they actually love minorities, but to put on a show for the public in order to gain support from useful idiots (lacking critical thinking skills) so that they can push for mass migration.
With a steady influx of new voters who will get them into & keep them in power indefinitely. When they have an unbroken chain of voters, any protests & attempts to dethrone them will fail because of majority support. That's why it's happening all at once in Europe, Canada, the US & other leftist strongholds.
Once they have power, they rob the land & people of wealth to maintain their own lifestyles at the cost of everyone else.
This is how over 100 million people died last century - because of socialist greed & pretense.
Every single socialist state has failed. Those that are still limping along are around not because of socialism itself, but that they also use capitalist elements.
Capitalism gives the lower & middle class a chance at becoming wealthy. Of course there will be those that take advantage & run over others, but socialism guarantees that everyone will suck equally while only a tiny handful of people have real power & wealth.

“Hitler didn’t snub me. It was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”
- Jesse Owens, in Triumph: The Untold Story of Jesse Owens and Hitler’s Olympics (Jeremy Schaap, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007)
When the music ended, (Owens) was led by an Olympic official from the field into the grandstand, and it seemed for a moment that, unlike Cornelius Johnson, he might be introduced to the Fuhrer. “There was considerable excitement in the press box when it looked as though local Jim Crow rules might be off to honor Owens’ victory,” Gallico wrote, “and in charge of an official, he was steered towards the box of Chancellor Hitler in which was also seated Herr Streicher, Germany’s number one hater.” The writers stood up from their seats to get a better view of the meeting that they thought was about to take place. “However,” Gallico wrote, minutes after sitting back down at his typewriter, “Owens was merely led below the honor box where he smiled and bowed and Herr Hitler gave him a friendly little Nazi salute; the sitting down one with the arm bent.”
This was the moment Owens would later recall, then choose not to recall - the birth of the myth of Hitler’s snub.
fuck democrats
this 'athlete' was really entitled. good job that the US president didn't bother with him
Man, I haven't seen a citation in a long time.
FDR snubbed Jews not even allowing Mit Romneys dad to pay from his own pocket the money to bring over 10,000 Jews from Germany but FDR forbade it and even went so far as to say if any of the Latter Day Saints would bring them in illegally he was do everything within his power to destroy them. So it wasn't just the blacks who were given the short end of the stick. What about the Irish who were sold into slavery from Britain? A very famous sign in New York and other states. "No Irish Need Apply" it wasn't just a British sign it was all over and affected the Irish trying to get apartments. They sure didn't want to have Irishmen renting out an apartment then winding up in fights where the windows and doors were broken from Irish fights after getting rip roaring drunk.

Watching this video makes me respect Jesse Owens so much more than I did. His beautiful words when he won the 100m, no posturing, no jingoism. It began to win the masses in the hotbed of inhumanity. Seeing him encouraged to victory by the honorable German athlete who told him how to win and smiled broadly like a good human being alongside Jesse in the face of his murderous master... So good! Seeing Jesse win even more gold, under protest, knowing his Jewish teammates were being snubbed and then being humbled in his triumph... Truly, a man for all ages!
that moment when Luz Long and Jesse Owens remained friends after this and Owens even served as best man at Luz's son's wedding
Max Schmeling paid for Joe Louis's funeral too.
Before Long died for the Germans in Italy, 1943 he even wrote a letter to Owens to tell him: Please watch out for my wife and son... and he wrote he may be dying for the wrong thing... So be criticised the German. What I think was a great act on his part tbh

We love the competition, games and sports because of these legends. J. Owens was a hero.
"It is true that Hitler did not shake hands with Owens. In fact, he did not congratulate any gold medalists after the first day of competition on August 2, 1936. On the first day, Hitler met and shook hands with all the German gold medalists. (He also shook hands with a few Finnish athletes.) That night, Hitler left the stadium before African American high jumper Cornelius Johnson won his first gold medal; Hitler’s staff maintained that he had a pre-scheduled appointment. Hitler was reprimanded, and the head of the IOC, Henri de Baillet-Latour, told him that he could either congratulate all the gold medalists or none. Hitler chose to honour no one."
The next day-August 3, 1936-Owens won his first gold medal in the 100-meter dash. Hitler did not meet or shake hands with Owens. That said, there are several reports of a salute or wave. According to sports reporter and author Paul Gallico, writing from Berlin, Owens was “led below the honor box, where he smiled and bowed, and Herr Hitler gave him a friendly little Nazi salute, the sitting down one with the arm bent.” Owens himself later confirmed this, claiming that they exchanged congratulatory waves.
So, Owens was not personally snubbed by Hitler. However, Owens did feel that he had been snubbed by someone: U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. A month after the Olympic Games, Owens told a crowd, “Hitler didn’t snub me-it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.” Roosevelt never publicly acknowledged Owens’s triumphs-or the triumphs of any of the 18 African Americans who competed at the Berlin Olympics. Only white Olympians were invited to the White House in 1936. "

Yes it is the Zio-media that writes this propaganda
Yes you are SO right. What Nation is the most racist? Racism is a learn behavior. What race is the most racist?
Just to be clear, I was making a comment based on my observation of the video. While I don't condone racism, because from an evolutionary point of view, the genome is more robust if there is more diversity. But if people choose to be discriminatory, then I wouldn't have a big problem with it either, as long as they do not physically attack those they don't like. I certainly have experienced racism when first arriving to the US at a young age, and the racism would come from all sort of peoples: white, brown, black. But honestly, I've never taken racial slurs as much of an insult. Like everything in life, you win some, you lose some. It's more fruitful to take the winning hands and build on those and move on.

He said that, having been simply a guest. He never lived in Europe, therefore he has no place to speak on who treated him better. Besides, it was the fucking 40s, you moron.
Haiden Geary technically it’s the 30’s and even if he stayed there, they would’ve still treated him nicely. The Germans (or should I say the nazi party specifically) had blacks that lived in france and had no major problem with them at all. Im saying they didn’t want the blacks in Europe to be in charge or treated them like superhumans, but they were respected just as much as the white Europeans. Hitler respected Owens for his feats/talents, he didn’t see him for his skin color

Luz Long telling Jesse Owens to "put a mark a foot behind the board" is a myth which has been proven wrong. The 05/08/1936 edition of german sports journal "Der Leichtathlet" stated *both* Luz and Owens qualified on their second try.
It's true that Hitler refused to take a photo (in front of the press) with Jesse Owens and it's probably true that he didn't shake his hand. However, Hitler didn't shake *any* of the athletes hands after day one, because the olympic comittee told him to _"either congratulate everyone, or no one"_ . Hitler did, however, stand up and wave to Jesse Owens after winning the 100-m race.
_“When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.”_ - Jesse Owens: The Jesse Owens Story, 1970
Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the other hand, never congratulated him.
_“Hitler didn’t snub me - it was Franklin D. Roosevelt who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”_ - Jesse Owens: The Jesse Owens Story, 1970
Jesse Owens also stated post-war, that a photo of him and Hitler shaking hands *does* exist, which was confirmed by former journalist Siegfried Mischner who was at the even in 1936.

However, the photo has never been made public, as Siegfried Mischner himself explained.

@@kinghassy334 that is true and i agree. As a black male, conservative, i do not care if someone does not like me, just do not go about obstructing my chance to compete or perform.

Texas believes it can fly its flag just as high as the U.S. flag, but that was because the Alamo. However, the Alamo happened decades BEFORE the civil war, Texas was part of the confederacy and lost, which means they have no rights to fly their flag as high as the U.S. flag, but do not tell Texas that. They believe they never surrendered.

So true.
You can't believe everything you watch either.
For the first time in most of these black athlete's lives, when arriving in Germany to compete, they were treated as athletes and equals. As Jesse Owens himself said later, Hitler did not snub him. ROOSEVELT did. No telegram of congratulation on his medals, and Owens was not invited to the White House when he returned. This was 1936. In Germany, the black athletes had no fear of intimidation or using separate facilities, of being ridiculed or reviled. They were treated as athletes along with the competitors from every nation. When they returned to 1936 America, there were still dangers just setting foot in America as a black man. Beatings and lynchings were an everyday reality. Not so in Germany. The "quotes" attributed to Hitler, were not accurate. The "snub" myth was what the media did then as it does now. Fake news existed then too and for the same reasons. Let's not forget also, that Germany won the majority of medals including gold. It is not historically accurate to portray these games as a defeat for Hitler and his Germany and a victory for black athletes. BOTH won.

Hitler snubbing Owens is a legend.
Hitler shook hands only with German winners and only in day one. Then the Olympic commitee told him that it was better he'd shake hands with all the winners or with none, and he chose to shake with none. Owens had been treated like all the non German winners, and most of the German ones.
That doesn't mean that Hitler didn't show courtesy, Owens later recalled that, when he passed near the stands, after the 100m race, Hitler arose, waved his hand at him, and he waved back. According to some source (Siegfried Mischner) they even shake hands before Owens left the stadium. Long jumper Arturo Maffei (4th that day) recalled that, after the long jump competition, Hitler came down from the stands to congratulate the athletes, and personally greeted Owens. The German government send to Owens, like to all the winners, a congratulation letter after the games.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the other hand, never congratulated him.
