- Summary
-
Illustrates discrimination against blacks both on and off U.S. military bases. Emphasizes that prior to the Vietnam War, there were no blacks in Saigon, but now a black man often is labelled "nigger." Points out that white soldiers can wear cowboy clothes and listen to country and western music, but dashikis are illegal for blacks and soul music can start a barracks brawl. Includes on-location interviews with black servicemen and Pentagon officials.
