WW2 ended over 80 years ago. Almost everyone who fought in that war has died. Outside of blatant, naked racism, there was no point in this action. There was nothing to be gained from taking those plaques down, but much to lose.
What do the people of the Netherlands think about losing this acknowledgement of the sacrifice these black soldiers made to help free their people from Nazi tyranny?
This is just another example of the moral depravity and spiritual bankruptcy of the current administration.
