Today few Americans will pay homage to or care about what happened on December 7, 1941
On December 7, 1941, 353 Japanese warplanes launched from six aircraft carriers attacked the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, sinking four battleships, seriously damaging four others, sinking or damaging eight other warships, and destroying 188 U.S. warplanes.
2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Nearly half of the casualties occurred on the battleship USS Arizona which blew up and sank after being hit by four Japanese bombs.
Today few Americans will pay homage to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Instead, hundreds of thousands and thousands will pay homage to two African-Americans who died at the hands of the police, one a dope smoking thug and the other a career criminal with a record of 31 arrests. What a downright dirty shame!
