Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his speech "Four Freedoms", in 1941, mentioned some things that can be considered inconsistent with the US policy, because when he says: 1) "The need of the moment....is to meet this foreign peril. For our domestic problems are now a part of the great emergency" and 2) "Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity ofall our fellow men..." are not consistent with all the discriminatory practices blacks faced at that time.
