How about it, dixie
the president’s four freedoms appeal to me.
i would like to see those freedoms come to be.
if you believe in the four freedoms, too,
then share ’em with me—
don’t keep ’em all for
looks like by now folks ought to know
it’s hard to beat hitler protecting jim crow.
freedom’s not just to be won over there.
it means freedom at home, too—
now—right here!
—langston hughes, 1942
in this poem, what is langston hughes’s criticism about united states foreign policy during world war ii?

african americans don’t care about the four freedoms mentioned by president roosevelt

claims of fighting for democracy abroad are inconsistent with segregation at home.

involvement in world war ii is not in the best interest of the united states.

the democratic principles of the united states are best kept at home.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
