If this V sign means that to those now engaged in this great conflict, then let we colored Americans adopt the double W for a double victory. The first V for victory over our enemies from without the second V for victory for our enemies from within. For surely those who perpetuate these ugly prejudices here are seeking to destroy our democratic form of government just as surely as the Axis forces. - James G. Thompson

James G. Thompson, in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier in 1942, demands double victory and not just one because of the symbolic emphasis placed on V for Victory during that world epoch.

As the Second World War raged on, James G. Thompson wanted to know if America could secure double V or victory over the enemies without and within so that the next generation could live in peace, devoid of racial discrimination.

Thus, the quote shows that soldiers of color fighting alongside American whites witnessed unnecessary discrimination, notwithstanding fighting for justice.
