Because of systemic racism, Black American soldiers and sailors were not allowed to do complex technical jobs in the military like flying fighter planes.
This statement is false. Black American soldiers were indeed subject to systemic racism and discrimination in the military, including restrictions on the types of jobs they could hold. However, there were Black fighter pilots and other Black military personnel who served in complex technical roles during World War II and in subsequent conflicts. The Tuskegee Airmen, for example, were a group of Black fighter pilots who served with distinction during World War II.
