Date: 2013-01-09 09:10 am (UTC)De Gaulle's initial refusal was entirely to due to wanting to keep his authority and not wanting to have his command thrown in disarray by the Allies even a little, I'm reasonably sure, and certainly didn't have anything to do with the man's stance on racism, as he personally was quite a racist. /mind-reading a dead historical figure.

"We are going to war against the butchers who invaded my country, destroyed half of Europe and are trying to conquer the world, and you want to to leave behind 2/3 of my army???"

That's what he ended up doing, the black soldiers were switched to the First Armoured Division. Which, yeah, common sense, but also a lot of political implications.
But I also think trying to ascertain his authority on what was then the French army, as opposed to that of the Americans, was also basic common sense, especially for de Gaulle, who fought teeth and nails to make France as non-dependant on the US as he could. ...I have mixed feelings about that man.
