As you say ...... whites have a wide variety of cultural interests.
We have tended to divide along cultural lines. It took a long time to sell Europe on a larger identity for that reason, to the extent it was sold.
There are a lot that think the holocaust stats are overblown.
There are people who think blacks are animals and that we've never been to the moon. A lot of the Holocaust denier or modifier business was peddled by people who didn't want accountability, or whose bias was partly responsible for what happened. You know, we turned away Jews trying to flee that persecution. And our leaders had a fairly clear idea what was starting to happen over there. Anyway, those people understand that if you hand some a conspiracy they'll eat it like candy. All the more readily gobbled if it plays to the worst part of their ethnocentric impulse in relation to the other.
I don't, although I think the ones that suffered and were not Jews feel a little offended that when most folks hear "holocaust" they think it was about the Jews only.
They need to educate themselves. Hilter intended to wipe the Jews from the face of the earth, but he also stated his intention to get rid of the Poles, the Roma Gypsies among others, like gays and any active opposition, like the JWs.
I don't think these folks in the video give a hoot if anyone agrees.
I think they understand propaganda. You play to the convinced and drive a wedge with the margins if you can.
And I've now been called racist so much that I no longer care if any of my comments upset your sensibilities anymore.
Well I not only haven't, I was surprised and disappointed to hear you actually praise a point contained within that filth, in any context.
And I don't care if you watch any of the videos I have posted.
If that's the gist, one would have done.
These sentiments are out there, and I think it's a good idea people know about it whether it offends us or not.
I'm fine with combating a thing and even giving an example of what it is we're combating. But there's a thin line between that and giving that a platform and it warrants serious discussion and consideration. I think we can discuss the racist without inviting him to give a stump speech.
And I do agree that this "white guilt" attitude has gotten way way way out of hand to the point of being ridiculous.
I think it's one of those phrases that's too broad. I doubt many Japanese are alive and in power who had anything to do with Pearl Harbor, but I don't want Jack to forget what was done in the name of imperialism, how dangerous a concentration of power can be without checks and balances. I know that few people in power had anything to do with opposing the Civil Rights Movement, but I don't want him to forget about what happens when we fail to live up to our principles.
So it depends on what, in particular, is meant.
