so what is next holocaust deniers?

Should there have been a comma between next and holocaust (denyers :shrug: )? I have personally seen a few ID tattoos. I know the holocaust happened. I'm afraid it's getting ready to happen again, albeit with a different target.

Thanks! I thought that was what you meant. :D


yep, I find that some people of certian heritages like to cover up with their ancestors did, with excuses, and placing the blame elsewhere.

Oh, I think that's pretty much universal.

I know it is, they make excuses while giving you the same racism they where brought up with

to get over it, you have to face it within yourself.

everyone is racist, to some degree, but to face it, and turn yourself against that type of thinking is a first step

Well, I could personally care less about race in general but I still have my shameful moments (Cadillac Escalade with 22 inch spinner chrome wheels?).

I am horrifyingly prejudiced against people who A) vehemently espouse a religion or B) say they're atheist without really understanding what it means. I no longer apologize for either, but I'm not proud of it.

not saying we are all "let's get a rope and lynch us a..." racist, but like the escalade with the 22 inch spinners, we all have pre-conseptions.

Actually been thinking on researching this....There are many people who deny it ever happened at all, which I find amazing....Think I'll spend a bit o' time and do that

Which is why I am trying to point out that not everything we read about either side is 100% accurate. That's usually the case when one is presented as completely evil and the other completely moral. But we don't like to think about that appluying in this case, do we?

Until you meet me, keep your racist accusations to yourself please. If you read my numerous posts on threads dealing with this, you will find that I am far from racist.

The last thing I want to do in this lifetime is cover up the noble deeds of my ancestors who defended their homes from invasion.
 
I believe there are 3 sides to a story. Yours, mine and the truth which is between. So I agree with the first statement you made about neither side is 100% accurate

never called you racist, said that flag you cherish somuch has become a symbol of racism.

don't think one was completely moral or the other completely evil, but I do beleive the wars big issue was slavery, and no hindsight spindoctoring will change that

Nor would the actual documentation from the period I suppose.

Invasion? It was a war in, on & about the United States.

During which one segment invaded another, brutalized its civilians, terrorized the very people they (now) claim to have been there to help, looted and ransacked private property for personal gain, attempted genocide, and covered it up quite nicely with shady legislative practices.

Or did you not want that said out loud?

Oh. You mean to say there was a war involved?
