19. Well said!!

I don't think that even people on DU understand this well enough.

Racial Laws in AMERICA were part of the basis for what the Nazis did in Germany. Rachel Maddow also did an excellent podcast "Ultra" on just how much influence the German government in the 1930's and 40's had in the United States with several prominent politicians openly siding with the Nazis and several violent coup plots being planned and even attempted. No one ever got in trouble for that, except for losing elections and fading into obscurity.

We have NEVER reckoned with our own past of White Supremacy in the United States. We have not fully dealt with the FACT that Africans were brought here and BRED for slavery here. We have never reckoned nor do I think most people know that the government attempted to genocide entire groups of Indigenous people.

The legacy of those things are still with us today, while so many of us talk about "America is the greatest country on Earth!"
