(885 posts)and I'd be terrible as a writer. I'm way too blunt and not overly eloquent with words as you can tell.
Still to say there is nothing backing my view is rediculous. Go look at a history book about WWII. Go read up on the holocaust. There have literally been thousands, if not millions of academic papers, news articles, and position papers on the effects of white supremists on jews. It may be the most discussed tragedy in history.
You can't decide what's offensive to other groups. I can't decide what's offensive. Even academics can't. Only the group itself can.
Just so there's no confusion, I'm not Jewish, I'm a Deist. However I have family that's Jewish. I talk regularly with them on all matters of subjects. It's not hard to see how strongly their views are on the matter at hand. These people who usually have a strong loud view on anything just clam up when the conversation leads that way. Just because a person doesn't lash out about something doesn't mean it doesn't effect them.
