In reply to the discussion: Nearly two-thirds of white women in Alabama voted for accused child molester Roy Moore [View all]Sophia4
(3,515 posts)this board that I was unaware of. I've lived in Germany and Austria, but I never knew that "sub-human" was a term associated with NAZIs. It's a translation, of course, of a German word, so I would not recognize it, not being a student of NAZI terminology.
I think the German word might have been "Untermenschen." Sub-human is a translation but very far from the German word in sound and connotation for me.
So if "sub-human" as a term offends you, please substitute some other word that expresses the idea that Alabamans are set in their antebellum ways and really don't want to live in a world in which they view their fellow human beings as their equals.
They claim to read the Bible and to be Christian, but apparently the meaning of the story of the Good Samaritan is lost on them.
And when Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me," well, maybe they interpret that differently than I do too. I cannot imagine someone doubting the word of the women who came forward about Roy Moore. And I cannot understand how they could vote for someone who stands for Moore's views on our Constitution and the role that religion should have in our society.
