As Florida county bans Holocaust book, actual neo-Nazis grow bold in U.S. - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

22. I grew up in a heavily German neighborhood

Now, my own heritage is Teutonic (some of my best friends are German, heh), but a local restaurant hosted meetings of the German-American Bund, and the little old lady down the street saved a box of Nazi propaganda. Balance this against the heavily anti-slavery German immigrants who fled the crackdown on the Euro socialist revolutions of 1848. Nothing is black and white. But the 13 colonies had some terrible practices. One of the driving forces for the US Revolution was GIII's 1763 order to stay east of the mountains and leave the Indians alone. Couldn't have that tyrannical imposition on our Freedoms, now, could we? We needed Lebensraum. Hitler thought of the Slavs kinda how the US thought of Indians, and practiced a campaign of Slav extermination across Eastern Europe. Something worth remembering.

Are we going backwards or finding our roots?
We can't change history but we can change the future.
