    The Nazi’s looked at US segregation laws to figure out how to remove civil rights from certain groups. Hitler bad, but at that period of time talking to a white woman was a lynching for a black man in Amurica.

    That didn’t stop until 1981.

        Maybe?

        But I had a black student refuse to drive in a car to a retreat in NC because the other occupants were white girls. That was 2000. That was the camel’s back moment that told me it was time to leave the USA.

      Yeah people who didn’t live through it often don’t realize we (USA) didn’t invade Germany to end the Holocaust; we did it because they declared war on us and we wanted to stop them from killing more Americans.

      If Germany had minded their own genocide of minorities and borders, the US (and many other countries) probably never would have intervened.

        uh, no. Americans only got interested in WW2 after US investments in England were being threatened.
