so... basically the US were worse than the Third Reich?


Considering how slavery was a rather casual matter in the US, with everybody knowing about and most people positively advocating/endorsing it, while Nazis did their best to keep their crimes hidden, it seems to be a valid thesis after all.

Like even today, modern "Nazis" are denying the Holocaust, even though one might assume that it's something they should supposedly be proud of...

Uwinator, you're an idiot! You act like all German's are Nazi's and what allegedly happened there was much more blatant and sadistic than slavery. Let's don't forget too that American's didn't invent slavery, It's gone on since the dawn of man.

I don't know where you're from but some of the comments I see lead me to believe that the world loves to pretend that they're innocent and the U.S. is/was evil.

We're a big easy target for everyone's jealous condemnation. Jealousy of our position/status motivates everyone else to take shots at us.

I see Stupid People...

Well lets get two things straight.

1. A large amount of the *slaves* in the US were bought and paid for from BLACK African Tribes who SOLD them as captured enemies who if they were not bought by the US would have likely ended up dead or worse at the hands of their own *people*.

2. There are more WHITE slaves on earth right now this second there EVER was black slaves in the history of mankind (but nobody wants to talk about all the white slaves that exist in the world do they? nope no such thing as sex slaves! definately not (yea I'm sure picking cotton in a field is *worse* than being raped daily like what happens to WHITE girls today right now this second).

(As an interesting side note there are more black people in the US prison system (as prisoners) than there EVER was black slaves in the US)

Was the US bad for what it did? Sure it was (and hell the US is just sick, twisted, corrupted today doing all kinds of crazy stuff that makes MKUltra look like a walk in park) but what can you do about it? That was over a hundred years ago time to let it go.

If you want to ruffle feathers and cry about slavery go do something about slavery happening TODAY not 150~ years ago.

As for as bad as Nazi Germany? Well if we assume Germany did what we told they did (and it is impossible for you nor I to confirm as we was not there) then no what the US did with slaves a holiday inn compared to what Nazi Germany did.

Nazi Germany is said to have done the kind of human experiments and horric working conditions (such as building underground production sites) where average slave got to live for like 10-30 days compared to the slaves in US living often into old age.

So Nazi Germany to US comparison? Only for the uneducated.

Nope, white people all around are the worse, French collaborated, traded slaves, and colonised, so did Belgium, Germany and the rest of Europe.
US killed millions of native indians, traded and segregated millions of black and just killed millions of muslims.

Hey, I wondered if you knew this, because it seems you don't XD

The biggest slavers in the history of slavering are Muslims. The "Arab slave trade" predates the Atlantic slave trade by a good 700 years and absolutely dwarfs it in scale. There are countries today that still practice slavery and justify it through Islamic law.

reply

Yes. The sentiment is still there, hidden somewhere.

reply

No, some form of slavery and serfdom have been more of a norm than exception throughout history. The demented slaughter on industrial scale perpetrated by Nazis was something far more unusual.

reply

I think all black must have killed whites in that time. Blacks are more strong. america has always conspire with them to make them lower in their society. That time they were slave forcefully now amercican white supremicist has institutionalize everything to make blacks always slave. Black must revolt.

reply

You have a good point. And while the Nazis most certainly used the Jewish people as slaves (in labor camps), they were still not considered commodities that could be bought and sold. The Negros* were.



*) DISCLAIMER: I mean no offense by the word Negro. For me it only means a person of dark skin color.
