SophiaGrace said:It also dumbfounds me how americans can get away with such atrocities as slavery and the genocide of millions of innocent Native Americans, and still, STILL, we are not seen as evil, like the Nazi's are.
I think the evil label subscribe to the germans is utterly ridiculous when we had lynchings here, the slave trade involved chaining peopl eup in the bottom of lightless boats, the trail of tears, the internment camps for the japanese, the bomb we dropped on japan, we've done sterilizations on "incompetents" here.
hm.
We aren't so innocent, sorry.
The similarities are there for anyone that wants to see them.
Both USA and Germany reamin guilty of the greatest genocides of the 20th century. Germany causing more deaths, in a more direct manner, with a clear objective. They were judged and condemned for their crimes. Public opinion judges them harshly. USA has many kills as well tough probably not as many (is that even relevant?), the objective is perhaps not as clear and more complex. They weren't judged for most of their crimes. Military and political power, as well as cultural dominance prevents them to be judged as harshly.
