Originally posted by Wien_Sean: There are those who say that after WWII White America played up the Holocaust to take light off of this fact of American Slavery.
And there are those in racist circles inside White America and Lily-White Austria, Switzerland and Germany that claim that the Holocaust is entirely overblown and somewhat of a sham...
...ah, I almost forgot our pal running Iran has said the same thing.
The point is that slavery as a practice has pretty much been stomped out, but discrimination due to appearances or religious/cultural affiliation continues to this day and probably always will in one form or another.
tons of people say the holocaust never happened/is overblown. Not just "lily-white" countries and dictators. Not that Im saying its true, I think those people need to wake up to the fact people were gassed and cremated by the truck load.
and slavery as a practise, id say, is far from gone. Although it has changed identity. Now its more corporate slavery now more than anything.
