Excerpt...
The irony that lies in this situation is the fact that Adolf Hitler studied many of the United States policies implemented against American Indian people, as models for how he would deal with Jewish people. He studied the plans of Bosque Redondo, the concentration camp where over 8,000 Navajo men, women and children were sent after the Long Walk in 1864. According to, John Toland, Pulitzer Prize winning author, in his book Adolf Hitler (pg. 202) wrote: Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's exterminationby starvation and uneven combatof the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.
Hitler studied how the Native population rapidly declined due to starvation and disease when placed on reservations. There are so many parallels one can draw from Nazi and American Indian history-- including death marches of Jewish people to concentration camps and the Navajo Long Walk and the many Native American Trails of Tears. The parallel of Nazis destroying Jewish art, music and books and burying people in mass graves and the Wounded Knee Massacre where generations of people and their knowledge, were also buried in a mass grave. My aunt Ethleen Iron Cloud-Two Dogs once said, We can never measure the loss of language, stories, and culture we experienced when our relatives were buried that day
David E. Stannard, author of American Holocaust, argues that the genocide against the American Indian population was the largest genocide in history. Though it is hard to pinpoint an exact number of American Indian deaths since Columbus arrival, it has been estimated at anywhere from 10 million to a little over 100 million.

(11,742 posts)The thread however, is about whether the idiot business owner's actions in selling the yellow Star of David, drawing comparisons between mask mandates and the Holocaust are reflective of America. The answer is yes. We have a horrible racial and ethnic history. From Slavery, to the expulsion of Indigenous people from their lands, to our constant interventions and interference with other countries throughout the world since our beginnings as a nation. America has set itself up as a land of freedom, equality, and the blending of cultures, and peace but it has not lived up to its ideals.
If the thread was about whether something reflected Turkish values, I would likely have used Hitler's inspirations from the Armenian Genocide to say that yes, bigotry and ethnic animosity appeared to be part of Turkey's national character.

The crazy is very very strong here in Tennessee and its safe for it to come out in the open. This hat company will profit from this, and we all know that money is the true God in red America.
Nashville isnt the blue oasis it was a few years ago.
