Considering that the holocaust happened during the lifetimes of people currently alive, such an example wouldn't be exactly on-point.

And to be fair, the Holocaust was quite similar to slavery in its barbaric nature and for the most part, the Jewish folks have moved on. Do they remember? Yes. Is it an outrage? Sure.

Do they kvetch about the chains and gas chambers holding them back today? Not so much.

My earlier comments aren't aimed at all black people in the world. Just the hyperbolic fella who kept referring to slave masters and chains and whatnot.

Since you missed my sarcasm, my post says "antisemitism, the First Crusade, the Holocausts, and the different accounts of Judaism and Christianity." The collective began over a thousand years ago.

As a lesson to Kevin, the Holocaust happened during the lifetimes of some Jews who are still alive just as remnants of the TransAtlantic Slave Trade like Jim Crow Laws, racial hangings, Colored only drinking fountains, and the 1960s Civil Rights Movement happened during the lifetimes of many people of the African Diaspora who are still alive.

I'm ignoring that other dumb stuff you typed about Jews because you are ignorant.

No, I will not allow you to pretend that you were only blasting Andre Turner's perspective and the sometimes harsh wording of his posts. Your comments are directly and indirectly aimed at people of the African Diaspora who think about, talk about, and conduct research and community activism for the types of things that Andre Turner said in his posts. That includes me and for that I say "FUCK YOU."

Noncoincidentally, there are nonBlack people around the world who think about, talk about, and conduct research and community activism regarding such topics and they are rarely told to shut up and get over it. Most of the research and literature on the history of Christianity in the African Diaspora, the TransAtlantic Slave Trade, and images of "black" and "white" are conducted by white people. White privilege allows those white researchers, white writers, and white community activitists to be considered educated, neutral, and rational observers rather than Blackass complainers. That fact supports much of what Andre Turner is saying.

It will be interesting to see how this changes in the next 20 years or so, since the number of those who were actually in the camps that are still alive is falling quickly and those who were guards or in other ways responsible is falling even more quickly. (since there are survivors who were under age 18 in the camps, but very unlikely to be any guards that were so)
