I didn't say all. That's your thinking. But I do think that when an investigative report has to have all mentions of the Saudis blacked out by the President to protect them, that the image is not going to change. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
The case with the black college is different. That is pure racism in and of itself. What would be the flip side of a black college? It's an institution - not really an exposure to a culture.
The Jewish people that do spout off words of hate against all muslims and christians are terrorists as well. So is the case of Christian fundamentalists, Indian nationalists that attack the minority Muslims, etc. In the case of the Holocaust, there can never be anything to make up for it but there can be efforts made to at least mollify the situation which happened.
She has every right to be on the radio. I don't see where she even used the word "all". To you is there even a possibility that a culture itself, not the people, could be at fault?

All I'm trying to say is that it accomplishes absolutely nothing to say that all Muslims are murderers. Because that in and of itself is a lie. Not all Muslims are murderers. Saying that they are promotes racism.
When I was in middle school, they took us on exploratory visits to local colleges around the Baltimore area. There was a big fuss because some of the parents refused to allow their children to see the campus of Coppin State, a historically black college. It's the same thing - WHAT does that accomplish? Versus what would be hurt by letting young people see things that are different from what they know or are used to??
And what bad places are you talking about? Where would you have people take them? I've been to the Holocaust museum before. That doesn't mean I hate Germans. And I'm sure many Jewish people have been to the Holocaust museum, or have family who suffered through the Holocaust. Should Jewish people hate ALL Christian people? No. That's ridiculous, and the fact that there is a person spouting off nonsense like that on the radio is, to me, ridiculous. And irresponsible.
