WHY?

Why are people racist?
Does it matter whether you're black or white, Jewish or German, English or African?
Why do people fight over a religion?
What is the difference between a Jew or a Christian?
Sure, they have different beliefs but everyone's the same.
Why was there a Holocaust?
Why couldn't the Nazis accept the Jews, the Gypsies, the disabled and other innocent people?
Why?
Why were these people discriminated against?
They're no different from anyone else.
Why could Hitler say these people should be wiped off the face of the earth?

How come he got to say what's what?
Why was there a war?
Something so small turned into a fireball of hate.
Why are there Neo-Nazis?
Why do the have to come back and destroy people's lives again?
Why?
