"Just some thoughts for all those who have posted [to HopeSite] -

We love to join the 'we would never let that happen again' bandwagon... but I wonder if we are really being honest with ourselves. Hitler did not introduce the persecution of Jews as death camps, rather it began slowly with exclusion and different rights for those who were Jewish... and you can't tell me we don't have that type of thing here in America; everyone is NOT equal. The German people were not seeing Auswitz when Hitler began persecution (with racial laws...) they just saw the Jews as "different"...

To scream that we live in a different society is true in a lot of ways, don't get me wrong - to say that because we live in interacially diverse communities (which I question greatly... how many whites live in the ghettos?) makes us more understanding is not neccesarily true... I am not predicting that we will call for racial cleansing, but I do think we need to be careful when we say that this could never happen to us... there is not one who is not in someway biased and until even that is gone, we are in danger of the same type of fate as Germany.

Just some thoughts to ponder - I am glad to see that people are thinking and
speaking out on this, one of the most important topics of our time..."
