When I read a jaw-dropping statement like that one, Google is required. Those top links are also included here. For once, they appear before Wiki and the equivalent of whitenationalism.com.
That says to me that people are reading about this issue, even if it's not part of our national dialogue. I think Rachel Maddow should take up this topic and educate us all -- that Hitler repeatedly looked to the United States to justify his policy of rounding up the Jews and gassing millions.
Articles include How American Racism Influenced Hitler; Why the Nazis Loved America; and White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots.
It's been almost two years since I got it into my mind to move to Virginia with a keen desire to be part of the New South. That move is really taking shape now, finally, with the oppty to live in a brand new, super special set of buildings not in Virginia Beach but Norfolk, next door.
This move will allow me to become a swing voter in VA in time for the presidential election. While the move is inspired by VA's vibrant arts community in Norfolk, as well as in VB, I deliberately want to live where slavery first began in America. I want to soak up that poison and repurpose it, take responsibility for it and -- yes-- to fight for my vision of America.
As my friend Christine Turner said, "Honey if you want to confront the beast, you can't come to Alabama. You will lose your mind here. If I consider the options, I think Virginia is a perfect choice for you."
To read this morning that Hitler cited America as his idealized society, I am humiliated and heartbroken. But that is just another motivation to fight for my vision of what is right -- and especially in the time of Trump. ~ Anne
