Question:

Does it seem like African Americans are still more upset over the Civil War than Jewish people are over WWII?

Do you think the African American community expresses more outrage over how their people were treated during the civil war than the Jewish people do over WWII with Hitler - and that war was much more recent.

Since people do hold onto these things, who would you think has more of a right to be upset - over slavery or over the brutal killings in WWII

  1. Well the Jews don't blame all of their problems on the holocaust, and that was a lot more recent.  Whites have done everything in their power to make blacks equal, yet they still sit there with there hands out saying it is still going on.  How long does it take one group of people to get their act together? Sorry they get no sympathy from me.


  2. I think you misunderstand our issues.

  3. I don't think you can draw meaningful comparisons between 2 holocausts, nor should you.

    But the black holocaust is still going on.

  4. YES!...I NEVER HEAR ANY JEWS COMPLAIN ABOUT WWII

    AND THAT WAS WAY WORSE THAN THE CIVIL WAR!

  5. Sorry.  Your question makes little sense.

    The "right to be upset" over slavery or the Holocaust is absolute and not comparable.  Your question is like asking which of two things is "more unique."  Something either is, or is not, unique.  There's no such thing as more unique.  Jews have a right to be upset over the attempted genocide of their people.  African Americans have a right to be upset over the enslavement of their ancestors.  Neither has more of a right to be upset than the other.

    I find your question offensive, not just because it makes little sense, but because of your bias.  It is obvious, by your word choice and the way you set up your question, that you are implying that African Americans do not have as much of a "right to be upset" as Jews do.  It's disgusting to trivialize the suffering of both groups by pitting one against the other and by writing such things as "[s]ince people do hold onto these things."
