we pretend As Americans that we went to the movies after the second world war and shock horror horror we discovered what was happening there were 3,000 articles in the newspapers in the United States in 1933 alone about the mistreatment of Jews in Germany and that’s the first year and they haven’t yet by the way gone to the American South in like 34 35 to develop these discriminat laws against Jews uh the nberg codes by studying our Jim Crow laws and when we protested their treatment of Jews in the 30s they would look at us and go Mississippi

  1. And we have states now that are reducing/eliminating so much history in schools – so dangerous – being uncomfortable is part of learning our full good-bad past… And this particular part of history has not been taught in public schools that I know of.

  2. Hillary Clinton accepted the Margaret Sanger Award, a woman who promoted birth control and abortion specifically to eliminate black people and other minorities.

  3. Burns is known to not present balanced points of views.
    It happens often in his films.
    While, he doesn't lie, outright, his omissions amounts to lies – because they fail to present balanced and instead a predetermined narrative he wants to portray.

  4. I don’t know of any nation that doesn’t have a lot of blood on their hands. Not saying there isn’t, I just don’t know of any. Seems pretty damming for the human race
    It’s hard to learn history when there are three versions to every story. No one has mentioned in the comments that only one nation has used atomic weapons in a war but the spin on that is that it saved lives. All I know is that some distance from Hiroshima there was a frozen pizza that was cooked perfectly.
    In summary, we suck as a species. Hopefully we will grow and evolve into a better less toxic species. I know I mellow as I mature

  5. I am aware America has made mistakes but let’s look at other cultures around the world. In comparison we have faired much better than others and helped more than others

  6. The Jim Crow Laws didn’t have 6 million blacks packed in trains and sent off to concentration camps to be starved tortured and executed. America didn’t try to wipe the existence of blacks from the earth, although the Democrats (KKK) tried. Is the point of your assertion to somehow draw a parallel to the treatment of Jews during the holocaust with the treatment of blacks by the democrats in the south? Both were bad but one was infinitely worst than the other.

  7. That is tantamount to me bending my finger so far back that it breaks then warning you about bending your finger back. You then remind me that I did it so it’s ok for you to do it. I don’t see this man’s point really.

  8. The master plan was after they got rid of the jews, sexual deviants, and mentality ill, they would get rid of the Polish, Russians, excedra, excedra, till they came for you!

  9. America turned ships away, carrying hundreds of thousands of Jews, fleeing Europe.. Roosevelt is the one that turned the ships away while the Irish and the Italians, and everybody else was able to come in

  10. Wow. Except in Germany today the gov doesn’t try to hide or defend their Nazi heritage, but in the US today the gov doesn’t want school age children learning that Southern while landowners were racist and had slaves

  11. The Kelloggs Cereal Company in Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo Michigan created Jim Crow Laws that were based on the Kelloggs founder study of the Mentally Feeble he molded this study after Slave laws to produce white purity in America. Then those studies became law here in Michigan and all over the United States know as Jim Crow Laws. One of the was a black man marring white women. This was not allowed because the Negro was considered inferior to whites this creating non white pure babies and society. All of this from the Kelloggs company I. Which Hitler and Dr. Gooble Ph.d molded their laws on. For more on this go watch PBS documentary The American Experience.
