I'm actually looking forward to Hitlers Birthday tomorrow. I'd make a factual thread about the good things Hitler did but Springer would have a
cow.
Facts are Hitler no matter the monster he became did do some good things for Germany and he did love his people and was a patriot to them - before he
became a monster. This is a fact even Springer can't cover up and hide. ( he has a thread detailing how it's not proper to talk about Hitler as
anything but a monster - I disagree)
My point - what does everyone tell you at a funeral? They say, don't remember the bad things the person did, remember the good things. Why is this
important in Hitlers case? Well for one, it puts Hitlers life into a more proper and factual historical context. It teaches us the motivations behind
the man that lead to his downfall. And , it's the right thing to do. You can't claim he was all monster all his life when it's not true. It's wrong to
ignore the good things he did as if he never did any good thing. That's akin to propaganda. That's denying ignorance.
I am not a white supremacist, nor a racist in any way. I look at this purely from a historical context. There are those who would have one believe
Martian Luther King was a saint. Even his own people did not agree always. A favorite black poet of mine named C.E. Cannon wrote a book of poems
published by the Broadside Press called St. Nigger.
www.amazon.com...=la_B001KMHBLS_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366400740&sr=1-1 The cover shows MLK about to get hit
with a bullet to the head ( at least on my original 1972 copy) . The poems are about how many in the black community saw how MLK's policies were
causing more harm to the black communities than good. They feel this is why he was killed.
