@AlliFlowers what are you talking about, that's true. In Mein Kampf, Hitler talks about how much he admires America for creating the Jim Crow society based on excluding certain races. He greatly admired segregation laws and the reservation system for Native Americans and modeled many of his policies on those things. There are several books about it. bookshop.org/p/books/hitler-s-

@Jennifer Hitler did not get Mein Kampf from the Jews. Do you not read?!

@AlliFlowers Is this a troll account? I said in Mein Kampf he talks about his admiration of American policies to keep minorities separate from white people. He used American laws about Black people and native Americans as inspiration for his laws to oppress the Jews in Germany.

@Jennifer She believes Blacks are the only ones who have ever been oppressed. This is no the first time she’s pulled this.

@AlliFlowers I see her posts sometimes. I think the Holocaust was the worst thing that's happened in modern history. But America did a lot of really bad things that inspired Hitler. That doesn't make the Holocaust any less horrific.

@Jennifer She will never admit that. She only sees black and white. And because Jews are white, we can’t possibly have been through anything as bad as them.

@AlliFlowers learning about the Holocaust when I was in high school got me interested in WWII history. I didn't understand how anyone could do such horrific things to other people. I've done an awful lot of reading about Hitler's rise to power and all that but 35+ years later still don't understand how the world let it happen. Kinda frightening to see so many parallels now.

@Jennifer I spent my life wondering how the German people could allow it to happen, but now I see clearly. There is nothing we can do. The law is broken. And there are too many people who feel they *must* have someone beneath them, to look down on.
