I hate when people bring up the holocaust, slavery, and the entitlement of minorities. These whole subjects piss me off, mainly because in today’s society no one really know anything outside of what is taught in school, if you counter a point like how horrible the holocaust was, you are automatically an evil person going to that special place in hell. It’s sad that it happened but it pisses me off because the future generations are still woe is me and as rough as they had it, someone else always has it worse. Let me break it down to a personal level, 6 million Jews killed that is nothing compared to the 150 million Native American killed, that isn’t even counting the relocation and land allotment. Oh and Black nation, I got news for you assholes, you got citizenship and rights way before my people did. African Americans Citizenship 1866, Native Americans Citizenship 1924. Even our religion wasn’t legalized until the 70’s. You never see my people complaining about what happened to us or making an uproar about this and that, we don’t have an Al Sharpton. Moral of the story, quit bitchin and move on, you didn’t experience, you can’t complain...Read a book for fuck sake.

Speaking as a practicing Jew who has talked with several Holocaust survivors, I don't think that it's the actual body count of the Holocaust that was the most terrifying thing. I think it's the ways they were killed that truly terrifies most people. They were not regarded as people but as rats to be exterminated. Their lives were less valuable than the bugs beneath their feet. The methods that killed them were evil beyond comprehension. I know that the numbers of Jewish dead are not even close to those of the Native American dead, but the personal connection has always made them more meaningful to me. (Not to mention the fact that anti-Semitism is still very much at large) /endbiasedrant
