Back to talking about the thread before Psyduck decides to kick me again.

We should not limit ourselves to to Hitler's sad regime. There are many other instances in world history that shows one race dominating another. And it goes far back. The might is right thingamajig. There was the slave trade; the Spannish obbliteration of the native Americans, which was continued by the neo-native Americans; the British rule over the Indian sub-continent; the decline of the Aborigines in Australia; Apartheid, the sanctioning of racial segregation in South Africa; The Iraqi domination of the Kurds, and indeed, sadly, what has followed thereon..I can continue. Each of these unfortunate episodes had central figures leading the insanity, some unlike Hitler, or Voldemort in this case, were clever enough to mask their intentions. So why are we stuck on one pathetic example in the Third Reich.

If I have hurt anyone's feelings, I am sincerely sorry. That was not my intention. The thread has led itself in this direction.
