re: #318 Obdicut

It does make us better. Very much so.

We didn’t set out to commit genocide against a race. We didn’t industrialize a process to do that. We didn’t rationalize it in a thousand different ways.

It is terrible that we tortured. But there is no comparison between us and the Nazis, any more than there is a comparison between Lincoln, as someone who made some iffy constitutional moves, and Hitler.

You are correct, but I didn’t get that was what she was saying. As to organizing genocides, America’s genocide against the native tribes was different than the one the Germans tried on us. America’s genocide was more successful. Just ask a Susquehanna or Conestoga Indian - of course you can’t because they are all dead to the last man, woman and child.
