    You have to choose between being a Jewish person in a concentration camp or an African American Slave( during the time when slavery was everywhere). You know in due time you would die if you chose the Jewish route and you would be someone else's property for your entire life if you took the slave route. If I took the slave route I would try escaping or killing my master, but if I had to spend my entire life as African American Slave I think I would rather be a Jewish person in a concentratin camp.

    What is your decision and why?

    I find your question to be heaped in irony since its the jews of today who are heading every single organization that are controlling the blacks; they're even heading the (NAALCP) or the National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People. The jews and the blacks overwhelmingly register and vote Democrat, and thus since both groups as you mentioned have had troubled pasts with slavery for the blacks and concentration camps for the jews--then is it any wonder both groups feel the need to push for entitlements and for wealth redistribution from the WHITE population who they still haven't forgiven for their past sins. Lest we forget that its also the jews who are heading the push to eliminate all vestiges of Christianity in the West, and its the more outspoken blacks like jessie jackson and his son who are trying their best to revise our history and revise our Constitution to suit their own selfish and minority views.
    So I don't see where the blacks of today have progressed much since the slave days, and I don't see where the jews have changed much from their communist days in the Soviet Union of destroying Christianity and Christians to today's jews who are doing the same through devious legal actions. So I guess its a tossup as who would have have the better lifestyle..the enslaved blacks or the anti-Christian zionist jews.

    not entirely sure. To be honest, I am not entirely sure how unpleasant the life of a typical slave actually was. I am guessing some of them had it much harder than others.
    So I will say I would rather have been a slave. But maybe with all that hard work and 16 hour days without any free time, I would rather just sit around lazily in a concentration camp. Some of those concentration camps were really not so bad (each one was different). Towards the end of the war, there was a severe food shortage, so I would have to consider starvation as a potential factor.

    So I suppose if I was feeling lazy and suicidal, it would be the concentration camp. If I was feeling hard working and really valued life, I would be a slave.

    Slavery is not comparable to the Holocaust and what was unfair about slavery in America was that white indentured servants were eventually freed after five years while only few African slaves could gain freedom but slavery was no more harsher than serfdom in Russia and Eastern Europe, which existed until the mid-19th century. In 1857, the number of private serfs in Russia was 23.1 million out of 62.5 million Russians, 37.7% of the population, and 29%-47% of the American South's total population were slaves in 1860 and Russian and Eastern European serfs vastly outnumbered African slaves at the time.

    Both the choices are incredibly awful, but the African-American slave has the slight advantage of knowing he is a piece of property and therefore his master has an incentive to keep him alive. The Jew in the concentration camp has no such assurance; in fact, the incentive for his captors to kill him one way or another is quite strong.

    I think it's incredible that either were realities. Humans have an unbelievable capacity for harming fellow humans. And down deep in the human psyche, I'm pretty certain that capacity is about the same as ever. It's just a matter of enough people being placed into the right set of circumstances and we'll see just how civilized we REALLY are.

    It is a bit like choosing between Russian 'Communism' and McCarthyite 'Democracy'. Ohne mich. Power stinks: fight it!

    I am curious as to what is supposed to be accomplished by this.

    I mean how is this different than asking "would you rather be raped by a black man or raped by a jew?"

    It's like having to decide between having to sit through listening to a Democrat or a Republican as they rail against the opposing view..

    Concentration camp internees were slaves, they were slave labor and and they were worked till their death from starvation and then replaced with the next train load. If they had more workers than they needed they simply killed them off as they were an expense not an asset like the slaves in America which were valuable property.

    Which ones "were really not so bad"?

    Like all other forms of capitalism, both were loathsome and incredibly inefficient.

    Where exactly did you hear this ?!?

    Perhaps you are referring to those alleged gas chambers? Seems a little suspicious. More likely it was just a kitchen. Unfortunately, any germans who ask questions are jailed.

    Sometimes I wonder whether the Soviet gulag camps may have been worse.

    "Alleged" says it all..........................I have no interest in Holocaust deniers.

    No need to wonder but they were not mass murder factories like the Nazi concentration camps. Stalin killed more because he had more to kill he just wasn't as efficient at it as the Nazi's.

    OTOH you have the fact that if you are a Jew in the concentration camp, you are there to be killed. Period. The Nazis general plan was to work everyone else to death but to kill all the Jews as quickly as possible. That was why the camps were there, the only labor they accomplished was to kill Jews. Idiot (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s who want to tell me my grandfather and thousands upon thousands of other American, French, Russian, Polish and even German soldiers who saw the camps with their own eyes were all part of a giant Jewish plot notwithstanding

    OTOH you have the fact that you could, if you could somehow escape before being killed, blend into the population much more easily than an escaped slave could in the South. There is, anti-semitic (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) liars notwithstanding again, no such thing as a Jew who can be easily identified as such and nothing else by sight alone.

    So it would depend, if I could pass as white I'd take the slave any day. If I knew I'd get an easy chance to escape at one point or another, the Jew. If I knew neither was likely I'd take the slave, because many who were unmistakable as persons of color escaped nonetheless.

    Neither have I any respect for holocaust exaggerators, especially when the seek to silence all who would dare call them out. Isn't it interesting how Germany has criminalized "minimizing" the holocaust, but not exaggerating it? I mean, if they had to regulate free speech, why not just pass a law making lying about history illegal? That leaves certain academicians to make up whatever they want, and no one can criticize them.

    Interesting how the liberal mind can only conceive of non-whites suffering. When it comes to the Allied occupation of Germany after the second world war, or the whites in South Africa after the Apartheid government, liberals are the biggest deniers there are.

    Obviously not condoning slavery, but the OP caused me to wonder. How would the living conditions of African American slaves of the past, compare to those of the majority of people in present day Africa?

    Or how would the living conditions of those slaves of the past compare to the majority of present day blacks living in the ghettos of America? My view is that the slaves had it much better than do today's ghetto blacks, and those slaves had a much better work ethic since they actually had jobs....doncha think?

    Slave owners didn't just summarily kill their slaves or work them to death when slavery existed in the Americas. remember the United States didn't establish slavery here Europeans did. Slaves were valuable property.

    There were free blacks in the South including free blacks who owned black slaves.

    First you assume I exaggerate the holocaust, then you tag be as a liberal. Me thinks you don't know what you are talking about on many fronts.
