    I'd rather be a white Christian in charge of both slavery and the concentration camps.

    You couldn`t be a Christian, and do either job. Try islam, you`d be alright then.

    Yeah, it does look like they've regressed quite a bit since the daze of having a slave master control their uneducated and unintelligent behaviors, but hey, they seem to be content with having their modern slavemaster the nanny state dictate and deliver their every want and needs.

    My comment about Stalin and those he killed wasn't limited to Jews but then what did Staling do with the Jews during the purges and before and during the war?

    Well, I'm not aware of any pogrom against Jews specifically in Stalinist Russia. The oblast they got in the far east of the USSR was not great, of course. I think it was a mutual advantage type of arrangement where they were offered that land so that it could be developed for the USSR, and it was reportedly pretty harsh land on the whole. So, it was neither special treatment nor persecution, I suppose. Still, a far better deal than what they ever got elsewhere, at least until they finally got Palestine.

    Right. I also don't know of any thing having been done specifically to or for Jews by Stalin, except for that oblast being given to them. So? Kind of a dead, issue, I guess.

    My comment is about slaves, blacks weren't the only slaves and jews weren't they only slave labor in WW2 for either the Nazi's or Stalin.

    Slaves were a valuable commodity in American when slavery existed (also for the ship companies that transported them despite the claims otherwise), they were an expensive and logistical problem in WW2.

    True, the Jews have been despised wherever they went.

    They've also made a point of remaining separate from the local culture everywhere they've gone. People tend to resent that. Like Merkel and others have said, Multikulti has failed.

    If one wanted to destroy a kid`s life, the best (worst) way is to give the kid a soft nanny.

    Don`t forget those cases where they had choices, and the subsequent damage they did to their host countries.

    The places they lived were "hosting" them? What exactly do you mean by that?

    The African slaves were fed and housed by Christian American's in exchange for labor, the Jews were not given a chance by the Nazi Christians.

    The lesser evil was possibly America, and that is why God helped us save Europe and defeat Germany single-handedly in World War 2. So my choice would be African slave, so long as my master was nice and not one of those evil ones like Wille Lynch who enjoyed torturing slaves even when they worked.

    Have you ever heard the principle "I would rather die on my feet then to live life on my knees." Some things in life are more important then living.

    To the best of my recollection, it was American Baptists and Methodists (both Christian) who gave us 400 years of slavery, and it was German Lutherans and Calvinists (also both Christian) who brought us the holocaust. So you really COULD be Christian to do either of those jobs, eh?

    I believe it was Europeans and Africans who established slavery in the Americas.

    By the same token, Christians fought and died to end these crimes. As an agnostic myself, I`m not blind to the fact that humanitarianism in the Western World has it`s historical roots in Christianity. Take a look at a world map. The most civilised and advanced countries were all founded by Christians.
