    Gotta go further back, we could have skipped Nazis if we had properly handled the slavers and bigots in the Confederacy. American “race science” was a critical foundation for the eugenics that inspired Hitler.

      Yeah. If every slave had got that 20 acres or more from the land of those who “owned” them, at least, every confederate officer been hanged, and maybe even every slaver family gutted, with everyone above a very young age being killed and the remainder neing fostered out to or adopted by black families who got paid for the trouble, the world would be a better place.
