Nazi Germany vs American Racism

"Nazi Germany" is trending on Twitter (at least in America) and this post was super interesting to see, the fact that even Nazis thought American racism was too harsh
So it was worse to be a non-white in America than to be a non-white in Nazi Euro era??


I also didn't know that the gas showers that America used on Mexican immigrants that were legally entering the USA to work in fields was picked up by the Nazis to kill the Jews



I cant believe the Nazis took ideas from the USA, anyone who tells me that America is not a racist country is a total liar, they even influenced the Nazis in their harsh ways

Here is a documentary on the Bath Riots, we Mexicans went through a lot in this nation and this is something that never gets talked about, seems like we Mexicans and Jews have a lot of similarities, god bless the holy people and Mexicans!

did the US conquer Mexico and enslave Maxicans? Are the US a totaliteran dictatorship? Did the US start a world war? Did the US build concentration camps gassing Maxicans?

US did conquer Mexico and stole the lands like California, Texas, Southern Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona
US has done a lot of destabilization in other nations and funding dictators and corrupt politicians
US did build concentration camps and were gassing field workers

this nation is very very racist, I would have rather lived in Nazi Germany than the racist era of America
at least Hitler never harmed black folks, he probably had a bad image on black folks but he never harmed anyone
America has harmed so many of the black population, either way, there is no competition, America is a racist nation

Uh, yeah he did. And the Germans had a trial run of genocide in German Southwest Africa (present day Namibia) where they wiped out 90% of Herero and 80% of Nama people.

While Hitler wasn’t involved in that (he was too young), a lot of those colonists ended up being high ranking in the Nazi party and contributed to their ideas on race.

I think both cannot be compared and shouldn't be viewed as some competition. While YOU might have been better off in Nazi Germany, we cannot say the same about those with Jewish origins who were viewed as "sub-humans" and endured harsh and extreme tortures. On the other hand we have the racism in the USA, where people of color endured a lot but more if you were black and native american. I can assure you that Jewish Americans did not endure anything close to what African Americans did. So for example to African Americans, United States might had been worse than Nazi Germany but to the Jewish people, it would be Nazi Germany.

because there were only a small number of blacks in Nazi germany, thus only 500 Afro-german children became sterilized. Imagine millions of blacks settled in pre 1933 gemany: they would have had become a victim of gassing like the Jews, but even more barbaric.

You are right that US and NS gemany cannot be compared and shouldn't. I would go a step further concluding, that the intention of those who do this comparison, is to white wash nation socialism, because they are national socialists themselves.

Like I mentioned Namibia. There were concentration camps there. People were experimented on.

And because the German race scientists wanted their skulls, they would force other people in the camps to boil the heads of people who died, and then scrape the skin off... sometimes the heads of their own friends or relatives. Could you imagine having to do that?
