One of the many satanic paradoxes of the Third Reich’s architecture of the Final Solution was the requirement—mandated after the 1939 outbreak of the war—that Jews anywhere under German rule or occupation had to wear a yellow badge or armband with the Star or David.
Yet was not all this elaborate bureaucratic need for identification embarrassing to the Nazi apparat? After all, if Nazi doctrine about supposedly manifest Aryan “racial” superiority—Nordic looks and build, superior intelligence, stable disposition—were so persuasive, then why the need for Jews to identify themselves?

As usual, Hanson puts to paper what many of us are thinking. I disagree, however, that we must put aside all racial stereotyping. I'm a news junkie, and I will continue to use my innate preservation skills when out and about.

While it is convenient and usually unnecessary to categorize people by race, ethnic background, etc. it is usually done to assign them negative qualities as a group. It is important to recognize that all races have noteable exceptions in including good, smart and productive people. All races also contain their share of horrible, evil people who commit foul deeds and draw unwanted attention to the entire race. Assigning the label of "White Supremacist" to the general group of white Europeans and Jews attempts to deny the fact that without this group existing, most of the world would still be living somewhere in the Middle Ages with the various stagnant and dissatisfied remaining groups hacking, stabbing and stoning each other to death while living in their dirt hovels. The only real civilization would be the Asians who would have wisely walled themselves in to keep the barbarians out. Whites and Jews should get a "thank you" for advancing all societies but instead, we have what we have in the world today, hatred, envy and jealousy.

Maybe it's time for these brainy college protesters to give us a list of the best and worst races. Or, just ask AOC!

Our young are parroting this garbage, along with the climate hoax, and other hoaxes. They are learning this trash in our schools, which are teaching them to hate themselves, their country, and their parents. There is no choice but to pull your children out of these schools.

Racial differences were created by evolution. There is nothing wrong in recognizing them, Just like hair color. What is important is to inculcate a culture that teaches us not discriminate, persecute or deny rights based on their characteristics. During WW I both Britain and France brought their colonial non-white troops to France. British authorities were mortified at the prospect of Indian/African soldiers going out with French prostitutes The French on the other hand had to such concerns. This is a learned behavior.

#1, I agree. When people show and tell you who they are, it behooves you greatly especially in this climate to believe them and act accordingly. No race can make another choose violence. That is a personal choice and when I see numerous acts of violence against whites by POC, I will include that factor that in when I am out in public. That is called common sense survival skills.

FTA: "Yet currently, the entire industry of anti-Semitic hatred has flipped, from Jews as toxic non-whites to Jews as toxic whites. The two common denominators of racial obsession and hating Jews remain the same. One of the key reasons leftwing anti-Semites have been so effective at galvanizing campus hatred of Israel, and by association of Jews in general, is their careful effort to brand themselves DEI victims while tarring Jews with the empty white supremacy slur. (snip) They are libeled as veritable white supremacists illegitimately in the Middle East to colonize “Palestine,” and as European imperialists picking up the mantle of the earlier 19th century British and French—as if a prior 400 years of Ottoman imperialism in the Middle East never occurred."
Behold the benefit of our Marxist-based public educational system. The slow march through the institutions has been very successful on its centenary. I'm sure Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt are beaming with pride in hell. I'm a Boomer. Our parents were children of the Depression whose young adulthood's were forged fighting WWII, and when they came back they demanded an integrated society. Our parents worked hard, provided for us and trusted the schools, and sent us off to the universities where the commie grad students and professors were waiting to fill our minds full of mush. Some resisted, others of us pulled ourselves out eventually. But the educational machine has been fine-tuned and channeled down into high school, middle, grade and pre-school levels. The indoctrination of our children into the group-think of the New World Order is complete.
It is not surprising homeschooling is on the rise, as well as enrollment in private schools. Families and communities are responsible for raising the next generations to judge on the content of character, not the color of skin. As everyone is aware, however, our societal problems go far beyond our racial tensions on university campuses. The Marxist long march through the institutions has been successful in all branches of our government as well. Although publicly Biden has to support Israel because America has that historic public position, you know the real president Obama wants nothing more than to stick a knife in Bebe's back. He's pleased as punch with all these campus protests in support for the Palestinians.

So, my takeaway from this learned scholar is that the Powers That Be are willing to blame me for the color of my skin, which is a characteristic I did not choose. It is considered both an Act of God, at the same time it is also called an Accident of Birth.
