A storoem about Hitler's view of how America handled its Indian problem. |
I have always been a history buff; I watch the History Channel often. Just now I’m finding it a bit tough to accept a fact meant to enlighten. The channel aired a documentary about Adolf Hitler, surely one of the vilest humans and most incendiary figures in history there ever will be. Hitler had executed a hideous plan to exterminate millions upon millions of “inferior beings” to his Aryan man. He fought a war…to decimate civilians. Not just Jews but Gypsies, the mentally challenged or physically disabled, and other groups of “undesirables” all cruelly suffered, died by the wishes of this man. Imagine my shock upon hearing it said that one of the things Hitler admired most about America was it was ahead of its time in the manner it had conspired to rid itself of its undesirable native people problem. Hitler voiced approval for the way America was so creative in succeeding with the Indians’ removal from their native lands by labeling them “sub-human” and waging war to kill thousands, by being willing to condemn women and children to starvation, until tribes finally had to submit to detention on undesirable land called a reservation. Hitler applauded the comprehension of the need to eliminate without hesitation an inferior race to open the West for the White Man. I always have considered America’s treatment of the Indians to be a black stain on our history, delivered through past prejudice and ignorance. Still, it is sad to realize the United States once acted with such tragic malevolence that Hitler thought of us as his soul mate.
