It's somewhat interesting. How many Americans are willing to trace their lineage to former slave-owners or to colonists who appropriated the land away from countless Native American nations without any guilt or compensation for the lives taken or the property seized? Who ISN'T a descendant of a Caesar, a Kaiser, a Crusader or other conquering emperor?<BR><BR>The history of humankind is the history of peoples and nations who allow themselves to cooperate with or ruled by tyrants who seek to subdue others for some purpose or another.<BR><BR>Yawn.<BR>

Umm, Tom, we're talking about an admittance by the owner/operator of this website that they were supporters of the Nazis and profited greatly from this alliance. And to boot, they totally lied about any such alliance until a few weeks ago; we're not talking ancient history here. It's hardly a yawner.<BR><BR>In this era of corporate greed and deception, this is yet another story which turns my stomach.<BR><BR>I'm writing to every sponsor who has bought a banner ad here and chastise them for teaming up with such creeps.<BR><BR>Needless to say, I'm outta here FOREVER!<BR><BR><BR>the end/

Do you think that all whites in the south thought that blacks were inferior. Many did not, but to avoid getting their business or home from being burnt down or even being killed by the American nazi’s(KKK), they went along with it to survive. What do you think that you would have done under the Nazi’s or any repressive regime that threatened you and/or your family? I’m not excusing what some companies/people did, but can understand protecting your family and life for the average person. I don’t know if this company was one, but some people used their companies to fund various underground groups.
