Since many Whites LOVE Laws, Rules and Regulations...?

Question

if you guys had lived in Nazi Germany and Hitler had passed another Nuernberg Law stating that Jews are to be avoided and hated, would you guys have dutifully followed the laws as you always do without questioning?

What about if you had lived in the South 50 years ago under the Jim Crow Laws, would you guys have properly upheld the laws to oppress the Negroes?

ha ha ha... that was funny zombie,

first you say we live in the United States where "such garbage as in Europe" can't happen and then you go on to talk about Jim Crow etc. I bet you don't even see the irony, do you?

Answer 1

But we didn't live in Nazi Germany. We lived in the United States where our horrible "laws, rules, and regulations" prohibit us from allowing the kind of garbage that was going on in Europe take place. Hitler was in violation of the "laws" you seem to take so much offense over.

And it was white people that overthrew the Jim Crow laws. Do you REALLY think that blacks freed themselves? And after the Jim Crow laws were removed mean old white guys made NEW laws that prohibited blacks from being treated that way.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but did you put any thought into this question? Do you know your history? You DO know that Lincoln was instrumental in freeing the slaves, right? And that many mean old white guys died in a war that brought about the obliteration of slavery in this country, right? As much as you might like to think blacks took matters into their own hands and freed themselves, it isn't true. Whites were instrumental in their release. Them, and their horrible laws, rules and regulations.

Take a look at some nations that don't have widespread laws, rules and regulations. I DARE you to go live there for a year. They would eat your ungrateful butt alive after stealing everything you own.

Answer this question: Who did away with the Jim Crow laws and Hitlers reign? If you cannot answer that straight and truthful, then you can simply step away from this and take your intellectual beating. Because you're wrong. Totally. And not even in a clever way, as I have just shown.

Shh...did you hear that? That was the sound of your hollow, weak, ignorance fueled argument breaking into a billion pieces.

And no, I never said it couldn't happen here. It DID happen here and our laws won out. Seen any slaves lately in the US? Seen any concentration camps in Germany recently? Learn to read and think.

Answer 2

The situations you describe are less about law as they are about fear. In Nazi Germany, the penalty for showing humane treatment towards a Jew would have been forfieture of property, torture and even execution. Not just the person who was being kind but often the whole family paid the price. In the segregated south, the strong arm lied less in the law than in the societies and organizations that enforced their beliefs through terror. It was not uncommon to find an equality sympathizer lynched, whether they were black or white. Every society needs laws, rules and rugulations to sustain it's existance; but a society should not rely on fear and forced subjugation to achieve these goals.

Answer 3

What does being white have to do with wanting to follow the law?

Are you saying that all non-whites are law breakers?

I really have no clue where you're trying to go with this question...You seem angry at whites, but at the same time are implying that everyone else is the bad guy...I dont' get it.

???

FYI, most of the people that Hitler murdered were white...they were just those of the Jewish faith.

And, just like I do today, if I had lived in the South 50 years ago, I would have fought for equal laws for all of our citizens, regardless of color.

Answer 4

You said you weren't racist. Why are you generalizing whites? A DWI misdemeanor holds whites back from getting a job also. Even a felon can still work a semi-skilled labor position and eventually work their way up to higher wages. If someone decides to deal drugs instead of take a minimum wage job then there's a flaw in their ethics, not in the color of their skin. If certain groups of minorities tend to chose the life of crime, then maybe the culture's value system needs to be examined and amended. Look at your typical Asian American. Most Asian cultures place a high value on education and work ethic. They're a minority also, but they are not often involved in commiting violent crimes and work better jobs and live a subjectively "better" life as a result of those values.

Answer 5

Yes, we probably would have, the same way you might have slaughtered members of different African tribes if you lived in Rwanda, or chased the Serbians out of town if you had been living in Croatia, or......

Humans are sadly susceptible to the desire to preserve their own lives and lifestyles at the expense of others. Fortunately for all of us, there are exceptions to that rule - for every Goebbels, there was a Schlinder, for every Hitler, a Bonhoeffer, for every Nazi, a Resistance worker. I choose to hope that in a similar situation, I would follow their example and make the hard choices. I hope none of us ever have to find out.

Answer 6

In Nazi Germany those who opposed the government lost their lives. Descent was not so easy. I would have had to consider my family.

It was also quite dangerous to be pro-civil rights in the south, but not nearly as much as in Germany. I probably would have quietly fought for civil rights.

Answer 7

Are you saying that people who are not white don't love laws rules and regulations?

Answer 8

Someone forgot their happy pills today.

Answer 9

Maybe but only VERY reluctantly, it is wrong
