Washington Post: U.S. WWII Heroes Were Evil Because They Were ‘Racists’
The Lid ^ | 5/2/19 | Warner Todd Hudson

Posted on 05/06/2019 2:22:14 AM PDT by LibWhacker

The Washington Post is discounting America’s win in World War Two because American forces were all “racists.”

I guess that we now have to delete America’s part in World War Two from the history books to suit liberal sensibilities just like we are erasing statues to military people all across the nation.

The attack on the Allied Forces in WWII came in an idiotic liberal article with the unwieldy title of, “Allied leaders were anti-Nazi, but not anti-racist. We’re now paying the price for their failure.”

The article by a foaming-at-the-mouth lib named John Broich — who claims to be a teacher at Case Western Reserve University — noted that the Allied Forces were responsible for attacking Nazism, but added that the Allies were really “just like” the Nazis.

“Because while Allied countries opposed the Nazis and Allied troops defeated them, the leaders of the United States and Britain rarely attacked the core tenet of Nazism: the belief in a master race,” this ahistorical “teacher,” wrote.

Broich added:

In my World War II class recently, I had my students pore through the speeches and letters of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the years around the war’s start in 1939, searching for his basis for opposing the Nazis. They found Churchill wanted to stand up to the Nazis’ expansionism, fight their anti-democracy posture and resist what he called (but largely left undefined) their anti-Christianity. What he did not do, however, was call for the destruction of the essence of Nazism: race supremacy.

Basically, Broich says that despite defeating the Third Reich — the evilest regime in human history — that tremendous moral success doesn’t matter because the Allies were all still racists.

Because the world wasn’t as “woke” in 1945 as it is now, the great victory over Hitler is meaningless.

This is the moral vacancy of liberalism.

If you can’t see that the defeat of Nazism isn’t a good thing for mankind merely because the world also had some few failings over 60 years ago, then you really are an immoral person. This was truly the greatest generation that saved the world.

Sadly, morality and truth are not liberal values

“The plain facts are that the Nazis have proclaimed, time and again, that all other races are their inferiors and therefore subject to their orders.”

FDR, in a “Fireside chat” radio address, December 28, 1940

Tell that to the Jews who were freed in the death camps. You want to find racism look at the Japanese in WWII.

“None has suffered more cruelly than the Jew the unspeakable evils wrought upon the bodies and spirits of men by Hitler and his vile regime. The Jew bore the brunt of the Nazi’s first onslaught upon the citadels of freedom and human dignity. He has borne and continued to bear a burden that might have seen beyond endurance. He has not allowed it to break his spirit; he has never lost the will to resist. Assuredly in the day of victory the Jew’s suffering and his part in the struggle will not be forgotten.’”

Now you're introducing facts into the argument and interfering with his meme. Have you no shame !

Genghis Khan, Mongolia’s most notorious and celebrated homey, who was responsible for the slaughter and genocide of millions...

In other words, he engaged in population management and urban redevelopment resulting in increased sustainability through reducing aggregate population levels. Genghis Khan should be celebrated by liberals.

It was the author of the article with three names, not the libtard he was talking about.

A PC approach could have cost us the war. Fortunately such idiocy was two generations away when we defeated the Axis.

It is mostly done. Hardly anything about WW2 in today’s school’s history books.

And what IS in the books, mostly suggests that Russia was the true winner of WWII. It reads like England and America were involved, but it really was Russia who CAUSED the victory.

For those who might not recognize the Democrat in the center, it is Joseph Kennedy Sr., JFK’s father.

Well said.

Assuredly in the day of victory the Jew’s suffering and his part in the struggle will not be forgotten.

Sadly, more and more often as we get further and further from that time, the Jew's suffering and his part in that struggle have not only been FORGOTTEN but also further RIDICULED and further OSTRACIZED!!

And most often those who downplay the past and present plight of the Jews are Liberal Leftist Democrats and their ILK!!

How likely is it that his ancestors were...German.

Didn’t read it all, but the man sounds like a maniac who wants some attention for having a ‘DIFFERENT VIEW.’

Egomaniac.

Recently buried my WWII veteran father, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman’s Badge. This kind of B.S. offends me deeply. Perhaps we should have let the Nazis have Europe and the Japanese Asia. Excuse me, I need a wee bit of single malt.

Right on the mark Vaquero,we must be about the same generation
i grew up among the Mexicans, Utes, and navajos, the Mexicans and
whites got along just when they wanted to, the navajos and Utes
never got along.

Each one demanded respect and there was a lot of fighting, but they
would have all joined to gather to defend the right to be what they
were or to defend this nation.

They were real Americans.

To quote the movie my cousin Vinny “what’s a Ute?”

All kidding aside. I watch boxing. My kids watch mixed martial arts. I say,’they fight dirty’ meaning with there feet. When I was a kid you fought another guy in the neighborhood to prove a point not to kill him. Boxing was an honorable means of doing that. I guess it’s come down to if your in a fight these days, it’s to ‘the finish’. So much wrong with today’s society.
