Both the Nazis and the Confederates held people in slavery

So, I take it that any people that ever held slaves are to be condemned forever?

Ding! Ding! Ding! -- we have a winner! We have a winner! No more calls, please .....

It's all about "breaking the box" -- "you don't want to be caught dead agreeing with those horrible, sheet-wearing, snaggletoothed, pellagra-ridden, Jim Crow white people down South! (Did you know their children all have lice?)"

It's about the "Finkelstein Box" and the battleground States, and discomfiting and discountenancing the conservative, freedom-oriented impulses of the American voters, so they'll vote 'Rat, against their liberty interests.

I cannot forgive the Nazis for holding people slavery and I cannot forgive the Confederates for holding people in slavery.
