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

I think we should follow the lead of Mongolia when it comes to historic statues and honoring historic figures. Genghis Khan, Mongolia’s most notorious and celebrated homey, who was responsible for the slaughter and genocide of millions when he established empire, is still honored by Mongolians. Statues of him abound in the capital. And the name of their major airport , you ask. The Genghis Khan International Airport. lol No Resistance in Mongolia.

And this immoral cretin has a job teaching at a university. Instead, he should be ostracized from society.

FTA: “I guess that we now have to delete America’s part in World War Two from the history books to suit liberal sensibilities...”

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

...What he did not do, however, was call for the destruction of the essence of Nazism: race supremacy.

That is because back then, there were some things that did not need to be explained because it was so obvious. Do these people not recall the embarrassment of Germany after Jesse Owens beat them in the Olympics? If this is the best the Washington Post can come up with for a Sunday morning the week of VE Day, then the world must be doing ok.

It's ironic how the leftists paint racism on everyone but the Democrats, when it was the Democrats who promoted it.

In fact, it was the Democrats who fought against the Civil Rights activists and the Republicans who were trying to put an end to racism.

But now when they talk about past sins, they give Democrats a pass.

Churchill didn't talk about global warming either. That makes him a science denier as well. He clearly must be purged from the history books.

Let's not even get started on his views on transgenderism.

Everybody’s racist. My Neapolitan born grandpa told me Sicilians we’re not nice people. We grew up in a mixed catholic community in The Bronx. We ranked each other out. The only Jew we knew owned a candy store, nice guy. We told outrageous jokes about Irish, Italians, Krauts, poles, Jews, PRs, and blacks. You only got pissed off if you were not sharp enough to give a decent come back. Everyone laughed at the jokes.

I’m sick of this BS.

We can all play along.......

FDR never publically condemned Hitler or the Nazi for trying to exterminate the Jewish people. So ergo all Democrats are Anti-Semitic.

Also, neither did Winston Churchill, so that makes all English History Professors Anti-Semitic!

“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.’”

Winston Churchill, in a radio address to the British people on November 14, 1941”
