Next, on the Adolf and Josef show...
Yep. Some seem in favor of slow death for 3rd worlders via malnutrition and starvation.
In talking with a group of people (all highly educated, most w/2 graduate degrees), the conversation got around to genetically modified food.
one enlightened soul said that, even though it 'sounded bad,' we should not allow 3rd worlders to have GM food because it would increase the population. it would be better if they died.
as the only person of color in the group, i was a little miffed, but not surprised, that no one said anything against this racist statement. i finally had to say something about it and why don't we stop feeding little white kids here in the us as that would also decrease world population, etc.
ever since seeing the conservative light, i have come to believe that liberalism is simply racism wearing nicer sheets. the liberal line is - as a person of color, you are inadequate and therefore need affirmative action and our (white) help, you need to be bussed to white schools because you can only learn if sitting next to a white kid, and it's ok to kill brown and black kids so that the world will remain in some imagined, pre-human pristine state.
even in my most leftist, socialist worker party days, it never occured to me that it was ok to doom people to starvation because i didn't approve of how they were being fed.
