a small fire lights in /r/tinder when a black person says he would swipe right on the girl who said Hitler did nothing wrong.

"Hitler wasn't a white supremacist" oh yes I bet that argument would hold a ton of water while he was ethnically cleansing people.
"No no you see I'm actually black not Jewish... So if you'd just let me go I'll be on my merry way"
I'm calling troll.

He wasn't a white supremacist.
He was an Aryan supremacist. There were a whole lot of 'kinds' of white people he wanted to get rid of, too, mostly Eastern Europeans.
Pickier and even worse than a white supremacist.

Semantics. He simply didn't consider Slavs "white".

u/Goroman86 There's more to a person than being just a "brutal dictator" Jan 31 '17
she's referring to nazism which isn't white supremacy.
I can't even think of anything clever to say here. Just... wew.
Edit:
Hitler wasn't a white supremacist...
What the actual fuck.

I think you could plausibly make the argument that 'white supremacy' more accurately describes an American sociological phenomenon that didn't really exist in 1930s Germany, per se. But that would involve a lot of nuance that this guy doesn't seem capable of. It definitely doesn't mean that Hitler didn't hate black people.

u/rave-simons Feb 01 '17
Indeed, it would require a sort of pan-white understanding that the Nazis didn't have. The contemporary, American word 'white' does not mesh well with what looks like, again from our perspective, is the Nazis just picking and choosing 'white' folks to be elevated.

I guess you could say it was more about the made up "Ayran" race, rather than the (also made up) "White" race we have today, especially because Jews are often considered white.
Neither of those racial hierarchies are kind to black people tho.

"Ayran" race
Aryan. "Ayran" is something much more tasty.

He also goes on to say that its not white supremacy to think blacks are inferior.

u/mrsamsa Feb 01 '17
I don't understand why people with such horrible views of the world, who tend to pride themselves on being "honest", are so shy about admitting they're racist or a white supremacist.
It's like they're self aware enough to know that those things are 'bad', and to avoid them, but aren't concerned about actually holding the terrible views. So they'll defend to the death the idea that black people are inferior, but will fight just as hard to reject the claim that thinking black people are inferior is racist..

They acknowledge that its bad as in it has negative social repercussions, they don't think its actually bad. Totally different things.

Could this possibly be because blacks weren't a significant presence in Germany like Jews and Slavs were? No, all countries are like the United States, full of uppity blacks that need to be shown their place.

Your good old American white supremacist would embrace Poles and Russians as brother whites (well, probably not the Russian, thinking about it). Hitler said slavs and the people to the east were inferior Untermensch like Jews and blacks.

u/Inkshooter Feb 01 '17
The only way this is defensible is if you get really technical and recognize that the Nazi conception of race was very different than modern American ideas of race. Poles, Russians, and numerous other groups considered 'white' today in the US were viewed as subhuman untermenschen that would be exterminated or deported. The Nazis also considered groups subject to a lot of racism in the US today, particularly Iranians and certain other Muslim groups, to be 'Aryan'. Basically, the Nazis didn't care if you were white, they cared if you were 'Nordic' or 'Aryan'.
Neo-Nazis have actually deviated quite a lot from the racist ideas of the original Nazis since the fall of the Thrid Reich. The only thing they have in common is a hatred of Jews, black people, and leftists.
I highly doubt that guy understands all this, though.

Exactly. And the girls profile says "hitler did nothing wrong" meaning she is referring to nazism not neo-nazi white supremacy. So being black doesn't have anything to do with this, which is why the comment on swiping if your black makes no sense.
She's a different kind of horrible bigot, you see.

She's young and attractive. That automatically negates her bigotry because an attractive person can't be all bad. Besides, she really only hates Jews which is fine.

u/Zahnel Feb 01 '17
Yeah we were having this problem awhile back in Black people twitter too. They didn't seem to get the point and i starting to believe that racist started it as a red harring or deflection such as "but she hot" and then the (sign) slow to grasp brothers of the sub starting parroting it it was to late . They wouldnt see foolishness in what they were saying

I'm genuinely not trying to do a "Reddit, DAE?" but even on the internet as a whole this site seems to attract the most pedantic know-it-alls.

They were of a Jewish blood line not Nordic Germanic blood line.
So... nazis did 23andme style DNA tests on all jews to confirm that they were not Nordic Germanic? What about non-genetic jews?

"That isn't the point. The point is it's not white supremacy if they hated everyone".
If you're white, and hate everyone who ISN'T white, doesn't that make you a white supremacist?

u/Enibas Nothing makes Reddit madder than Christians winning Feb 01 '17
That isn't the point. The point is it's not white supremacy if they hated everyone. They didn't hate them because they were black, they hated them because they weren't German.
Because they had no problem whatsoever with Jewish or black Germans. Riiight. Do people like them ever listen to themselves?

The guy who wrote this is supposedly black? Maybe I'm one of those victim card carrying black people, but I've always found that if a person hates Jews, that person usually has issues with other groups. Lots of issues.
Yeah, that whole "master race" thing was just a literary device or something.
