At the Museum of Tolerance, the first thing I saw was a mini-video that had clips of an interview with William Pierce who wrote “The Turner Diaries,” which was found in Timothy McVeigh’s possession when he was arrested. The video also had clips of groups of African-American men making stereotypical remarks toward the white-Americans. They spoke of how for every black man who didn’t have a gun, there was a white man with at least one gun. This is obviously a stereotype because not every white man owned a gun. The leader of the group, whose name I did not catch, had even said that he “wished they would show movies with white men being killed to the point where the blood flowed into the popcorn.” This particular clip had a huge

Then I went into an area that was called “The Point of View Diner.” It was a video clip of this scenario: There’s a radio disc jockey named Bostic who has a radio show where he constantly uses hate speech. He wasn’t just speaking discriminately towards minorities, but also towards women. Bostic would say stuff like how only pretty women could pass his “elevator test.” He said if he wouldn’t mind being stuck in an elevator with a girl, she was pretty. And everyone that didn’t fit under that category, he would insinuate that they were cows by playing a “mooing” sound. He also made fun of African-Americans and their “Ebonics.” The video clip starts out with a husband and wife eating breakfast. The husband is listening to Bostic’s radio show and the wife is asking him to turn it off because she’s disgusted with the way he talks about women. The husband responds by telling her that Bostic is right in what he says and that he isn’t turning it off. The scene changes and it shows th!

The most extreme form of violence against minorities between the years of 1880-1980 was lynching, which is putting a person to death, usually by hanging. Lynching by itself was the cause of 4,000 deaths nationwide, which averages to 80 deaths per year. One-third of lynching occurred in the South, and of those deaths 90% of them were deaths among African-American. In 1980, the Los Angeles County Commission of Human Relations found that all the hate crimes committed were based on race, ethnic origin, religion and sexual orientation. The LACCHR also reported that the largest number of crimes reported were against African-Americans, Jews, gays, Asians, and Latinos.

effect on me. I’ve heard of African-Americans being oppressed by the white-Americans since they created slave codes of the pre-civil war era that were later replaced by segregation laws and practices to discriminate against the blacks. But I never realized that the African-Americans of today still feel now, the way the African-Americans of that time felt towards the white-Americans.

In 1933, Hitler assumed power and created a dictatorship. Within a month of seizing power, he suspended all constitutional rights. Laws were created that denied Jews rights. They weren’t allowed to have sexual relations with those who weren’t Jews. The Vatican even recognized the Nazi regime. Ordinary people were also involved in the annihilation of the Jews. Although these ordinary people could be punished for helping the Jews, they knew that they would not be punished for refusing to kill them. Still many “ordinary people” actually volunteered to help kill Jews. November 9, 1938, is the day known as “Night of the Broken Glass.” 100 Jews died and people lined up on the streets to watch the deportation of Jews. Police rounded up as many Jews they could. The Nazi’s wanted to get rid of other people, not only the Jews, but they were singled out for total annihilation.

I would hate to think that genocide like the Holocaust could occur again, but it could. The only reason why the chances of it happening again are less is because we now know what could happen if it did. The Germans didn’t. The only way it can happen again is if we let it happen. Everything is a result of individual cho
