In the Jewish culture some have a game they play referring to those who hid the Jews from the Nazi's e.g. Anne Frank. "She would hide us, but he wouldn't.

One has to ask themselves are they the type of person who would have hid the Jews (breaking the law) or turned them over to the Nazi's. Hid the slaves (breaking the law), or turned them over to the Naxi's, helped the Blacks during segregation or remained quiet about the KKK.

That is how I have always judged people. Those who exhibit compassion and those who don't really care.

History shows us there a many people who don't mind injustice so much. Like all those people who would not work to end segregation.

During WWII 96% of American's were against allowing orphaned Jewish kids into the US even though they all had families to go to.

In 1967, 76% of American's were against interracial marriage.

The largest problems we face are not institutional, but the barbaric attitudes of too many American's. We cannot have a decent society without decent people.
