Of course, there was no "genocide" in the US slavocracy because US slavers needed blacks just like cattle breeders needed cows... So, according to your viewpoint, Hitler's policy towards Jews and other lesser breeds would have been acceptable if it had merely consisted of turning them all into... the Reich's slaves??

Of course not. I didn't say slavery was acceptable. Nothing I said even vaguely implied that it was. I didn't even say racism and bigotry was acceptable. If there was no genocide in Germany the bigotry would have still been awful. They did have slavery in addition to genocide so getting rid of the genocide would still leave slavery. In Germany's case the slavery was to the state not to individuals.

If Germany had slavery and no genocide it still would have been very different then the "bible belt" at that time. Slavery existed in the US before the civil war not in the 1930s and 1940s.
