Clinton was invoking the Nazi practice of Sippenhaft, in which the relatives of those who opposed Hitler were punished. This vengeful notion holds that the accused person's family is tainted with "blood guilt." But this primitive idea goes even further. It attaches guilt not only to the accused person's family but also to his whole "tribe." For example, all American whites are guilty for slavery, even if their ancestors arrived after slavery ended. All Christians are guilty for the Crusades and Inquisition, even those whose ancestors suffered from them. And of course, all Jews are guilty for the death of Jesus, not just those who were in Jerusalem that day and called for it (and whom Jesus forgave). How can an apparently well-educated man hold such primitive, anti-democratic beliefs? The beliefs are also irrational – if the terrorists aren't responsible for what they do, how can we be responsible for what other people may have done in other times and other places? How can a former president justify, even partially, the mass murder of his own people? And you support all of that. Talk about unconditional devotion. At least you got that going for you. It helps me remain a Chiefs fan.

I thought I made that clear Flap. For how long will 100 % of white Americans you included be forced to apologize for what was the norm of the world at that time ? We have nothing to do with slavery. It still exists in Africa and the Middle East go tell them to stop. Go tell the inner city blacks to stop making slaves of their children
