This is a second attempt (see first one here) to grasp the absurdity of these two interlinked ideologies without showing dead bodies or fighting armies. Instead, I used some rarely published photographs that I find extremely fascinating.
British sailor removing the leg irons off a slave, late 1800s.
Ku Klux Klan at the carnival in Canon City ,1925.
World’s Highest Standard of Living – A Margaret Bourke-White Photograph,1937.
A rare color photo of Adolf Hitler which shows his true eye color (date unknown).
US Government mockups of how Hitler could have disguised himself, 1940s.
The last photo taken of Adolf Hitler as he overlooks the damage in Berlin,1945.
And here is what he saw…
A German soldier returns home only to find his family no longer there, Frankfurt, 1946 – by Tony Vaccaro
A girl who grew up in a concentration camp draws a picture of “Home” while living in a residence for disturbed children, Poland, 1948.

In some stats i believe! still that concept rising or promoted. i was not surprised but really upset.. who we are what we have don! god bless all of us any our peoples… seriously
On Nelson’s hands….
The picture clearly shows two men sticking their right arms and hands out of the bars. The picture also clearly shows the left arms of both men are raised up against the same window.
I assume that those joking about the two right hands were joking, and I’m…wondering which right hand is Nelson’s.
Thoughts, anyone?
The picture of the girl who grew up in a concentration camp just makes me want to cry.
the system (capitalism) that enslaved and discriminated against Blacks is the same system that oppressed working class whites, but poisoned their brains with the idea of white skin supremacy even though working class whites were screwed too.
btw. JAYE you are either a fool, liar or both,
“liberal , progressive” thinking was one of the things that help liberate BlackS AND WHITES here in america
Thomas –
Jaye is not the fool here. It was liberal ideology that gave rise to racism. Google “BBC 4 A Scientific History of Racism” for some education on this.
Whilst you’re at it, consider which party most KKK members belonged to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_members_in_United_States_politics
President Obama first heard about it on the news like us folks.
I guess Nelson Mandela had two right hands..
Blacks living back then, had jobs, two parents with a intact family life. If you ask older Blacks when did the Black family begin to fail, in the 1960’s under a decade of liberal rule.
YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL AND A LIAR TOO
Naw I think he is spot on you are just as racist as the people in those photos I imagine but I may be wrong. Dont really care
Walter Williams, famous modern Black educator and author, states the Exact same thing. It wasn’t until ‘they’ started with racial quotas of ‘equal’ opportunity, minimum wage and the welfare state that the black people started to lose their way. How come all these children are being raised by black grandparents? Because they were the last generation to work hard, have jobs and maintain the family unit.
Lmao. It’s obvious you’re making this up, I bet you don’t even know any Black American. Must be bad not living in a conservative world where only white have rights huh?
Hey, the title for Mandela photo is wrong; it should be “Nelson Mandela keeps both right fists raised after he was sentenced to life imprisonment, June 1964.”
I could also provide you links for some photos like “White children looking in on a blacks-only school basketball court, Bronx, New York 2014.”
Fascinating, interesting and thought provoking. Thank-you.
Appreciate you sharing, great blog post.Thanks Again. Really Cool. fbefdeefaaebkefk

As a young child in Virginia (About two miles, as the crow flies, from the White House) I saw scenes just like some of these – back in the 1950s and early 1960s. Us children were assured this was ‘normal’ as God intended it to be, and as the laws said it was.
Interesting point of view…No vietnamese ever called me nigger, but they did not stop the war
