Stunned

If you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose -- you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.

Clear away the Jews! Our own people has genius enough - we need no Hebrews. If we were to put in their place intelligences drawn from the great body of our people, then we should have recovered the bridge which leads to the community of the people.

- Adolph Hitler, in a speech given in Munich, Germany on April 27, 1923


If X people were done away with, then society would improve in Y way.

It matters not, Mr. Bennett, if the statement is followed with a declaration that such an action"would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do". The premise that society can be bettered by ridding ourselves of one race is itself reprehensible. Still.
