Fine, why does Bomber Harris deserve a memorial then? I understand a memorial for bomber command, who celebrates everybody, but the memorial of the bomber command by means of the statue of a single controversial general? I am quite surprised you don't see my point.

And Stern, if you can't see what was funny about that statement, given the bases of National Socialism, I'm not going to help.

ah, I imagined it would have been another of your patronising comments, what I don't understand though is why everything has to be a comparison to Nazis?! We were talking about racial segregation in other countries, not Germany

the US were a racist country with or without the Nazis, which ran on a completely different agenda apparently:

This is the (in)famous sentence that the Tuskegee Airman Alexander Jefferson once said about his life as a POW and his comeback to the US: "Having been treated in Nazi capture like every other Allied officer, as we disembarked from the troop ship, a white soldier at the bottom of the gangplank shouted: “Whites to the right, n*****s to the left.” I replied: “Goddammit, nothing has changed!”
