These efforts at silencing continue from the very top of our government. President Biden has repeatedly stated that people who disagree with his agenda, and especially those who oppose COVID 19 mask mandates and mandatory vaccinations, are "extremists" who pose a national security threat. It seems to me that the Democrat-Socialists are trying to make opposition to their agenda illegal. This is an extremely dangerous position, especially for someone who promised to "bring us all together..." So, we'll all be together, but only if we all agree with his far-left programs?

And who is calling the shots? I believe it is former President Obama, who is conveniently ensconced in an office just down the road from the White House.

Weikart notes that Jews historically were viewed as a religious group in Germany, but with the widespread acceptance of Darwinism came the acceptance of "biological determinism." He writes, "Biological determinism taught that human traits, including behavioral traits, were determined by one's heredity, not by one's education and upbringing. When applied to Jews, this meant that the common stereotypes of Jews – that they are greedy, deceitful, sexual immoral, etc. – were allegedly biologically ingrained traits." By the time of Hitler's Third Reich, this view was widespread, and Jews were viewed more in racial terms than in religious terms.
So indeed the Holocaust was about race. It was all about achieving the so-called "master race" and eliminating those viewed as subhuman. The Jews were the largest group killed. Said Weikart, "For them, the killing of Jews was all about race." The Nazis also killed Gypsies and Slavs for racist reasons.

In Whoopi's case, I think she blurred the lines of race vs ethnicity. As I said, many blacks view their race as the most egregiously stereotyped and mistreated. Of course, that's wrong in many ways.
You are correct about the Reich's views of the Jewish population - my prior comments were much more simplistic.
