Oh my bad. Sorry! That makes way more sense.

LOL. You're right. Funny enough, Adolf Hitler used America's system of apartheid as a model for how to treat Jewish people and other minorities in the early days of the Reich.

Though I will say... South Africa's apartheid lasted deep into the 80's. I think that's pretty fucked up. Like this Rosa Parks style picture is in black and white, but the pic was taken in1986:

See this is what I'm talking about. Trump says he wants American soldiers to go do ethnic cleansing in Gaza and a Democrat Senator's response is, "errrrrm methinks you better fill out the proper paperwork first ". Disgusting.

This would get 60 votes in the Senate by the way.
