Who ever thought that White supremacist died with the 21st century was wrong...even more so, those who believed that Obama brought a new age of equality in America, was obviously wrong too.
On June 10, James W. von Brunn at 88 years old proved to be one of the most pathitic white supremecist that I know. The man went to the holocaust museum and started shooting...and alas a guard lost his life.
telling this to a young Jewish friend, he posed a question; "why do we have the Holocaust museum?"
in his opinion, this is too painful and too horrible of an event for people to want to have a building dedicated to its remembrance.Off course being that he is 15, i just let that comment go, but I had to wonder, really...why have the Holocaust Museum, or the Black History museum? after all, they pretty much point to periods in history that were really horrible, and should probably be left alone.
But then truly those who ignore past mistakes are bound to repeat the same mistakes. So the simple answer I can give, lets remember those people, lets remember that period, so that hopefully, hopefully, we can learn from those mistakes.
Now, wouldn't that be nice.
