Would you dare to question who you really are?

Lately it somehow got socially acceptable to be a racist douchebag. I do not comprehend how one can even think that they are “better” than somebody else decided by e.g. skin colour. If these guys had made their homework they would know that there are no “sub-races”. (That is because we never had enough time in seperate groups to generate different species of humans.)

In Germany we are taught to feel responsible of it’s (&our?) past; that’s our legacy. We were taught not to be proud. (Don’t get me wrong, I think not being proud of my country is a strenght) We have to be ever so cautious, because, whenever we aren’t, the ‘nazi-card’ is raised:

Other nations will not let us clear our name.
They redeem themselves from their past; have to glorify their past because otherwise: who are they to tell us we should repent? The first concentration camps weren’t german, but english; yet we are the ones infamous for it. (I do realise that ours were especially gruesome)
To accept that their grandparents and great grandparents are not the heroic figures they always depicted will shatter their worldview — not as desastrous as WWII has left us shattered, but nonetheless… And how can one be proud of their country if you know there is not much to be proud about? Think about all the Donald Trumps and Boris Johnsons — would they “take back control” and “make their country great again(?)” ?

In the last few weeks I saw a video on facebook I’d like to share with you.

Aurelie: “ This should be compulsory! There would be no such thing as extremism if people knew their heritage. Who would be stupid enough to think of such thing as a “pure race”?”
