Response to Readings: "Anger and Humiliation", "Voices in the Dark"

Nazi Party program


Two points of this program that I think are especially unfair:
4. German blood as a requirement for German citizenship. No Jew can be a member of the nation.
Anyone should be able to join whatever country they want to.
7. The state insures that every citizen live decently and earn his livelihood. If it is impossible to provide food for the whole population, the aliens must be expelled.
People should be able to stay with their family and friends in a country, not be forced to come and go, and should be treated with the same respect then other citizens.


"Voices in the Dark"


If I had been on the train I would have told them that was not acceptable and I would have gotten off the train or moved to a different car. I had a similar experience when people were talking in Malay about how fat and dumb and stuff white people were,. I was right there and they probably didn't know I spoke Malay. So to make them embarrassed about what they said, I bid them farewell in Malay and the shocked expression on their faces was priceless.  :)
