(52,642 posts)jews were polite and calm and still while nazis, for example, casually killed every other jew standing in a line.
people who just don't understand ask me why the people in the camp, who greatly outnumbered the guards, didn't just storm them and take their guns. sure, many would die in the process, but they pretty much knew they were going to die anyway, so why not at least try?
of course there were many aspects of their situation that the people asking such questions don't understand, but that doesn't seem to keep them from passing judgment.
if people are finally treated equally regardless of race 200, 300, or 500 years after the end of slavery, people will be asking blacks why did they put up with it for so long.
damned if you do, damned if you don't.
