Hatebase Tries To Scan For Precursors of Genocide In Language
An anonymous reader writes "Hatebase, a new crowdsourced database of multilingual hate speech from The Sentinel Project, is an attempt to create a repository of words and phrases that researchers can use to detect the early stages of genocide."
Fuck that.
So you could also scan for precursors of the next POTUS from twitter and facebook?
Ah! I bet you won't!
Sent as ripples into the electromagnetic field. No single photon has been harmed in the process.
My expectation is that this will be used for political infighting, much like the genocide it purports to try to head off.
The "crowd" will include activists for one (or more) sides of contentious political disputes, who will feed the database with typical word choices of their enemies, in the hope of branding them as potential genocide perpetrators. The result will be a produce far more false positives than true ones (if it produces any of the latter at all).
Indeed, the very phrase "hate speech" is such a faction-specific term. It is used by the US left wing to attempt to suppress politically incorrect free speech - especially politicall speech - of those with whom they disagree.
For an example of what I'm talking about, look at the Southern Poverty Law Center's pronouncements - including especially their advice to law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security that displaying bumper stickers supporting Ron Paul during the presidential primary, or any of a number of other pro-Constitution or Tea Party political position messages, was a sign that the driver was a terrorist.

Now instead of just laws requiring data retention to prevent child pornography, we can now also use genocide prevention as an excuse. And then of course just use it to go after copyright infringers.
If you want to learn about genocide speech, go to stormfront.org, there's no need to build a new database when somebody has already created one for you.

Set your phasers on "funky"!
1) They are missing most Chinese-language racial slurs, and are apparently not searching for Chinese characters. I think the results would be predominantly Chinese otherwise. I mean, how could they miss "waiguolao"? In China, hearing that word was my red flag to get indoors or to a cop as soon as possible. 2) I could find you literally thousands of websites calling for genocide in China (either against resident minority groups or towards immigrants in China) which don't use any ethnic slurs. Most of the ethnic slurs in China are condescending more than hateful (except those directed at the Japanese), and using more neutral terminology gives pro-genocide Chinese an air of legitimacy. I can remember when "nanlaowai", for example, was quite a popular blog, but their didn't use any racial slurs in spite of the constant demands for the ethnic purification of China. Chalk it up to cultural difference I guess.

Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
but Slashdot actually is a terrorist organization. So is any organization with same ideas.
(Who's next? Let's just keep going until the terrorists have won.)
Slashdot'll hate this, right? ... right?
The big problem is that the term 'Hate Speech" has been diluted from it's original meaning (holding hatred against someone because of their skin color or culture without respect for their individuality). I have actually seen some media pundits claim that any criticsm of Wall Street banks is tantamount to Anti-Semitic Hate Speech, even though very few of the banks on Wall Street are actually "Jewish owned." Further, the problem with our immature culture is that they are unable to shake their racist mindsets in that they cannot handle criticism of a politician who is in some way associated with a disenfranchised group of NON-POLITICAL OFFICE HOLDERS, claiming that it is Hate Speech to have political difference of opinion. How could this, given how loosely the term is thrown around, be turned bad very quickly?
I also see this as being a bit of a problem being fully crowd-sourced. I know we all like the idea of something being fully 'of the people', but I can also see thing as being used in personal feuds and grudges. . . which,. ironically, is how a lot of Genocides actually end up (People 'reporting' their 'rivals' to be rounded up based on personal feuds). What protection is in place to guard against fraudulent claims?
Also, I am also confused because Genocide requires racism as public policy. Some moron screaming about how he hates some person based on their race is not about to create a genocide. If anything, they'll just alienate themselves. You need a government to commit genocide, so why isn't this software ESPECIALLY monitoring governments? What this service should be doing is targeting government and media for hate speech, which is what happened in Rwanda and Nazi Germany.
I think the people who made the software have the right intentions. I totally jive with the intentions. . . but I also see the immature nature of our political landscape as incompatible with something as dignified as this. As long as you are claiming anyone who you don't agree with is engaging in 'hate speech', regardless of whether there is any racially motivated ratred going on or not, then it's somewhat useless and potentially Orwellian.
I don't really agree with some of the positions that conservatives or Tea Partiers espouse, but they are legitimate discourse in a free Democratic country. . . If you add up A. *Labeling all oppositional speech as Hate Speech* and B. Providing an automated way of 'reporting' people for 'Hate Speech", it starts to look like something other than what it is.
This is coming from someone from a Jewish lineage who had direct family members fall victim to the Genocide in Nazi Germany. . . So. . . STFU! I don't like racists, but I'm pretty sure snitches aren't much better, even if the person snitched on has some pretty terrible ideas. IF a government starts spewing that kind of stuff, that's when you need to watch out.

Republican links gun control to bestiality
http://politicalwire.com/archives/2013/04/02/lawmaker_links_gun_control_to_bestiality.html
Both of these were just in the last week, by a current member of the House, and the head of the Republican National Committee. These aren't some fringe types yelling from the sidelines, they are mainstream and one is in a national leadership position. This kind of stupid crap is being said by mainstream Republican officials every day. It's so common that it takes a particularly inspired bout of vile accusations to even get reported.
An before you try and justify this slanderous shit by claiming that the Democrats do the same thing: No they don't. No serving Democratic official says anything like this. Note that these are actual quotes from the individuals, not some perverse made up fantasy on Fox News, or as it should be called Fox Pravda
So I'm going to look into this project, and I may contribute some examples like this. It's not like I would have any trouble finding material.
Why is Snark Required?
Let's see, upset at SPLC? Wonder why that is...
As far as designating drivers with Ron Paul stickers as terrorists, you are most likely confusing that (deliberately or not) with their investigations into and reporting on right wing hate groups that planned or carried out attacks. Like this one. I mean, if we are talking about militia groups, patriot movement groups, and sovereign citizens, we are talking about groups that have attacked or planned to attack police officers.
This sounds a bit off to me. Statistical NLP needs large amounts of data. How many data points do they have that can reliably be labelled "precursor of genocide" vs "no precursor of genocide"? There haven't been that many genocides, is it? And as the article says: "hate speech isn't in short supply"...
Just read the part about the 8 stages of genocide of this so-called "Genocide Watch" ( http://www.genocidewatch.org/aboutgenocide/8stagesofgenocide.html )
Unfortunately they focus mainly on religious and ethnic hatred, which doesn't really account for some of the biggest genocides of the 20th century like in Pol Pot's Cambodia, Stalin's USSR and Mao's China, They do mention Pol Pot a couple of times, for the "blue ribbon" symbolism and the "Denial" stage, but miss the root of the problem. Their view is shallow at best, IMO.
It is fashionable to focus almost exclusively on race, religion and nationalism, but ironically, the biggest killings in the past century came from ideologies aiming to unite mankind beyond those "hate" barriers.
"Genocide Watch" would have probably missed those "early stages" of Communism...
The basis for this appears to be pure speculation. There is no actual data (big or otherwise) showing the validity of the assumptions on which this is based.
Always looking for new ways to feel morally superior and lecture others. 'You don't say this', 'you don't say that'. Everyone says that? No negative connotation? Who cares? We say it is discriminating and if you don't follow us, you are a racist. Fortunately those cannot read thoughts, else they would tell you what to think and what not to think.

You need a government to commit genocide
Says who?
The only requirement is that people kill a bunch of other people based on their race/ethnic group/religion/whatever.
Having a government with policies friendly to this type of activity is certainly helpful, but is in no way a requirement for it to happen.

I think you just proved his point. You are doing exactly that, you are using this as fodder for political infighting. You don't like it so you label it as hate speech. Does that mean we treat it the same way Europe treats it? Somebody makes an anti-Semitic comment on twitter, so France wants to put them in jail?

I'm not in the US, so maybe I'm missing some context here, but...
How on earth are either of the links you've just posted examples of hate speech? The first is a line on the abortion debate that we've seen many times over the years. I'm not going to pick sides in that one; but if you approach the debate (as some people do) with the starting point that foes "life begins at conception" then abortion is infanticide. I think a lot of the lack of civility around that particular debate stems from the fact that neither side recognises just how high the stakes feel for the other side in it.
The second link is a fairly silly take on the gun control debate that somehow slides into an odd reductio ab absurdum take on the gay marriage debate. But again, incoherent though it is, is it really hate speech?
If somebody says "All members of (ethnic group x/social group y) are scum! Let's (kill them/throw them out of our country/deprive them of their property rights)" then that feels like hate speech. That's a hell of a long way from either of the examples you link to.
As a test, let's take an example from a left-wing perspective of somebody linking a (generally supported - the UK public consistently backs a tougher line on welfare in polls) Government policy to murder. In this case, it's the murder of the disabled rather than the infanticide, but I think that's still pretty emotive. So: from the UK's Guardian newspaper. Is that hate speech?
If you answer "yes", at least you're consistent. If your answer is no, then it looks more like you're just demonstrating totalitarian instincts to suppress speech that goes against your own values.
Ha, only 729 ethnic or national slurs?

Yeah dude. Political scientists don't think like that and tend to be fairly serious minded men. If activists are putting in bogus data, its going to stick out like a sore thumb.
This seems to be more like some of the research google was doing spotting emerging trends via language use.
Go read the stuff about the 8 stage genocide model and specifically on the 'symbolization' phase. I suspect its more about looking for trends like where a population for instance stops saying "jews" and starts saying "kikes" or whatever, whith the observation that a population is heading towards the crucial dehumanization phase needed to allow people to sleep at night whilst committing genocide.

That's exactly my point--the Tea Partiers *wish* they were brave and fanatical enough to be terrorists, but they're too cowardly and self-centred either to put up, or to shut up.
I don't agree with Al-Qaeda's objectives but I can still recognise that their dedication to their cause is nothing to sneer at.
Also, while dismissing people's religious beliefs as "pychopathy" is perfectly valid in some contexts, it is not very smart at all in others.

Actually, it pretty much is - not necessarily a government per se but a body of power at least, which could include social shapers such as religions. Genocide is more than just being racist and killing others, it's a co-ordinated mass attempt at extermination. It requires a lot of funding, logistics, and particularly an extensive build-up of dehumanization of the target group. Which means propagation of such a message by newspaper, radio, television, and/or internet.

Apparently that wasn't the way the Rwandan Hutu/Tutsi genocide played out. There, the hate speech was on the radio, by radio talk show hosts. In Bosnia, it was by the various new political leaders of the new governments... but the governments were very new. Stalin's genocide of the Ukranians and Lithuanians was more like what you say.
The genocidal US "downwind" experiments, and the Tuskegee experiments, or Andrew Jackson's "trail of tears"....I'm not really aware of what went on before the events.
So I don't think you're completely wrong, but I think you don't have a big enough picture.

Actually, the accusation that Democrats support infanticide is based on more than the idea that abortion is infanticide. As the OP pointed out the starting point for the accusation is that Democrats almost uniformly support government funding of Planned Parenthood. In a legislative hearing on a bill to require abortion clinics to provide medical care to a baby born alive after an attempted abortion, Planned Parenthood's representative repeatedly stated that whether or not to provide any care to the infant (once it has actually been born, everyone agrees that it is an infant) should be a decision made by the mother and the doctor. When one reads what she was saying it is clear that she was supporting the right of the mother to allow her newborn child to die of exposure if the mother had been trying to abort the pregnancy. So, Planned Parenthood's representative was advocating, indirectly, for the right of the mother, in certain circumstances and in conjunction with a doctor, to perform infanticide. This was not a circumstance where the Planned Parenthood representative was ambushed and was not sure how to respond. She had gone before the legislature expressly to testify against this law. She should have known that this was the sort of question she was going to get. Therefore one can assume that the answers she gave were the ones that she prepared to give.
Of course, one of the things that is overlooked is that this law was introduced at the same time that an abortion doctor in another state is on trial for killing a woman who came to him for an abortion and for killing several babies that were born alive in his clinic after failed abortions. The deaths he is being charged for represent only a small sample of the deaths which occurred in his clinic. If you are interested in knowing more, search for Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the man ran a house of horrors (among other things, he kept preserved feet from the babies he aborted).

Freedom of speech is about the ability to say the things that nobody wants to hear. You don't have to like what they are saying, but you should respect their right to say it. It's only a matter of time before somebody dislikes what YOU are saying.

Look at the database, it's defining racial slurs as genocide indicators. i.e. Thought crimes.
When genocides occur, it's usually completely known about. They Hutus / Tutsis was known, happening, documented and we did pretty much nothing. Syria now, we know about and have not yet done anything.
Perversely the slow motion genocide that Israel performs against Palestine, the first thing they do when the west objects is to wheel out any remaining survivors of the second world war genocide for a tour. Attempting to use the pity for the genocide victims, as cover.... for genocide. Very bizarre.
I don't want to go back to the time when we couldn't criticize the appalling actions of Israel, lest you be accused of anti-semitism and have them trot out the Holocaust as justification as to why you should be silenced.... i.e. give Israel cover for its hate crimes.
I see this project is trying to hijack George Clooneys satellite genocide project, which seeks to spot mass graves in war zones to see if a genocide is in progress. That is far more useful. This looks like a trap to define speech as hate crime and thus permit controlling and monitoring of speech.

"waiguolao" definitely has a negative tone to it, and no it cannot be interpreted as "foreign elder". "waiguo" is "foreign country", you got this correct; but here "lao" is not the same Chinese character for "old/elder", it has ren (person) radical and it's a slur for a group of people. I think you confused it with "laowai", which is considered a neutral word to describe a foreigner by Chinese but not so much by the foreigners themselves.
Anyways, yes they both do it. 10 seconds of google and I found something that tops yours: Obama makes fun of disabled people:

Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
I'm curious what search terms you used. I just read the article you linked, and I would argue that the article is evidence *against* your point rather than for.
Firstly, it's from 4 years ago. The parent was talking about how stuff is said by republicans continually, and pointed out something from last week.
Secondly, the president reached out by phone to the head of the special olympics, profusely apologizing for the comments. Unless you can point to a more recent article where Obama, or any other Democrat, says something else disparaging then to me this means the comments was a one-time gaff and that the lesson was well learned.
I'm reminded of another discussion where someone pointed out how Democrats like, because one particular Democrat was discussed in a "false truth" article on politifact. However, when you start looking at the sum total of "false truth" articles on politifacts, Republicans outnumber Democrats by a pretty large ratio.
I used to think there was no difference between the Republicans and Democrats apart from who they pander to. But now I think that, while the Democrats arn't the 'good guys', they're the overwhelming lesser of two evils.
While on the subject of Planned Parenthood in a discussion of "hate speech" and "genocide", the racial breakdown of aborted fetuses in America is appalling, and in fact the number of Blacks killed by abortion in America outnumber all other causes of death combined. Hispanics arent far behind in these statistics.
I don't want to turn this into a "Planned Parenthood is racist" discussion, because that speaks to motives and I don't think motives matter. The end result matters, and its a fucking holocaust.

Sounds like you need a few more decades of it, assuming it helps at all in your situation.
the Tea Partiers *wish* they were brave and fanatical enough to be terrorists, but they're too cowardly and self-centred either to put up, or to shut up.
You're at the point where you're so divergent from reality that you're almost not even wrong. At least you still use labels that can be matched with real world things. There's no "wish" like that in the real world.
And while I understand the psychological need of political rivals to talk trash about the Tea Party movement, I don't understand at all the need to just make up wild shit. What is it about fiscal responsibility, honoring the Constitution (for those who care, a real "social contract"), and reduction in government power that brings out such "hate speech" to use the term of the day?
Also, while dismissing people's religious beliefs as "pychopathy" is perfectly valid in some contexts, it is not very smart at all in others.
Which contexts apply here? It looks to me like we're talking about the religious beliefs of "terrorists". The people who can on occasion be conned into believing that killing someone for the mere act of not sharing exactly to the last iota your beliefs, allows you to go to a heaven where there are X number of virgins to wait on your every need?
You mean those psychopaths? Sure, if they have my testicles hooked up to a battery or my neck on the chopping block, I would, no doubt, try to find a more diplomatic term for it, but that context doesn't apply here.
I don't agree with Al-Qaeda's objectives
This is the strongest criticism you can muster? Why do you disagree? Not a high enough body count? They could have better target selection? Because they commit great evil for crazy ends?
I find it interesting how you can make up outrageous stuff (no doubt with a sneer) about one group whose most vile crime is merely to disagree with you and then pussy-foot around a second group which deliberately targets and kills innocents on a regular basis. Even the US military doesn't do that and they've killed a lot of innocents over the years.
AH! Finally, a Redneck Thesaurus!
Whatever the motives of those involved with Planned Parenthood today (and you are correct that end results are more important than motives), it is clear from their writings that those who started Planned Parenthood had racist motives. That is, one of their goals in establishing Planned Parenthood was to reduce the number of minorities as a percentage of the population.
The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. James Madison
...if you approach the debate (as some people do) with the starting point that foes "life begins at conception" then abortion is infanticide.
Sincerity of belief, per se, isn't a criteria for determining hate speech - e.g. sincerely believing one is part of a superior ethnic group that must persecute an inferior ethnic group in order to be safe.
Having a government approval for genocide is a requirement for committing genocide because otherwise it will shut down your operation by force.
Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
to do something that any idiot with 5 seconds looking at an Economy can do. Here's a hint: If a lot of people don't have food and there's a nearby ethnic group that makes a good scapegoat you've got a Genocide on your hands. Don't like it? Give 'em food. Seriously ppl, if we hadn't shit all over the Germans at the end of WWI Hitler never woulda got anywhere.

The combination of expected consequences of such actions and the assumption that anyone who disagrees with you about them is arguing in bad faith. The expected consequences of Tea Party policies are (in the opinion of its opponents) bad, and since they are self-obviously so (since otherwise said opponents would have to consider that they might be wrong), Tea Party members must be aware of them too, and are thus knowingly and willingly advocating actions which have bad outcomes - clearly, such monsters must be reviled.
Most online discussions tend to go that way, no matter what the subject.

I wonder what will happen if I search that database for "the streets will flow with the blood of the non believers" because Google is coming up with some cartoon...
Ah, yes, where would we be without the ignorant to tell us what "hate speech" should mean? You see this as "hate speech". I see this as an example of the new civility in politics. The fact that you considered these even worthy of discussion indicates to me the total bankruptcy of modern political correctness. Feel free to go back to the infanticide, bestiality, or whatever it is you do when you aren't posting insipidly on Slashdot.
That we had already established beyond any reasonable doubt that hateful language was a predictor of genocide?
Religion is what happens when nature strikes and groupthink goes wrong.
The "crowd" will include activists for one (or more) sides of contentious political disputes, who will feed the database with typical word choices of their enemies, in the hope of branding them as potential genocide perpetrators. The result will be a produce far more false positives than true ones (if it produces any of the latter at all).
Having just examined the contents of the database, so far it appears to contain a lot of terms not widely used since the sixties or even the 19th Century. Time will tell how impartial this database is.
And while I understand the psychological need of political rivals to talk trash about the Tea Party movement, I don't understand at all the need to just make up wild shit. What is it about fiscal responsibility, honoring the Constitution (for those who care, a real "social contract"), and reduction in government power that brings out such "hate speech" to use the term of the day?
This is a strawman. The tea party doesn't want to honour the constitution, they just want their interpretation of it. Examples are the 1st amendment, tea partiers seem to be fine with repressing speech if they label it national security, child porn or various other talking points. 2nd amendment, tea party has no problem having a whole class of people barred from owning firearms, they just maintain the medieval concept of felon to deny basic rights rather then like in my country where a judge has to order that someone can't own firearms due to misuse of firearms usually, not having a joint in their possession 40 years before.
Fiscal responsibility? More like decreasing spending on things they don't like while increasing spending on their pet projects and causes. My government is very tea like and they've blown the surplus and put us into debt while cutting like hell but increasing spending on other things all the while screaming about how they're fiscally responsible, bastards.
Reducing power of government? More like getting rid of things they don't like like science, environmental stuff and such while drastically increasing governments power to spy on its citizens, jail them for anything they don't like, take away basic rights like having fair elections and so much more.
And to stay sort of on topic, they're much worse for political correct speech, just that instead of hatred, it is economic. Try labeling the bitimous sands as tar sands and they'll come down on you way worse then liberals ever enforced hate speech.

Yep. That is a straw man. Do you have a real argument?
Even in Texas, you nazis are being hunted down. Your IP address has been logged, and given the recent murder investigation in Texas, you will probably be considered a person of interest.
They could just watch for one group of people moving to a new area and taking already scarce resources away from the native ones. That's about 90% of genocides right there.
Stormy I guess, heh?
I can't really be bothered to dig through all of your cognitive dissonance and other bullshit.
Though I must say that I particularly like the bit where you link texts that "prove" non-existence of islamophobia - by a columnist who can't even keep his own straw man up.
From TFA, after rattling out a tirade of anecdotal crimes committed by Muslims:
Given the abundant evidence of violent cause and fearful effect, involving a small percentage of antagonists, the general charge of Islamophobia is an ideological fabrication.
See? There's no such thing as islamophobia as there is nothing to fear about Muslims - except in all these cases I just listed here, not trying to scare you or to say that "all" Muslims are bad, just the ones I know of.
Oh, and that bit of clairvoyance... Beautiful.
Then we have the genocides soon to come.
Or are you perchance a time traveler?
Either way, why are you such an asshole? Why don't you go and warn those people?
It should be easy for you to prove the veracity of your claims to them - after all, you have access to the future news.
We won't even talk about the historical genocides of approximately one million Armenians by Turkish jihadis in 1915, or the hundreds of thousands slaughtered by the two Bosnian Muslim SS divisions in World War II (raised by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Amin_al-Husayni - the bastard who told Hitler the idea of the "Final Solution", stating "Who remembers the Armenians").
Being a Bosnian from Tuzla, I could point out that the nonsense stated above is beyond wildest dreams of right-wing idiots who favor the idea of an SS division comprised of local population.
Seriously, there are local morons who would LOVE to be able to point to "hundreds of thousands slaughtered by the two Bosnian Muslim SS divisions" - on all the right sides.
Right-wing Serbs would like to point them out as evil executioners of Serbs (despite well documented cooperation between both sides), while right-wing Muslims would like to take pride in being executioners to "hundreds of thousands" of Serbs.
And right-wing Croats... Well, the unit WAS Croatian after all.
Trouble is... Well...
First there's this problem of there being ONLY ONE Bosnian Muslim division - 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian).
Then there's the issue of it barely being a division, and the fact that they couldn't get enough Muslims to make it a division - so they liberally added Volksdeutschers and Catholic Croats to fill the ranks.
Which is not surprising, since the division was raised by Croatian political leadership (originally they wanted to make it a "SS Ustasa Division", and the unit was referred to as "Croatian SS-Volunteer Division" - and since it was the brainchild of one Heinrich Himmler.
All al-Husseini had with the entire project was some rather unsuccessful recruiting.
How unsuccessful? Well, besides the above mentioned lack of Muslims, the division is best remembered for the mutiny attempt during training in France.
It is also well remembered for desertions and generally only being effective when they were vastly outnumbering the enemy.
As for the war crimes, all that the Communist Yugoslavian government could come up with was
Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens
Yep, clearly hate speech causes genocide.
Seastead this.
Not one peep about what is happening to Sikhs in Punjab. Hello, Silicon Valley? Oh, I almost forgot. They do not control the banks, media and academia.
I'm not going to pick sides in that one; but if you approach the debate (as some people do) with the starting point that foes "life begins at conception" then abortion is infanticide.
"Life" is not sufficient to call something a person. Nothing can be gained from discussing abortion with people who do not understand that, and at some point society has to bring down the banhammer.
If somebody says "All members of (ethnic group x/social group y) are scum! Let's (kill them/throw them out of our country/deprive them of their property rights)" then that feels like hate speech.
"Scum" and "convicted felons" are social groups, too.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
Yeah dude. Political scientists don't think like that and tend to be fairly serious minded men. If activists are putting in bogus data, its going to stick out like a sore thumb.
That would be true if there was a large amount of speech on the subject to begin with.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
Just the opposite. The term "ethnic cleansing" is mostly used by journalists to imply "genocide" while only having evidence of ethnic discrimination or prejudice. Ex: Kosovo.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
The best you can come up with are ad hominems and projection? I think we're done here. Have a nice day.

"those people" "those (ethnicity plural)" "the (ethnicity plural)"
Get lost. I find it quite offensive what our forebears did to both Jews and blacks. To continue it or other offenses in the name of anything would be obscene.
And I don't like your lol, either.
