I have read the first hand accounts of many of the innocent citizens who went through so much and some even lost their lives due to the color of their skin alone. It's a horrible history to say the least. BUT to compare that to Nazism? He is so far off base it's scary. I guess he needs to sit down with some Nazi Concentration Camp survivors and visit the Holocaust museum again. America had some bad laws that were fixed and then it took a while for the cultural aspects to catch up, but we never practiced genocide here -- ever.
