Help[Opinions] Re: Insults people should stop using for names
in reply to a message by Anneza
Trevor Noah, comedian, had a friend named Hitler. He spoke about an incident in his autobiography. In South Africa, apartheid was meant to inspire hate in the Africans torwards each other, not the government. So to keep them pacified, I believe, Hitler was not discussed broadly in school.
That's what I meant. People in Africa are advancing and reading more, and becoming politicians. I'm just saying, that people are only taught what others want them to know.
This can cause unfortunate situations, like how Trevor's friend Hitler was at a social gathering with South African Jews. And when Trevor's friends cheered "Go Hitler!" many times, it came off as disrespectful. The Jews said so, hut Trevor didn't know what they did so wrong.
Naturally, they got kicked out of the building.
The history must be very different regarding Rhodesia (named by its people, Zimbabwe). I appreciate your reply.
Yes, some people are grateful for their freedom. South Africans actually respected Hitler for convincing white folks to team up with blacks. That's the only good thing that came out of it. Now people hate Germans, as many people hate Arabs after 9/11.
I didn't mean to make it a history lesson, but I like exchanging facts with others. And I want to know what you think.
