Are you denying the historical factuality of what I wrote? I have been a
Germanophile (Goethe, Schiller, Heine, Kafka, Gras, Dürrenmatt; Dürer;
Luther; Hegel, Kant, Nietzsche, Heidigger; Mozart, Glück, Haydn,
Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Bruch, Weber, Bach, Händel, Orff)
since I was a child, I have never been a Nazi or sympathized with their
doctrines. On the other hand, there were and still are a few black Nazis.

Unh, no. I have *much* better things to do with my time and energy.

Thank you for showing the deference that I, a 60-year old, deserve.

Yes, I have written about this extensively in the past because I consider
it to be an issue that many representatives of the younger generations do
not fully understand. The Nazis made a pseudo-science out of racism, and
one of the main dimensions of WW II in Europe was pseudo-science-based
racism. This was no flash in the pan, but rather a construct built on an
already extant edifice of pseudo-scientific anthropometrical racism.

P.S. Your uncanny ability to misrepresent people's intentions may
eventually earn you a Nobel Prize.
