Hate and Nazis
Hate is always and will always be part of our lives. Every day a new crime is committed and more are becoming to be about hate. People Hate other and it get a time when they discharge in violent ways in the hated. In Andrew Sullivan's article "What so Bad About Hate" he goes deep into discussing hate, while in Amy Benfer's article "Furrow's People" and Tom Reiss "Hate, USA" both focus more on discussing about nazism as a kind of hate. Unlike Benfer, who stays more in Furrows case and compound, Reiss goes more general and gives several examples about Nazis and its crimes. Furrow was a normal guy that belonged to an Aryan Nation compound. Later he cold-blooded killed 5 Jewish citizens in LA., including 3 children. Reiss hung out with some Nazis for some time in the 90's, while trying to find out how nazism originated and what are the ideals that let this people. Nazis are afraid of new majorities razing, therefore they think that the white raze is being overcome and loosing its power, and the only way to stop them is by creating the so called "holly war." Sullivan in his article "What so Bad About Hate," states that guys like Furrow are born from an American subculture. They are often "poorly socialized psycho
People will never know what lead these people to do what they do. Although many of these so called Nazis does not commit any crime, they often intimidate others specially Jewish and blacks. It might be because they are afraid someday that their race might be overcame by the one they hate. It is just like Sullivan says, they are born in subcultures, just like Furrow in his Aryan Nation compound where they are filled with hate ideology and rage. Although Sullivan says that hate derives with in hate, according to Benfer and Reiss there are no proofs that Nazi parties where born because they were hated groups. Benfer leads to believe that she is worried because of this assumption is beginning to been take by nazis groups. Reiss says the nazi movement was reborn after WWII as a contrast to the hippies movement of peace and love. While Sullivan compares hate with racism, according to Benfer's article Nazis thinks that being a nazi is not about hate, "it's about love of your own kind"(Benfer 1). Aryan Nations says that they are leading a holy war to make the world safer for white Christians. They feel that the government is controlled by the Jewish, blacks control the cities and because of this, the white race is on his way to extinction. Nazis claim that being what they are is to be denied of your civil rights. The author explains that listening to them was like "reading the civil rights movement," except you have to change the word black by white (Benfer 2). Sullivan states that violence is a result from hate. He compares hate with racism, but in comparison with a hater, the racist is more desperate to express it violently. He gives the example of a boy that was beaten to death, just for being black. "Every time I drove my foot into his [expletive], I felt better." This was written to describe the brutal assault against a black boy (Sullivan 6). He also states that prejudice expressed by groups that has greater power is always less than the ones marginalized. In accordance with Benfer, Reiss agrees that the holy war developing. He gives the example of two neo-nazis that killed a black man in a bus stop and shot a nurse for trying to help him. They kill him for the only reason of being black. The same day they shot another black man, but luckily did
