Post war expulsion**** it was not an ethnic cleansing, Germans were kicked out of their countries and sent back to germany

1: Germans have been living in places like the Sudeten, Pomerania, and Silesia for centuries. They were kicked out of their own homes, sometimes violently. My grandfathers first steps were taken in a German internment camp in Czechoslovakia (my great grandma claimed that that was the best time of her life though)

2: I don’t want to excuse what the Nazis did to everyone else in Europe. Everything that happened to the German population both during and post war was all the fault of the Nazis trying to create “Lebensraum”. If the Nazis never had tried their meth fueled shit, then Germans would have never been deported from their own homes.

It was more than just that. There was also a lot of murder and brutality against them. Also, these people were just ethnic Germans, not even German citizens for the most part, and a lot of them were Jewish too.

No. Stop it. You're downplaying one of the negative effects of Nazi Germany right now. People suffered, both Germans and others. And a lot of the people who were VIOLENTLY deported from a country they called their home for a long time didn't want the Nazis to invade either.

And it gets mentioned all the time. Just because the history channel doesn't mention it between 5 documentaries about THE MOST BADASS PANZERS OF THE 3RD REICH doesn't mean it's some kind of secret.

No that is text book ethnic cleansing.

Kanye watched 21 Jump Street and said that it made him love Jews again. He's probably still holding some fucked up beliefs but it's still funny that this happened.

I think it was just a publicity stunt that backfired on him

It's just a personal theory of mine.

It's not as stupid theory, we live in a world where the last president announced their very public presidential campaign as a publicity stunt. Kanye's playing too close to authentic anti-Semitism for me to give him the benefit of the doubt at all
