But you haven't spoken to any Japanese people, am I right ?
Minorities in the U.S.A have survived American crimes in America. Was it because one side was right and the other wrong ? KKK thought they were fighting against the spread of communism(civil rights movement) whereas African Americans were screaming injustices committed against them by the KKK. Which side was right ? Which side was just ?
You choose to be overly sympathetic to the victims of Nanjing while denying any possibility that there may have been a motive for allowing said atrocities to happen by China's leaders who either had prior knowledge and who were not concerned, or were also a part of these claimed massacres on a political level.
Had Kennedy turned his back on the Civil Rights Movement because of Roosevelts claims that Martin Luther King had ties to Communism(which he did have by the way), would Kennedy have been justified in his decision to deny the passing of the Civil Rights Act ? No. He understood the two evils clearly and was able to distinguish between what was clearly propoganda and what was fact. ("How many negroes were raped and massacred from 1600 to 1950?") If I said thousands more than Nanjing then you'd probably say I was fulll of Sh$T. Moreover, because Nanjing didn't take place on American soil it's fair game for the bleeding heart liberals to attack Japan for atrocities its own government has committed.
