Jeannette!!! Thanks for dropping by, it's very lovely to see your name pop up. I know this isn't a read that you would've agreed with.

I don't think I can write an article that makes an argument for Hitler and find Jewish people who agree - but I can make an argument to some Jewish people that overall the Holocaust may have been a net-positive to their individual family experience in the fullness of time. They may have relocated to the US in the 1930s, you could even make the argument that without Nazis there is no Israel in 1948. I can also make the argument that the Nazis forwarded technological advances across society (mostly in opposition to the Nazis) but helicopters are a good example of something that came out of WWII to have a net-benefit to society.... as anyone who has been rushed to hospital in one will attest. It's not that the Nazis need defending but that a wider picture of costs and benefits arises when you consider with cold dispassionate neutrality.

Now I appreciate cold dispassionate neutrality is not where you're sitting on this one. And nor should you. Cold dispassionate neutrality is my middle name. So here's a genuine question for you - and of course you don't have to answer because that's not really what life is like. Would a future Espinoza, two hundred years from now... capable of looking at counterfactual histories. Would that Espinoza consider YOU the lucky Espinoza, or would they consider an alternate time-line in which Jeannette C Espinoza remained in Africa to be the lucky one? That itself is a complicated question and I appreciate it has many moving parts - however, if the answer is that YOU are considered the lucky one and not African Jeannette, then there's something emerging out of the horror which is potentially worth fighting to keep.

White supremacy as written in the caribbean and exported around the US and Western World is indeed a stupid, insidious and ridiculous concept - but as written I'd argue it has been shelved. There are some benefits to people who aren't white. The economic success of middle-class black US Citizens far exceeds the global average wage, there has been some movement - albeit not enough and given reluctantly. I've asked Estacious (Charles White) a few questions in another comment and I'd love to get your opinion too - why do you think the core concepts of White Supremacy have been particularly pernicious in the US? What is it that's unique about the US psychology and national heritage that has allowed such festering to remain while it has dropped away elsewhere in the world?

I appreciate you dropping by as always and your thoughtful reply. Hope all is good with you and glad you enjoyed the piece even if you wholeheartedly disagreed. Especially as you wholeheartedly disagreed. There isn't enough of that on Medium. :o)
