A respected Saskatchewan Indian leader said Friday Hitler did the right thing when he "fried" six million Jews during the Second World War.Mr. Ahenakew then goes on repeat uncritically everything the defeated Germans said to him about Jews when he was stationed there in the Canadian Army in the 1950s.
Ahenakew said the Canadian army was trying to liberate the world when it fought in Europe during the Second World War, not liberate Jews. When reminded the Nazis committed genocide against a variety of ethnic and social groups, he said "exactly, they were trying to clean up the world."Mr. Ahenakew clearly fails to appreciate the irony in his statement.
He then goes on to criticize "bigotry in city schools."
"My great grandson goes to school here in Saskatoon. These goddamned immigrants -- East Indians, Pakistanis, Afghanistan, whites and so forth -- call him a dirty little Indian. He's the cleanest of the old goddamn works there. That's what I'm saying. It's starting right there, at six years old."Indeed, Mr. Ahenakew, and at what age did your Jew-hatred start? Oh I forgot. You are a brown-skinned person, so by definition (warped academic multi-cultural definitions, that is) you can't be a bigot. But - those Pakistanis and Afghanistanis, they are also brown-skinned people! So if they call your great-grandson a "dirty little Indian" they can't be bigots either! Only white people can be bigots! Like Hitler! No, uh, I guess not. After all, Hitler tried to clean up the world! Yeah! By eliminating the white Jews! But, but, according to Hitler they weren't white, and he was trying to create a super-race of pure white people. I'm, I'm, uh, confused . . . I guess I need some diversity training or something . . .
