Photo of Gehenna Valley

Vita Min, you are incorrect in what you are saying and you are incorrect in what you seem to be implying. You seem to imply that it's okay to be a racist because a bad Jew coined the term. He did not. Trotsky certainly used the term. But if you do a quick internet search, you'll see that it was used before Trotsky. It's an urban legend that he used it first. Often, extreme conservatives and neo-Nazis use this legend to defend their racist behavior. It's wrong to condemn and entire race of people because we don't like something that some of them, or even many of them, do or don't do. We are individuals who are accountable for our own behavior.
