Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law was an eye-opening, but sadly, unsurprising book. That's not a criticism of the book, it is a criticism of our country. I used to be such a patriot. I used to get upset with people who bough foreign cars. I quoted Schurz constantly, "“My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
I sang this song at karaoke and to myself as well. And then I grew up. After reading
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian, I started to question everything. And then the election of 2016 happened and everything changed. And I am ashamed. And I am sad.
