What if?

I've been watching the news about Muslims all over the world protesting the racist cartoons printed in a right wing Dutch newspaper. The right wing is eating it up, of course, calling those who protest "animals" and the like who hate free speech. The left wing is forced to explain how these simplistic views are wrong.

But I've been thinking about it in a different way these last few days. I've been thinking "What if?" thoughts.

What if, when Goebbels initiated his campaign of racist propaganda against Jews in 1933, thousands of Jews and their supporters had demonstrated around the world?

What if, when Stepnfetchit and Sambo were popular, thousands of Africans and their supporters had demonstrated around the world?

Do we really want to go on record as being AGAINST those who protest racism?
