Dinesh D'Souza's New Film Claims Democrats Once Too Racist for Nazis
Dinesh D’Souza’s newest film will not only make the controversial claim that Donald Trump has a lot in common with Honest Abe Lincoln, but will also suggest that Democrats were once too racist even for Nazis.
According to a clip provided exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter, the film, Death of a Nation, from the conservative provocateur contains a scene where several Nazis are discussing how they should identify Jews in the 1930s.
“How does the American identify the Negro?” asks one Nazi.
“One drop rule. Any discernible black ancestry makes one count as black,” says another.
“Even if someone acts white, they could still be counted as black?” a third Nazi asks.
That’s when D’Souza, who narrates the documentary, intones: “As for the Democratic one-drop rule, incredibly the Nazis found it too racist even for them.”

“The meeting we dramatize in the film occurred on June 5, 1934, shortly after Hitler's ascent to power,” he says. “Present was a young justice ministry lawyer named Heinrich Krieger, who had studied in Arkansas and had done research into American race law.”
D’Souza says he also used as a source the book Racism, by George Fredrickson.
“Krieger knew and the Nazis knew what most American textbooks suppress — namely that every segregation law in the American South was passed by a Democratic legislature, signed by a Democratic governor and enforced by Democratic officials,” says D’Souza.
History's a bitch, ain't it dims?
