  • i guess it depends which quote. I like "It is good for leaders that their people do not think"
  • well if it's like "jews suck" then yes, that's racist.
  • Hitler wasn't a dumb man. While he was a mass murderer and had no moral value he was still a genius. So we can't say just because of his lack of empathy he wasn't smart. So I feel many quotes of Hitlers could be "liked" in different contextes. (if that made no sense sorry I'm half asleep"
  • Not racist exactly, but before you respect something someone said you need to consider the source. Hitler was an evil, dememted man.
  • Yes, it is considered racist to recite some quotes and speeches he made about people of the religion Judaism being exterminated.
  • No it's not racist it's more like ignorance. His views were so skewed I don't see how one can discern the good from the bad.
  • why do you keep asking bad questions? lol
  • As long as they arn't racist quotes.
  • as long as you don't see them as racist, or try to use them for racist reasons

  • To call it racist to like some of Hitler's quotes is in it self censorship and if what you read stimulated a thought or a purpose to read and to learn is enlighteneing for you. What you do with this information is your buisness. If Mein Kampf were not in print in our society we would live in a Police State that opposed thought opposed reading of books that would enlighten the people to know the truth. If these books were not in print the true nature of what happened in world war two could some day be thought to have been nothing but a rumour. Books carry with them the truth, and if the truth were to be lost who is to say that world war two or the great war, di not happen; what if they in the future said we do not recall because there will come a time when the participants of that unfortunate time have all but died. And the only record of the great struggle were in books that we discarded and there were no records to account of the war. Before long people will have forgot of such things. And if one is not to learn from the past,they are bound to repeaat the lessons of the past. They gone to war again
  • No... How on Earth could it be? Well, maybe if Hitler is quoted as saying something specifically and entirely racist, and you say you 'like' that quote... That could be considered racist as it implies that you 'agree' with it as well... Aside from something like that, you can like things that he said as much as you want to, and it won't mean you are a racist (merely someone who likes some of the things that Hitler once said, which is not itself necessarily a bad thing {depending on the quote}).
  • It might be naive. Hitler, like many charismatic leaders, sometimes said things with enough truth in them to suck unthinking people in, and before they knew it, they were thinking his way.
  • well, in one sense hitler was a world class marketing guru... just like today...anybody will buy anything if marketted to, correctly. unfortunately, hitler probably could have done wonderful things for his people and maybe the world if he could have kept his mind out of the gutter of evil. power corrupts... total power corrupts totally... its a tough thing to be next to god... and its so easy to become obsessed with your own thoughts of grandeur
  • It is not racist to admire some ones quotes if that is all that it is an admiration, where this is dangerous is the acting out of his quotes. And it is only that we are in a democracy that those writing would be denied you in other words censorship don't for get it.
  • It depends on which ones. Like all racists, Hitler said some "good" things in his life. Of course, just because some of the things he said were good does not mean he was.
  • I don't know about quotes, but Hitler wore pants. Is it racist to wear pants?
  • It would depend on the quotes. For instance, you could be a racist if you like this quote: "I don't see much future for the Americans … it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities … my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance...everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?" Source and further information: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Hitler
