The lighting of the Olympic Torch today brought a tear to my eye when it evoked that moment at the 1936 Berlin Olympics when a young yamaka-wearing German athlete, a symbol of Aryan purity, lit that Olympic Torch. That moment was made even more memorable when a group of Hitler's personal SS bodyguard hoisted the athlete onto their shoulders in celebration and then playfully tossed him into the flames so that he could enjoy the honor not only of lighting the torch but also helping to fuel it. Little know fact: The CCP had planned to have Peng Shuai light the torch today but had to change their plans at the very last moment when it was discovered that she had accidently doused herself from head to toe with gasoline.

@darajan6 Not sure where the negative reaction is coming from! Everything I said was very nice about the CCP!

@otherways4786 You have to salute the CCP for courage! In 1936, the Nazis did not try and use a Jewish athlete to counter critics even though they had not gotten the Holocaust in full swing yet, they had only passed the Nuremberg laws that dehumanized the Jews but weren’t actively killing them quite yet. The CCP, on the other hand, did not let what they’re currently doing stop them from using a Uighur as their symbol to try and silence World critics. All hail the leadership of Xi Jinping and the CCP!
