What is such a weird thing for me is that I am a white, Anglo-American woman whose grandmother's name was Wharton. I really dislike this witch hunt against whites, and of course that is what it is. The witch hunts were a spill over of the intellectual monastic class reading Latin literature on witch craft from the pagan era. Since it was in books, surely it must be there in reality. So eventually people, convinced that there were witches went hunting for them, and they found them. The trials were made of such statements as, "Did you, or did you not shape shift your neighbor into a pig?" And the "witches" who were basically crazy said they had done it, they admitted to it. Now we have people who have steeped themselves in Nazi literature to the point that they have to find real, deal Nazis and so they figure that "whites must be holding them," But no defends the witch hunts and history won't be kind to these modern day witch hunts. Looking where none exist.
