->''"People always say that if they had a time machine, they would use it to kill Hitler. If I had a time machine, I don't think I would kill anyone. I don't think time travel is the one thing holding me back from taking a human life. There are Hitleresque dictators out there right now and I have never even considered personally killing them. Saying you'd kill Hitler if only you had a time machine is like saying you would kill Assad if only you had a plane ticket."''

->"The name Hitler does not offend a black South African because Hitler is not the worst thing a black South African can imagine. [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality Every country thinks their history is the most important, and that’s especially true in the West]]. But if black South Africans could go back in time and kill one person, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Rhodes Cecil Rhodes]] would come before Hitler. If people in the Congo could go back in time and kill one person, Belgium’s [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium King Leopold]] would come way before Hitler. If Native Americans could go back in time and kill one person, it would probably be UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus or UsefulNotes/AndrewJackson.

->"I often meet people in the West who insist UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust was the worst atrocity in human history, without question. Yes, it was horrible. But I often wonder, with African atrocities like in the Congo, how horrific were they? The thing Africans don’t have that Jewish people do have is documentation. The Nazis kept meticulous records, took pictures, made films. … Six million killed. We can all look at that number and be rightly horrified. But when you read through the history of atrocities against Africans, there are no numbers, only guesses. It’s harder to be horrified by a guess. When Portugal and Belgium were plundering Angola and the Congo, they weren’t counting the black people they slaughtered. How many black people died harvesting rubber in the Congo? In the gold and diamond mines of the Transvaal? So in Europe and America, yes, Hitler is the Greatest Madman in History. In Africa [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he’s just another strongman from the history books.]]"
