<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tompkins316, post: 1117334, member: 28947&quot;]I gotta say I totally agree with Duke Kavanaugh and ratpack and such...</p><p><br /></p><p>While the actions of the KKK are totally despicable and they are ignorance and bigotry incarnate, I can definitely understand why someone would want to collect these pieces. Now, if they collected and believed and encouraged the KKK&#039;s values than they are wrong and ignorant as well. However, if they collected them for historical value, I see absolutely nothing wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no interest in these coins, but I do have a very strong interest in Nazi coins and medals. Am I a nazi? absolutely not and I think the things that occurred under Nazi rule were some of the worst in all of history. But I want to collect Nazi coins and medals because they are a part of one of the biggest events in the history of the world. I find it so fascinating how it all came about and the events that took place. I am a bad person for this interest? No way. I&#039;m not hanging up swastikas on my walls and preaching Mein Kampf, I simply have and interest in this part of history. Are people that read books about Charles Manson and Ted Bundy supporters of serial killing? of course not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think its wrong to judge or condemn someone if they do have an innocent, history based interest in these types of controversial things. And it&#039;s also wrong to try to destroy or eliminate these things from existence. Like it was already said, these items are reminders of the horrors of the past, and they will prevent such things from happening in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
