And by "concerted focused effort" does that mean we beat them within an inch of their lives until they promise never to do it again? Because that's what it's gonna take.

Why bother with stopping at an inch? We didn't beat the nazis by doing that. Stamp out racism where ever it is found.

We didn't fight Nazi Germany because they were racist. We fought them because they attacked us (through their ally, Japan). The sad truth is there were a lot of Americans who were ok with Nazi ideology.
