What a complicated story and yet apparently everyone involved was trying to do good for people. But burning books is not the way to do it. I'm not sure that it matters what the woman's racial background is. She was trying to help, but only succeeded in causing more dissention and bad feelings. People need to meet together and talk out their issues and concerns. Burning books doesn't help.

Who deals with unwanted history / historical facts and artifacts by burning books? The level of ignorance is breathtaking. It could actually become a furtile ground for a revisionist history take some day with claims that those prejudice books never existed.

They called their book burning "The Giving Back to Mother Earth project." (!!)

1984 repeats itself: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

The characters in the video are from a comic book series in Europe called Asterix.
