MWP3 Article 2 Summary

In article two of my academic research for our third major writing project, the author displays the similarities between the racism in the 1936 german hosted olympic gamds and the 1904 olympic games held in St. Louis during the same generation. In the 1936 olympics, Hitler projected his Aryan Supremecy Iideals over every other race: while in the St. Louis olympics, general white supremecy was displayed. This trend  of white supremecy would not only include racism against africans but also the thought of ultimate supremecy. As Sean Edgecomb  implies during his article, “It was also during this period that organised movements of Nordicism and Germanicism, which favoured light-haired and light-eyed Europeans from the north and west of Europe over their Eastern European counterparts, fermented.” These supremecist thoughts and beliefs did not aspire out of thin air. They were indeed modeled from a country much younger than the european ones who implemented their very essance. Edwin Black suggests. “While Hitler’s race hatred sprung from his own mind, the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America.”
