Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think they're wrong on most of their points. But their rhetoric sometimes bothers me.

Like when they refer to what the police are doing to black people as genocide.

No. Just no.

Speaking as someone with an Armenian grandmother, that makes me rage.

Yes, the police unfairly target black people, but that is NOWHERE NEAR the systematic slaughter that an ethnic or racial group has faced. Where MILLIONS of people are killed.

Black people's fraction of the US population has increased over time and is continuing to increase.

It's police brutality, yes. But it is NOT genocide. And FUCK the people who try to equate the two.

I think that the word 'genocide' is one of the most commonly misused ones nowadays. I can't even remember the last time somebody was talking about genocide and it was an actual genocide. It's become "a few people are killed, yes this is genocide".

Re: Unpopular opinions

Expand, please.

Can you give an example where you feel the term has been misused? Particularly one where it's a real instance of an ongoing campaign of ethnic-based violence? What are the criteria you want to use? Why do you think this happens?

I'm the anon that AYRT replied to.

In regards to "Can you give an example where you feel the term has been misused?" um…did you not read my original post?

Black Lives Matter activists FREQUENTLY describe black people in the United States as facing genocide (especially at the hands of police). Which…is just patently false and insulting to any groups that HAVE faced actual genocide.

The Armenians during WWI, the Jews during WWII, the Tutsi during Rwanda -- all are examples of genocide.

Black people in the USA? Absolutely not. And it's demeaning and insulting to pretend otherwise.

Genocide doesn't JUST mean oppression and hostility. It means a SYSTEMATIC SLAUGHTER of of a SIGNIFICANT portion of a particular group that is part of a policy of extermination.

Black people in the USA are oppressed, no doubt about it, but by no means has a significant portion of black people been executed by the state. Nor is the targeted killing of black people encoded in a government policy.
