Re: Unpopular opinions
(Anonymous) 2015-09-11 09:10 am (UTC)(link)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.
