brunhiddensmusings: voidingintotheshout:r4cs0:amishsicario: They were relocated to the afterlife Yeah like the 80 million people that died during the African slave trade that were murdered in the genocide white people committed against Black people or the millions of people that died in the genocide that white people committed against Native Americans. Instead of just focusing on the Armenian genocide, why don’t we focus on all of the people that white people and their countries were responsible for killing in the triangle trade, slavery of African-Americans and the destruction of countless native cultures, not to mention killing millions of native Americans before and after smallpox. maybe because it’s easier for white people to focus on the Armenian genocide then to focus on the fact that their ancestors were probably responsible for either looking the other way while Native Americans and Black people were murdered or were responsible for the murder of Native Americans, and Black people. Maybe because it’s easier to focus on the sins of turkey then to wash the blood off your grandma‘s hands. nobody im aware of (that we take seriously at least) is arguing america hasnt been guilty of serious shitty historical atrocitiesthats not the point of this though, the point is theres quite a few other countries that have been guilty of heinous crimes and nobody seems to register that, often because they would preffer to point at the crimes of america, and occasionally also the crimes of england instead of realizing that not only are there dozens of similar things happened that are rarely acnowleged but also that many of them are still happening and nobody bats an eye because theyd rather pat themselves on the back for highlighting the crimes of people we mostly all agree were repugnant “Why should we care about the horrible actions that are currently happening that we could actually do something about when instead we can focus on bad things white people did hundreds of years ago?” -- source link
