While reading about this story, I have the impression that the police won't shoot white people

55. It has everything to do with your point

Genocide is genocide believe it or not — whether it's against Jews or enslaved Africans and there's no denying that hundreds of thousands of Africans died during the hundreds of years of the middle passage. That's not that hard to understand.

And IMO you're being quite insensitive to the not-so-sudden rash of killings and violence that's come to the fore because most people now have cell phones and can document police murder of mostly African Americans. Whereas before, for over a century and a half since the end of slavery, these killings and beatings by cops was done routinely but are now exposed for all the world to see.

So you see, were talking thousands of killings spanning many decades so calling it genocide is not that farfetched.

Thank God for cell phone technology that has taken the blinders off for people that are willing to actually see.
