1. "Washington and Jefferson engaged in slavery, which was every bit as genocidal as anything Stalin did."
Not only one of the stupidest comments to date...
....but demonstrates how little you know of modern history.
2." We could also talk about what happened to the Native Americans."
Outside of your technique of simply fabricating, you can't talk about it because you don't have a clue.
You'd simply mouth the anti-white, anti-American mumbo jumbo that all you Leftists put out as fact...
3. "Stalin and Pol killed very few people, themselves. They had people who were willing to do the killing for them.."
A distinction without a difference.
You really should look into suing any institution that foisted off a degree that to you as a representation of learning....
...open and shut case for you.
As much as I hate doing your OCD number thing.
1. Slavery was very genocidal... Up to half the slaves taken from Africa never made it to America alive. Millions more were worked to death when they got here. And that's with crappy pre-industrial technology.
How many people died in the Atlantic Slave Trade?
Philip Curtin, 1969, The Atlantic slave trade: A census - conservative figure of about 9 million
Joseph E. Inikori, 1976, “Measuring the Atlantic slave trade”: 15 million
Patrick Manning, 1998, W.E.B. DuBois Institute Data Set of Slaving Voyages.
· 12 million transported with 10.5 million arriving alive in the Americas
In short, just as bad as anything that happened under Stalinism.
2- Sorry, if you aren't even going to acknowledge the genocide of Native Americans (it's one of those facts like Evolution and Global Warming and the Heliocentric System you tards have a problem with, I guess..) I'm not sure if there's much I can do to educate you.
It's always easier to talk about how ugly the neighbors kids are...
3- No, actually, it's a very big difference.
If Obama got up tomorrow and said, "Kill all the Republicans", his own folks- most of them anyway, would figured he lost his mind. The Secret Service would tackle him, and they'd invoke the 25th Amendment.
But in a country like Cambodia after 20 years of war, or Russia after 10 years of war, where everyone knew someone who had been killed as a result of the invastions and collaborations and so on, the winners are usually happy to kill the losers.
So yeah, Pol Pot sounds horrible, if you pretend the whole Indo-China war didn't happen. When you realize the Rural folks from the East of Cambodia were being brutalized by the folks we supported in teh western part of the country, (with our help, see also Nixon's secret bombings) and then they got the upper hand... well, things got nasty.
Not condoning or condemning, just remarking on human nature. It's easy to sit on our fat asses behind computers and judge people who have lived through hell and back. You people have hissys when someone uses a bad word about you on the internet.
