This is a genocide that killed millions. But this genocide is someone else’s, not our own. Slavery is America’s genocide. A genocide created by whites, therefore it cannot be taught to our children because we cannot admit is was our own wrongdoing. However we have no problem teaching our children of other country’s wrongdoing.
