Talk:American Indian Genocide (view source)
Revision as of 02:33, June 26, 2019
, 02:33, June 26, 2019→Genocides did happen
:::I suggest you take it up with Andy Schlafly, since he's the one who rewrote it to be what it is right now, maybe come to an agreement on how to deal with it. Personally, I'd leave it at "grossly exaggerated" instead of absolutely false, due to your points. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 21:52, 25 June 2019 (EDT)

::::@EasternOrthodox: There was never a systematic effort to wipe out all American Indians. Even if the context around those quotes you mentioned supports your view (as opposed to them being soundbites taken out of context), the expressed views never became reality. This argument is also used by leftists trying to accuse the U.S. and its founding values as on-par or comparable to the Nazis and other despicables (of course, they claim, socialism and open borders are always the answer!). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 21:55, 25 June 2019 (EDT)

:::::One possible solution is to give a definition of genocide in the Intro, and then note the term itself was coined after the [[Holocaust]] (1945) to describe the holocaust. Then you can describe how the term has been remolded to fit zillions of other historical events, ''ex post facto'', a type of [[revisionism]].
