::Are you stating that in order for Conservapedia to acknowledge an act of wrongdoing that occurred in the history of the U.S.A. an equal or greater number of similar wrongdoings elsewhere must be acknowledged first? The CP article on [[genocide]] lists some of those examples, to which i could add the Rwandan genocide of 1994.  The deaths of millions in China during the "Great Leap Froward" was wrong to the point of being evil, but I'd have to say it's not genocide, however.  Those deaths (mostly from starvation) were the result of criminal mismanagement of resources, suppression of bad news from the leadership, and a blind adherence to communist party authority by Chinese leaders the watched their fellow countrymen die.  I don't think it could properly be called genocide, though, because these were not caused with the intent of one group to eliminate another.  I could be wrong, though. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:16, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:::The U.S. Government certainly engaged in a campaign of genocide against the American aboriginals, and the Trail of Tears was a part of that.  Denying it or diminishing it by comparing it to more "successful" genocide campaigns denigrates the people whose lives were lost. -[[User:DrSandstone|DrSandstone]] 13:26, 3 December 2008 (EST)
