09-19-15 Phil says the holocaust was racist.......(not towards Jews though) -

[Peace and Harmony]

Phil ALWAYS delivers.

 

[XH 502]

Never mind the fact that "white people" (including that Pope Phil hates) are still pressuring Turkey to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. It's almost like people of any ethnicity can be both awful and good or something...

 

[Hyperion]

Wasn't it only a few short weeks ago that Phillip the Potato was crowing about the lands of Native Tribes burning in Washington and Oregon? He really needs to make up his mind about how he feels about the Red man.

 

[Sczylak Madgar]

I wonder if Phil realizes that Jews regardless of skin color were not considered "white" until fairly recently.

 

[Stress Sigh]

I thought it was pretty well admitted here in America we did some nasty things to the natives.

"Where would your people be if the white man never came?"
"Without the wheel."
Comment I heard from an actual Native American.

The past decade or so most nations have done their best to acknowledge their collective genocides.
Britain, USA, Germany and even Japan have been acknowledging the more shitty parts of their pasts (phils beloved china and russia are still in denial).....but this does not fit phils anti semitic world view so is ignored.
But we all know phil hates facts as they oppress him

One thing I will say is that many of us Jews love to believe we're the only victims of the Holocaust. Erasure of the Romani, homosexual, Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, and political victims is disturbingly common. We shouldn't forget about the other six million victims - it's our duty to remember them as if they were our own.

But does Phil know about them? More importantly, does he even care?

Don't forget the disabled.

No and no, it has nothing to do with lantix.

We had a whole thing about the Trail of Tears in fourth grade American history. Which was an important fact to learn about.

We also did a thing about the Manzanar internment camp in fifth grade. Also important to learn about.

I'm not even going to get started with Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth, whom we studied every year. Again, important historical figures. And of course Martin Luther King, Jr.

So, Hooves, were you just not paying attention in elementary school? Because if my shitty little 99.95%* white country town could get it together to teach about this stuff...


*There was one Filipina lady in a town of 2,000; everyone else was white.

Them Goosebumps books though.

Kind of makes me wonder why no one teaches the Armenian genocide. I mean, it's like the Holocaust and the Trail of Tears rolled into one; the Turks didn't want Christian non-Turks living in their pan-Islamic, pan-Turkish state, so they got rid of them.

Didn't Phil catch some flak at Occupy Philly for denying the Holodomor?

My high school does in World History, from when I was there.

On topic, we should ask Phil about it, he'd probably claim it to be racist as Christians are always racist

We had it in high school World Civilization (which was mostly war and genocide, so "civilization" was clearly a euphemism). But I grew up in Massachusetts, which has tons of Armenian émigrés, so they may have lobbied the school systems to include it.

Seriously. A million years ago when I was in high school European/American relations with Native peoples was specifically called a genocide and compared to the Holocaust. In multiple grades. They just didn't cover it in his sped history.

 

[Football Meatlong]

Is the extermination of Australatin Jews a genocide too?
