the recent killings of African-Americans by police officers?
There is no agree to disagree.

Current events are showing signs of a possible genocide like the holocaust and pol pot regime and such.

You still havent disproved that.

Do you think the these killings are signs of something to come that will be comparable to the Holocaust or the mass atrocities committed by Pol Pot? Disregarding the fact that it isn't just black people being slain by police officers. I do agree that blacks are targeted at a disproportionately higher rate than any other race, you can't deny the stats but I think the claim that this is a setup for some sort of genocide comparable to the Holocaust against African-Americans is just an extreme exaggeration.

It wont look the same, but the end goal to fuk over millions of people has been going on for generations here in America. Where as the holocaust was a shot to the head the subtle and not so subtle fukkery that is american racism is a slow killer, it's an elongated suffering.

in my opinion its a bad response only because by comparing it to something like Pol Pot it gives them so much ways to deflect the real issue and pick apart the little details to try and show the differences between what happened with Pol Pot and what's happening today allowing them to completely avoid addressing the real issues.

i think if you wanna compare it to something a better comparison would be Saddam's regime and how he had multiple ethnic groups living in complete fear of being killed this fear lead to the Kurds being killed because their neighbors who willingly sided with Saddam to let it happen, out of fear. Its better because if they try to pick apart the details they'll find there aren't that many compared to how many similarities exist and have to admit that the USA is behaving like the very regime they went to war to overthrow
