U.S. and Holocaust.

I believe the United States could easily have another Holocaust at any moment. This could come from just pure racial discrimination, wealth vs. poor, or even politics. When you talk about having another holocaust, seeing how the whites did murder thousands of Native Americans, it could easily happen again. All that would need to change in the U.S. is someone to voice their opinion loud enough. Although we have many laws forbidding the discrimination of another, people do it every day. From the streets of to Chicago to Carbondale, it is there. Killing people just because of their background. If enough people come together, they could kill off thousands of innocent people just because they feel they "deserve it." Simply because they feel their way of life isn't worth living.

 

Someone in the U.S. could come today worse than Hitler and kill thousands, maybe millions, just because of how they feel how the earth should be run. In fact, someone could easily be worse than Hitler due to all the "new and improved" ways there are out there to take another persons life slowly and making them suffer. It may seem that the world has calmed down, but it hasn't. We are coming up with things to take out huge groups of people, innocent people, and saying it is protecting someone. If someone (a new aged Hitler) was able to get their hands on anything like that, 'they" would win instantly. During the German holocaust, they were still coming up with ways to kill people, now we have them. There would be no way of fighting back for the poor.

Looking into the blogs.

 

          On Sarah Ripley's bog. I like your pictures, they really show how the Rwandan genocide affected the people who lived and died there. I would like to know just about how many people there were that actually participated in the genocide. Other than that I really like your pictures. Good picking. :)

          On Emily Peguero's blog Your pictures cought my eye and your notes really got me to understand what was happening within them. Do you know where they put the bodies of the murdered?

          On kelsi Rushing's blog. How many people were affected by what happened here? I like how you showed what happened after the genocide was put to rest. A few more notes would help.

Post #3 Murder!!!

Rwanda

          Murder, genocide, whatever you want to call it is okay by me. I just wish we could call it nothing for it never happening in our world. Genocide anywhere is heart wrenching. In the early 1990s the population in Rwanda, around seven million, was mainly formed by the people of Hutu. Lesser formed by Tutsi and Twa. In 1992 The Hutu's people felt that it was the lesser ethnic groups for their increasing social, economic, and political problems.
          Even though people knew about the massive murders they still do nothing to change their actions. After April 6, 1994, 80,000 women, children, and children perished as a result of the Rwanda genocide. When the leaders finally voted in disapproval, the people listened and changed their tactics. Although, in changing their tactics they still did not change their underlined goal. The governments and people everywhere still have appart of the shame of the crime due to that they did nothing to stop the killing of so many people. "Even after it had become indisputable that what was going on in Rwanda was a genocide, American officials had shunned the g-word, fearing that it would cause demands for intervention."
