Seeing you are not using any vulgarity as you usally do, I'll respond. New York does have a nice skyline, unfortunaetely the best way to view if is when you are off the island of Manhattan, where here in Chicago we have many good vantage points in the city. Sorry New York pizza sucks, Wrigley field rocks! Cubs suck. U.S. Cellular Feild and the White Sox suck. And I love Nathans. Now back to your profanity.

You're confusing purpose with effect. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. The purpose of the slave trade was not to kill people but to ship them to Europe and/or the Americas for labor. The effect of the slave trade was to kill many slaves, either in transit or in the fields.

But the purpose of the Holocaust was to commit genocide; to wipe the Jews and other "undesirables" off the planet. The Nazis came close to succeeding in Europe.

You're being consciously blind.

Slave traders offered money to African chieftans for slaves. To earn this money, the chieftans started wars against their weaker neighbors, killing those who resisted and enslaving the rest.

What's undeliberate about that?

Also eradicted a number of tribes and their cultures in that process. It was a genocide in that respect, although the losses have never been quantified.

Chieftains starting wars against weaker neighbors could be genocide. I'm not saying otherwise. Genocide is defined as against an ethnic, racial, caste, religious, or national group. The mass slaughter of the Tutsis by the Hutus that took place in 1994 in Rwanda was genocide.

Article 2 of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

What I am saying is that you can't describe ALL slave trade as genocidal. Not ALL tribes, etc, were wiped out of existence. That's what the Hutus were trying to do to the Tutsis. That's what the Nazis were trying to do to the Jews.

Your distinction is getting finer and finer. This is not an important point. True, not all slave trade activity was genocidal. On the other hand, some African tribes were totally exterminated, while half of European Jews survived. Also, the Atlantic slave trade went on for 300 years, while the deliberate extermination of Jews went on for about 3 years. Duration is important too in terms of the effect on an ethnic group.

Why is it so important to you to make this distinction? Why do you have to say that one horrible activity was far worse than the other?

Because as with most conservatives (and some liberals) he lives and dies by the Eurocentric view that the mass death of white people is a greater evil than the mass death of others.

White Supremacy of either the hateful kind or of the gentler, condescending kind would not withstand the collapse of such a presupposition.

Comandante Guevara represents the Cuban people's successful struggle against the tyranny of the Batista regime.
The Confederate flag represents The Traitor's opposition to the ideals of the United States of America.

The latter is anti-American. The former is neutral.

I'm not wrong. The polling we're seeing on this is fueled by the press accounts where nobody is asking why these cancellations are occurring, that many of those cancelled were being ripped off to begin with and the insurers wanted to dump those policies while they could without further scrutiny.

Insurance is only as good as the claims they pay. In NY, none of these problem exist since the state has always been diligent in keeping hustlers OUT.
