Genocide is unacceptable human activity

[Excerpt from 'My Personal Conviction to Tibetan Independence]

"Lets NOT say we are civilized, progressive, modern or, God forbid - Christian when we ignore our human responsibilities to each other."

After thousands of years of documented genocide, worldwide, we still turn a blind eye when the systematic annihilation of an entire people goes undeterred for generations in around the world including Tibet. China is wiping out a culture. Why are we letting this happen? Shame on you! Every world nation that looks away from these human rights crimes of torture and killing, SHAME ON YOU.

How many civilizations will be destroyed before we determine an acceptable loss? When will we make it stop? By 'we' I mean a collective body of humanity.

Where is our humanity? We, the people, are responsible for this existence. We have the capacity to affect change in our world. How can anyone rest in comfort knowing the horrific 'evil' of genocide persists today in the 21st century? Especially deplorable is having a written history to reference and still allowing genocide to continue.

Western history, anthropology, journalists, authors and clergy have documented hundreds of years of genocide. From Native Americans, the Maya and other indigenous people of Mexico and Central America to Serbia, Bosnia, Armenia, Darfur, Sudan, South Africa, Uganda, Congo, Cambodia and Syria

Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. (Wikipedia)

Seriously people, listen up. In 1994, in a hundred days, up to 800,000 Rwandans were clubbed and machete-ed to death. A good 'kill day' equaled 10,000 human-beings slaughtered --in their own country. Six million Jews in Germany exterminated? A number some people have the flippin' nerve to dispute. What if it were three million? One? Wouldn't that be enough, for Christ sake?!

Genocide Watch, The International Alliance to End Genocide, keeps a mindful eye on the countries in current crisis. The website has a downloadable list of the peoples in danger. 

Genocide is ugly. Nobody wants to look. Do it ANYWAY. Let it move you. Feel disgust with your privileged life as you complain about how difficult it is here in fat, first world. 

Shame on us all for letting this happen again and again and again.
