ONE IN CHINA AND ONE IN USA…TWO FORGOTTEN GENOCIDES
“All the Indians I know are drunks, don’t have a job, …”. This is a racist statement. And I know she doesn’t consider herself to be racist in any form. But here, you have it. Racism. Ignorance and racism all wrapped up together. I couldn’t believe she would say such a thing when we had always been so in harmony with our political and world views. Here I found she and I parted our thinking. 180 degrees apart.

In 1830, President Andrew signed the Indian Removal Act, which forced over 100,000 Native Americans off of their own lands. In this video the producer, Keith Ryon, states “To celebrate this achievement, Americans put Andrew Jackson on their twenty dollar bill. Today, 25.9% of Native Americans live in poverty. The national average is 11%. 29% of Native Americans are without health care.”

The Nanking Massacre remains one of the most inhuman and horrifying crimes ever committed in the human civilization history. But despite the irrefutable evidence, since the end of the Second World War, especially in the recent years, some Japanese, including a few high-ranking government officers and so-called "historians", have denied the occurrence of the Nanking Massacre in public and tried to whitewash the atrocities that the Japanese army brought to China.” From http://prion.bchs.uh.edu/~zzhang/1/Nanking_Massacre/
An excerpt from http://prion.bchs.uh.edu/~zzhang/1/Nanking_Massacre/preface.html

Utilizing actors to read these accounts, including Jürgen Prochnow, Woody Harrelson, and Mariel Hemingway, and interwoven with chilling archival footage, testimony, and interviews with both survivors and perpetrators, Nanking exposes the all-too-familiar horrors of war but also affirms the extraordinary impact that individuals can make. This is a gripping and soul-searching chronicle of a calamity and a tribute to the people who tried to make it better.— Geoffrey Gilmore”

Genocide flourishes when there is no accountability.
WE CAN’T SAY THAT WE CARE ABOUT JUSTICE
WHEN WE DO NOTHING TO STOP THE INJUSTICE
We each have a voice.
We each have a presence.
We have been called to be human
in the most basic way
on this subject.
Where there is a will - there is always a way.
And where there is no will - there is no way.
Let us not be silent.
Silence is necessary for genocide to go on.
Our collective silence is a weapon used by the genocidaires.
Silence kills.
And we are responsible for our personal silence.
If Peace never begins, Genocide will never end.
Where does Peace begin?
One World.
One humanity.
One Human Race.
One.
