What I am saying is that you can't describe ALL slave trade as genocidal. Not ALL tribes, etc, were wiped out of existence.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? |
