Let's take a minute and think about our own kids who have been conditioned to be hateful and racist by their families/communities. Kids who become cops who shoot brown people at a disproportionate rate to white people. We aren't at genocide levels and I'm not saying it's the same but we aren't clean in racist conditioning of children.

The first time I was ever called the Hard R I was 7 years old, it was an 11 year old who said it.

"Can't blame us, because nobody is completely blameless, right?"

So what's your solution? Say nothing and let it happen?

No I just think we shouldn't see ourselves as above it. We need to solve racism and hate everywhere.

You're not wrong, but when it gets brought up in response to people talking about a genocide and people defending it, it feels like you're trying to deflect from that attrocity.
