Document Summary

Modern prejudice seems like old prejudice, just covered up a bit more. Trump is bringing about a new catastrophic expression of prejudice, but it is certainly not as catastrophic as it could become. Genocide has been around for as long as history has been recorded. Ancient greeks: during war, it was not enough that the losing team had lost, all of them would be killed, leaving no losing survivors. 20th century: turkish genocide of armenians in wwi, holocaust in wwii, Cambodian autogenocide (cambodians killing each other), rwandan genocide: globalization allowed worldwide communication of genocide, not just necessarily an increase in genocide prevalence. Ordinary people deciding to kill off another group. Different genocides have different numbers of murderers: nazis: few killers, many bystanders, rwanda: actively slaying neighbours. Raphael lemkin: heard about genocide of armenians in turkey when he was a kid. His family were friends with a man who escaped who told them about what happened.
