In the United States, black genocide is a conspiracy theory...

On your "Black Genocide" Article
I commented on the title article's talk page, and, while I am glad to see we have similar passions on this topic, I have some serious disagreements with your approach to the subject.

Firstly, while there are indeed unwarranted conspiracy theories held by many African-Americans - and members of most if not all other ethnic groups I am aware of - I think your article is far too focused on the frankly now quite tiny Black Nationalist Movements and their often absurd hypotheses, and not balanced out with actual, large-scale human rights violations against African-Americans.

For the record, I have expericenced many of these from having a self-identified African-American mother, and I also live in a poor, US neighboorhood where a large share of the population are African-Americans (though it's very multi-cultural by US standards; I have Marshallese-American, Laotian-American, Guatemalan-American, Anglo-American and African-American neighboors right next to my residence alone, for instance). Yet, while some of them are indeed members of the Nation of Islam or believe "Church's Chicken" is ran by the KKK, in all frankness, most simply are just too sane to believe in such things.

Given this, why is there no portion of your article on the Transatlantic Slave "Trade" (a Genocide)? Or the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment? Or the historical (and also contemporary) housing coventents? Or Jim Crow? Or race-baiting?

P.S.: I'm glad to see you're researching the subject, but I think you will need some more neutral and/or reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. I would be happy to collaborate you with this, especially as I had a Minor in Library Science. 自教育 (talk) 19:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * There is room in the article for new subsections, and you are welcome to expand it. I expected that I would be able to put together a section on AIDS, but that has not yet happened. Certainly the Atlantic slave trade has been fingered as black genocide by some observers. The syphilis experiment was not trying to kill the black race, it was just risking the lives of the black experimental subjects—an egregious example of racism but not black genocide. Likewise, I see your other arguments as examples of racism but not race genocide. If you find some good examples in print of the accusation of black genocide then you have something.
