    Correct, but it's not a very compelling argument against recognizing a genocide that your country did.

    I would strongly encourage some countries to start recognizing indigenous genocide in the USA, though. The libs would lose their shit.

      The libs would lose their shit.

      Imagine Chelsea Clinton posting twenty liberian flag emojis and one of those epic bald eagle pictures at the president of Norway or something.

      this also works:

      [country] recognizes the ongoing genocide of African Americans being carried out by militarized police forces occupying their neighborhoods.

      Agreed, that that would be hilarious.

      I’d also love to see individual states accuse each other of genocide too: New York issuing an official recognition of the Missouri genocide, etc.

        This is true, but they also get really mad when another country points it out. Look at any Reddit thread that implies America is bad.
