For four hundred years--from the first assaults against the Arawak people of in the 1490s to the U.S. Army's massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s--the indigenous inhabitants of North America continue, to this day, to endure an unending firestorm of violence by the American Indian policy focusing on the goal of total extermination.

But comparing one genocide and extermination to another is not a good idea, in my opinion.

The killing of our Native Americans was also a genocide. But no point in trying to compare one genocide to another.

And look at the African slave trade. The subsequent cultural genocide....hundreds of millions of people of African descent who lost their roots. The rape of 3 continents... all in the name of white greed.
And the genocide of Native Americans resulted in more than 10 million deaths....also think of the generations lost, the culture, land, everything that was taken away. We're living on land where the history of the original occupants has been completely erased....nothing is left of their legacy save for some place names that current residents have no relation nor cultural reference point to.
Mao’s Great Leap Forward resulted in millions of deaths.
Then there is Pol Pot in Cambodia. And, Armenia in the early 20th century. Both of those were true genocide.
