Nope. I'm saying you don't care about black people. When millions of black people were starving you simply didn't care.
But you didn't bring up Uighur which by your own logic proves you don't care about them. Why didn't you bring them up as well? Is their plight also not important? Why is your heart so small?
I'm not the one that said what's happening in Gaza is the worst thing to happen since the Nazis. See the problem with constantly being hyperbolic is that it results in all kinds of horrible implications. The implication of the statement that Gaza is the worst thing to happen in 75 years is that you're at best ignorant of history, and at worst you've dehumanized victims of the many atrocities that have happened in that time period.
So which is it? The victims of what happened in Ethiopia, what's happening in China, the victims of the Rwandan genocide, the victims of the Killing Fields of Cambodia, the people of China that starved in the "Great Leap Forward" (this list goes on and on) aren't people so therefore you don't need to even consider these events of the over 75 years since the Nazis held power? Or are you simply ignorant of history?
It's probably best just to claim ignorance and refrain from hyperbole in the future.
I guess when people are standing up to a genocide I don't assume the worse interpretation of their words 🤷 but you do you
When people try to "both sides" genocide in an attempt to normalize it in an effort to rationalize the horrific acts committed by their side, then yeah I don't give a lot of leeway.
