Genocide is defined by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Let’s not have this be a trend, guys.
The constant killings of Black people in this country is not a trend. Discrimination and criminalization of the Black body is not a trend. The systematic elimination of peoples from Africa both in the US and abroad is not a trend. We’re targets and it’s not a trend.
We’re dying and it’s not a trend, it’s the standard.
