Are you at all familiar with the lynchings, rapes, and other abominations that have been perpetrated against blacks in this country.

No, it was NOT an organized attempt at genocide.

Whose pain was worse? I don't think anyone can answer that in a just fashion....

What racism do blacks experience today? Here is a recent example:
James Byrd, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Yes, I am aware and familiar with such stories. They are all horrible and those involved in facilitating such atrocities should experience same as their punishment. However, my point is that atrocities are not limited to black people. It's not only black women who are raped. It's not just black men who are killed. At least there was never an attempt to eliminate blacks as a race.
