All genocides fit into the category of 'genocide' and are thus compared by default, so... yes?
Also, 'our'? This site isn't even hosted in America, nevermind American-oriented.

The question I asked was is it fair to compare other events to the HOLOCAUST.
retiredaccount wrote
Yes. Genocides can be compared to other genocides. What kind of question is that?
OKC OP wrote
See my response to the other one.

Already responded to it.

I don't see why you'd need to compare genocides, it's not a contest.

Because I see leftists call it a Holocaust and I think it's incorrect to say that as it happened gradually over hundreds of years as part of colonization where both races fought each other for the land. The Holocaust was a deliberate policy by a single man to exterminate a race. They had no chance to fight back.

by a single man
The Holocaust was perpetrated by hundreds of thousands of people working together to bring forth the end of the race, as was the colonization of America. The Generalplan Ost was also to happen gradually; Nazi Germany collapsed before they could, though. If you look into the Nazi's long term plans for the Eastern Europe, its much more like colonization than a quick act.

But colonization is much different than the Holocaust. They weren't colonizing Jewish lands, they were exterminating them for being Jewish. Not because we needed to spread across America but they were hostile to it like happened with the Indians.

Again- Generalplan Ost. The Holocaust was colonization; the Jewish people were exterminated, yes. But they were mainly from Poland, and to be replaced with Germans. They also slaughtered a near equal amount of Slavs to Jews, if you look at the statistics. Generalplan Ost was a long-term colonization plan regarding Russia. Read about it and come back, please.

The colonization of the americas not only includes bigger and longer holocausts, but nazi germany was a thing a much shorter amount of time than US has been a thing. Throw in all that modern stuff that gets ignored like vietnam, gulf war, korea, afganistan, iraq war, etc..and you got yourself one doozy of an evil empire that you're defending there.
If you don't believe there was a deliberate extermination of indiginous on Turtle Island, here's an easy to digest starting place about US's history: http://www.historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeopleshistory.html

I wonder how many raddlers fit that criteria.

Genocide's genocide, and I dunno about your forefathers, but my forefathers were busy getting shot by the English in their own damn homeland instead of trying to conquer someone else's.

When did raddle become a right wing message board?

There's one guy being a moron with tons of downvotes... what does that have to do with the site as a whole? Is this a joke or a troll itself? I'm legitimately confused.
