Armenian who????

I had no clue that the Armenian genocide occurred. In fact I didn’t even know who the Armenian’s were until I read this article, which kind of sucks because now I feel like I don’t know half of the shit out there. I wish I knew this had happened. Many people have heard of the saying “history repeats itself” ( President Bush did this one well by doing what his father did). And after remembering this quote, somehow this does not really surprise me. Well it did in the way that many people where killed just from their different culture. I believe that this type of information is important for someone to know. Just like the Holocaust is important for someone to know. Knowing this information will hopefully open up our eyes and show us that “evil” is still out there and hopefully we can do something about this type of treatment.

To be honest I have no idea why I was not taught this. Most of the things I was taught was based around America to be honest. We were taught the wars that we were a part and we were taught what we did in these wars. Apparently slaughtering thousands of Armenians was not a part of the American way. But if you think about we were mostly taught what our country did and how it affected us. Whether it was WWI, WWII, the Civil War, or Vietnam. These all go around us. God bless America.

Like I said before, this is the first I have heard about this certain group of people. Which is very, very embarrassing. I feel as though I have not learned what I really was suppose to. But I guess it’s a good thing I learned it eventually.
