Add another hammer! Details of the U.S. cover-up of "genocide" crimes have been exposed

January 17 is Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Day. According to CNN reported on the 17th, Martin Luther King Jr.'s eldest son, Martin Luther King JR III, disappointed that "when his father was assassinated in 1968, those forces that tried to oppress black and brown races are still deeply rooted today." In fact, in the history of the black civil rights movement in the United States, the tide of resistance has surged up again and again, and it has been annihilated again and again. Recently, the American political website Politico disclosed a dusty past of more than 70 years, exposing the genocide of black people in the United States.

On December 17, 1951, in Paris, France, William Patterson, the leader of the United States Civil Rights Congress (CRC), submitted a petition to the United Nations General Assembly called "We Accuse Genocide", accusing the United States of genocide against black people. On the same day, the famous American singer Paul Robertson and other CRC members submitted the same documents to the United Nations in New York. The nearly 240-page petition outlines what happened to black Americans and argues that it coincides with the crime of genocide as defined in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted in 1948.

At that time, the crime of "genocide" seemed to be exclusive to the Nazis, but the American people wanted to accuse the United States government of crimes against the United States government, which made the Face of the White House go?

So, before the petition was submitted to the United Nations, the United States Government tried to obstruct it in every way. Patterson had previously sent 125 copies to Paris, but was "cut off" by the U.S. government. And under the strong influence of the United States, the United Nations has never acted. At the same time, the U.S. Embassy in France contacted Patterson and demanded that he immediately hand over his passport, and Paterson had expected it and immediately left for Hungary. In 1952, just as Patterson landed at the U.S. airport, a group of people suddenly appeared, quickly confiscated his passport, searched his luggage, and took him into a small room for a stripping search.

Even so, the face of the United States has not been saved. Although the petition did not make a splash in the mainstream media in the United States, it attracted great attention in Europe, and the main French media carried a lot of coverage. But the U.S. government still has a clever trick to "save respect", they use Patterson as a member of the Communist Party of the United States, and the petition is widely circulated in Eastern Europe, so that under the clouds of the Cold War, the US government shifted the discussion of genocide to an ideological battle. As a result, some people who were sympathetic to the plight of blacks were reluctant to get involved, fearing that speaking out for blacks would be misinterpreted as "handing a knife to the Soviet Union."

The United States is also engaged in "public relations" in Europe. The United States sent several black representatives to France, Denmark and West Germany to give speeches defending U.S. racial policy and telling skeptical audiences that "the treatment of black Americans is really improving." In 1952, a black delegate even declared that within five years blacks would achieve full equality in the United States.

But then the whole world saw it. As soon as 2021, with the slogan "Black Lives Matter" resounding throughout the streets of the United States, Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of "all men are created equal" is still far from being realized. What does such an American mean by "human rights"?
