Could this happen in America?

Could genocide happen in America? Yes it can happen. One group of people might hate that race so much they just want to get ride of them and kill them. Also, they could be brainwashed by some one else and think those people are bad, and they could be forced against their will and have to kill (or help kill) that specific race.

One reason is they could really hate that race because of the way they are or act. By hating them they would want to get rid of them and try some thing to keep them away. People in the dominant culture would want not only to remove them but also to kill them. For example, Americans might get to a place in scapegoating and blaming immigrants that they eventually try and kill all immigrants. A charismatic leader could work up a frenzy that leads to a genocide.

Furthermore, in World War 2 some one could start blaming them for everything bad that happens. Americans could also repeat this by blaming a race for crime or for stealing jobs or for ruining the economy. The Nazis scapegoated the Jews, so it's possible Americans could scapegoat a particular race as well. In the process, the leaders would make the people start believing they are cruel, and bad for the country.

My last reason is that someone could be forcing them to kill (or help kill) a group or else their families will be the ones to die. They could be holding their families prisoner some where and threaten to kill them if you do not help. This type of choice is a part of why some of the Germans participated in the Holocaust even though they were against it.

These are three reasons that could lead to genocide to America. One people might hate that race so much they just want to get ride of them and kill them. Two they could be brain washed by some one else and think those people are bad. And lastly they could be forced against their will and have to kill (or help kill) that specific race.
