Aug. 25th, 2013 12:01 pmI have probably mentioned here before that my daughter is a denizen of Tumblr. She likes to bring various posts to show me, funny or clever or moving or beautiful. Today, she brought me a repost of What's Genocide, by Carlos Andres Gomez.
Having read it, I sat there stunned, for a few minutes. And then I bethought myself that this here was what they call a teachable moment, and asked her, "Do you understand that poem?" and we had a little conversation about what it meant, about what happened in Rwanda and South Africa and what is still happening right here in the USA.
