it's possible to live

question concerning latin american history and politics. the other day i saw someone critiquing a post claiming argentina "genocided its black population" saying it was misinformation. i got curious and looked briefly on wikipedia (i know). it seems in the 70s the leading theory was that they were deliberately killled via methods like the "canon fodder". but then about a decade later a historian instead proved that the black population (that descended from enslaved people) mostly declined because of coerced assimilation, because the lighter and more ambiguous your complexion the better you were systematically treated (or the more likely you were to be freed from enslavement) and so there were pressures to creates bloodlines that became less and less black. my question is, is it a bit pedantic to separate between a genocide of direct violence and a genocide of systemic violence, or do you think the exact conditions that qualify as genocide should be specific? also, do you have any thoughts about this whole historical moment and any reading recs on it?

One of the things I don't see people touch up upon in characterizations is generational trauma of neglect and pressure the Monkey D. family has and how each of them cope with it differently, You can see it more clearly with how the three of them are in different factions with different environmental factors, With Garp bearing the pressure of being the Marine 'hero', Dragon being the savior and 'Worst criminal' , and Luffy being a captain to his crew.

There is such tenderness in braiding the hair of someone you love. Kindness and something more flow between the braider and the braided, the two connected by the cord of the plait. Wingaashk waves in strands, long and shining like a woman’s freshly washed hair.
