I never write the term "Holocaust" alone to mean "The Nazi Holocaust" because clearly, throughout history, white het men have mass murdered many people of color, including many women. White het men also mass murder white women.
Between 75 and 90 million Indigenous people just in North America were slaughtered by white men. The Maafa saw the genocide of millions of sub-Saharan West Africans through being enslaved and sent across the sea in shackles, followed by decades of enslavement, rape, and lynching all done by white het men.
The genocide against people of color globally committed by U.S. white het men continues to this day, with the most overtly military atrocity happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. When we say "never forget" we must also say "do not be in denial", including what is occurring the present that white het men do not own or take responsibility for, collectively. White/Aryan Germans didn't either, claiming they were not responsible. And we know what a load of CRAP that was. The same is true now, with the rape atrocity and other racist genocides.
Those with structural, institutional, systemic, and financial power are most responsible. In the U.S., and in all other white-dominated places, that population of the most powerful is overwhelmingly white het men. For WHM to deny responsibility and culpability is to tell the world "we are not human".
