[QUOTE="BigV, post: 76469693, member: 209098"] I suggest you find an average African American living in the US, and ask them if they believe they are oppressed or slaughtered or otherwise targeted. You see, there is another element of human psychology. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian Christian, has a video where he tells people that they too would have been a Nazi during WW2. Here is a 3 min video on this: [MEDIA=youtube]JM2o9e-pwoE[/MEDIA] What happened in the Soviet Union was basically a civil war. Remember that in most cases, when a power change happens without a vote, via a revolution or rebellion, a civil war almost inevitably happens. Part of the population supports the rebels, another part doesn't support them. In the USSR, you basically had a revolution. Some people, especially the lower classes, were very happy, while others, the upper elites, were not happy. Some in the middle class had different opinions on the matter.
