While I was looking for recent Shakira videos, I witnessed a bizarre trend. There are YouTubers who are using popular tags like Shakira to get views of their political statement denying the Armenian Genocide. I decided to see what there was on YouTube in relation to this issue and it appears that both sides of this issue are trying to get their points across.
I think it is a situation where the 'truths' that both groups of people want to believe have been reinforced for generations and are not questioned within those cultures. Promoting those conflicting 'truths' to the outside world has been a war of words for the most part. I would like to see actual truth win out in the end, but I don't think that is what this is all about. It is about hatred and grudges. The countries that were the major players on the World Stage back in 1915 have just as much to answer for.
