British and Kenyans [Mau Mau] vs. Ottomans and Armenians

The British went into Kenya in 1895 with no complaints from the Christian West that first started making moral judgments on what was widely proclaimed as Armenian massacres in their press. After beginning colonization in earnest, the British declared Kenya a "white man's country" in 1915, the year we are told there was a genocide against the Armenians. After conducting themselves as what Malcolm X has called a "vulturous society," some Kenyans got tired of the master-slave relationship, and began a four-year rebellion in 1952. Their terrorist group, the Mau Mau, followed similar strategies to Armenian Dashnaks and Hunchaks.

Relentless propaganda has allowed for many to believe that the Ottomans committed a "genocide" against their Armenians, as much as there is no evidence for intent, as required by the 1948 U.N. Convention for Genocide. Meanwhile, hardly anyone is familiar with the Mau Mau story. (A story which made some recent headlines, when President Barack Obama took away Winston Churchill's bust from the White House; Obama's grandfather was one of the victims of Churchill's brutal crackdown.)

This video offers a comparison to the way the British handled their Kenyans, at an age that was relatively more modern than the 1915 years, with the way the supposedly genocidal Ottomans handled their rebellious Armenians.
