Night Blog Question #1

*** Please remember that your post needs to be 150 - 200 words to get full credit***

In the preface, Robert McAfee Brown makes the following comment:

"...But we cannot indefinitely avoid depressing subject matter, particularly if it true, and in the subsequent quarter century the world has had to hear a story it would have preferred not to hear - the story of how a cultured people turned to genocide, and how the rest of the world, also composed to cultured people, remained silent in the face of genocide."

Do you agree/disagree with Brown's position? Explain.
