No it wasn't. Genocide is an attempt at the specific extermination of an entire race of people. US slavery didn't want all blacks in America dead it wanted them to continue as a free source of labor.
You could say that Christopher Columbus committed genocide VIA slavery, as his actions actually resulted in wiping an entire race of people off the map.

I wasn't saying that you were incorrectly deciding that things were logical fallacy. I was saying that you were being a dick about pointing it out instead of looking at the points Saya was making and trying to have a constructive conversation.

Saya's points WERE the logical fallacies, and therefore they were all irrelevant.
Wait, why am I talking to you? Clearly you're a fucking idiot.
