On the Claim Made by Michael Mann (No, Not THAT Michael Mann) in His Eye-Opening Volume, "The Dark Side of Democracy", that Pure Democracies Have a Strong Tendency to Carry Out Ethnic-Cleansing and Even Genocide

Well, there certainly is a history of it; in the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda, in Turkey, in Iraq, in Gaza, in Indonesia, in Germany, in India, in South Africa, in Cambodia, etc., etc..

W. DeKlerk who created in South Africa a new multi-racial order that gave jack-shit in terms of protection for the whites and which is falling apart as we speak).
