115,000,000 million Indians killed? If they had that many, they would have wiped us out.

By “our” heritage of hate, I’m assuming Chuckie is referring to the mindless, demented libtards that infest this country; who, not surprisingly, are more responsible for more deaths than any other group since the beginning of mankind.

According to the Kahentinetha Horn of MNN Mohawk Nation News, “Unlike post-war Germany, North Americans refuse to acknowledge this genocide. Almost one and a quarter million Kanien'ke:haka (Mohawk) were killed off leaving us only a few thousand survivors.”

What a joke. The Mohawks fought wars against other tribes to maintain their middleman status between the Europeans with their trade goods and other tribes with their furs.

The writer lost me at that point; I ceased to take the rest of the article with any seriousness.

This guy quotes a lot of dubious statistics. So I'll offer a real number—2,971,456—the Amazon Best Sellers ranking of Thompson's self-published book, “McCurry’s War.”

The progressive movement must instill white guilt in order to proceed with the rest of it's agenda. At the end of the day, it's the fall back position when they start to lose the battle of ideas. According to the author it must be done early and often at a young age. Guess what? It already is being done early and often. White guilt (and by extension minority entitlement) is being rammed down kids throats starting in pre-k.

"Although we are not guilty nor liable for what happened during the Nazi era, we believe we bear a lot of responsibility for what our country did,”

Blah, blah, blah. Why don't you just kill yourself? I am not guilty of anything that you suggest we should be.

BTW - who is “Our” in your title?

The "collective guilt" meme doesn't fly with this American.

The difference between guilty feelings and true moral guilt is lost on too many, but these are mutually exclusive concepts, as feelings of guilt and the state of being legally or morally guilty before law rarely automatically go together.

Because the Left has a blind spot when it comes to moral guilt altogether, while at the same time it's practitioners trade almost exclusively in shame, the clear distinction is a challenge to their entire worldview.

“Mr. Holzschuh said that during his school years, he and his fellow German citizens were repeatedly exposed to the horrors of the Holocaust and taught about the responsibility Germany bears for allowing it to happen.”

If he wants to examine the idiocy of mindless idolatry and idiotic tolerance, all he has to do is look at the support for “O” as a Presidential candidate, as President and also as leader of the free world who daily and hourly breaks promises to allies, ignores lawlessness and himself is the primary PRACTIONER of political lawlessness!!!

Can we get a barf alert on this article?

[greeneyes]

Begin our healing process? What BS. My husband is a member of the Choctaw Tribe, and he has no hatred for the “white” man and would find this guys lament stupid.

I don't feel any guilt either. My ancestors were Scott's Irish/German, and immigrated well before WW1, but weren't even in this country during the time of the Indian “genocide”. I'd say that we are already healed.

I'll just mention that the Government totally disrupted the life in the Appalachian area supposedly for the benefit of the citizens living in less than perfect conditions, but actually because developers wanted their land and trees. By and large white folks IIRC. And don't forget that the Irish were facing a lot of discrimination.

A student once said to my husband, you are just punishing me cause I'm black. My husband told him, "I don't want to hear your complaints about white men and prejudice. The white man killed and scalped my ancestors. Get over it." Learn the past, but don't live there. What I say is: Live in the pressent, and do right. This will anger some people and astonish the rest. Can't remember who said some of that.

The German spoke of “decades” of responsibility for the Holocaust. We have had many decades since the end of the Civil War, and many decades since the Civil Rights Acts. I’d say enough decades have passed for everyone to stand on his own two feet. Racism persists, but not all of us are responsible for it. Go after those who actually practice racism.

Did I miss the MEGA SUPER DOOPER BARF ALERT?

Many people feel as I do. Although we are not guilty nor liable for what happened during the Nazi era, we believe we bear a lot of responsibility for what our country did,” he writes. “And we will for decades.”

Compare that to blacks or Islam.

Neither share in responsibility or guilt.

Far from it.

They are the victim.
