False matrix of a false reality that the Rulers use to break down, beat down, and make “guilty” my (our) beloved American traditions and history, which they seek to warp, or destroy utterly
“…Numerous communities have decided to commemorate the lives of indigenous Americans lost to genocide and colonial oppression instead of Christopher Columbus’s journey across the Atlantic.” Breitbart.com
Know what? I’m sick of hearing this garbage about Christopher Columbus, Vs. “the noble red man.”
Charges of Columbus’ anti-Native-American/Indigenous-People/First-Americans, Racism (whatever the hell THAT means anymore), genocide, and all that other happy horse manure seem to have really worn out both me and general human reason on the topic.
History is the story of subjugation.
The Assyrians
The Persians
The Macedonians
The Romans
The Germanic Tribes
The Muslims
The people from the Steppes of Asia
The Europeans
The “Native Americans” — who invaded this hemisphere from Asia — should shut the hell up.
And then there’s the fact that Columbus never set foot in what is now the USA. He got as close as the Caribbean ... but that’s it.
They were called savages for a reason.
I have a completely different view of history. I believe that the white man and the red man came out of the same tribe. Geneticists tell us that about 100,000 years ago that a large migration out of Africa split around Israel and went west to Europe and east to Asia and eventually America via the land bridge. So we all have a racial connection.
My other point involves humanity itself. Whichever group has the technological or demographic advantage will subjugate the other group usually through murder, plunder and slavery. It’s been a constant throughout history among all racial groups.
Plus the fact that long before Columbus got here, the Indians were slaughtering and dismembering each other.
“Dances With Wolves” is fiction, not a documentary.
You only own that which you are willing and able to defend by whatever means at your disposal.
That is the reality of life.
True ... except that Columbus never got here.
“Dances With Wolves” is fiction, not a documentary.
Not sure what your point is here, but okay.

So then why do we celebrate Columbus Day in the first place? At least Leif Erikson made it here.
Right and if the Indians probably did enslave people from other Indian tribes particuarly women. They just didn’t really have the need to enslave in mass numbers as they didn’t need to feed large centralized populations.
You mean the Plains Indians didn’t have shampoo and cream rinse?
We can only document Leif made it to southeast coast of Newfoundland with certainty I think
Point Rosee or something like that
Chris made it to San Salvador Bahamas which is a lot closer to our America
Just race across the Bahama bank 340 miles to myamuh
Newfie is twice as far
Plus Chris set off settlements that never ended
The Immigrant Song did not
Man imagine how it woulda gone got the Injuns had the Vikings settled in the waves like the Western Europeans did
Even the Comanches and Huron would been quaking
I've often wondered that. I'm sure it has something to do with his exploration voyage opening up the curiosity of the new land leading to further ocean crossings.
At least Leif Erikson made it here.
Yeah, Canada is more mainland than the Caribbean islands. Do our northern neighbors celebrate his discovery?
Leif Erikson Day is October 9th.
Erikson didn’t discover the US either. The closest he got was Newfoundland.
... and can successfully defend...
you may be willing and able and still end up without ownership.
Hinga Dinga Durgen!
Conan ... what is best in life?
“History is the story of subjugation “
Total agreement
The way I see it is that every person who walks
the earth is descended from both slaves and
slave masters. Since the European record as
slave masters is relatively recent there is
a vast amount of documentation compared to other
slave holding cultures, therefore, it is
the Euros and Euro-Americans who receive the
attention and blame while the preceeding groups
go blameless. In North America you can bet the
native populations did more than just dabble in
slavery. And, under Islam, forms of slavery
continue today.
I can think of very few posts that I have done
agreed with more than yours. Thanks.
Those POOR little Indians! Boo-hoo!
About thirty years ago OETA out of Oklahoma had on a program IMAGES OF INDIANS in which one guest claimed Indians never scalped or tortured anyone! All I can say to that is BUNK!

Books to read...
THE MASSACRES OF THE MOUNTAINS by Dunn, published at the time they happened, when witnesses were still alive.
My Life on the Plains by Custer
On the Border with Crook by Burke
The Indian Wars of 1864 by Ware
If you get a chance read any book written by some of the old Mountain Men who lived with the Indians. One of them, upon observing the attack by his tribe on another commented that the Indian philosophy was to “KILL EVERY LIVING THING!” in the tribe attacked.
When Chivington attacked the tribe at Sand Creek it sent shock waves through all the tribes clear down into Comanchera because they realized the White Man could fight just as vicious as the Indians had always been doing.
And remember thirty years ago when the “Nobel Red Man” was found to practice intense Indian cannibalism in the South West! The Libs refused to believe it!
