I think history has proved that white man started the scalping.

No it hasn’t, scalping was an ancient Indian practice.

“Of the approximately 500 bodies at the Crow Creek massacre site, 90 percent of the skulls show evidence of scalping. The event took place around 1325 AD.”

“I think history has proved that white man started the scalping.”

Someone had posted that awhile ago so I did some searching. There are accounts of scalping in Europe that go way back, as well as in other places. I’m guessing it was a common enough way in a lot of places, including America 2000 years ago, to prove your manhood, that you had killed the enemy, etc.
