Mot an easy trip ate all. ESPECIALLY with a bayonet at their backs.
Sorry my friend, but the INDIAN REMOVAL ACT and the Trail of Tears cannot be excused.
Or in my mind explained.
The Indian Removal Act, which was directed against some ancestral relations on both sides of my family, should stand alongside Slavery, Jim Crow, and Japanese-American Internment Camps as universally recognized icons of the one truly racist Party. Generations of obfuscation by the Ministry of Truth, the academic-news media combine controlling information and thought in this country, have prevented that. Now their targeting has simply shifted to “White Privilege”, showing again that their reliance on race based politics is ingrained and instinctive. Every Democrat should be slapped hard in the face with this at every opportunity. It might open a few eyes, or burst a few blood vessels. Frankly, I’m good with either outcome.
