***The journey killed over 4,000 Cherokee,***
Not so!

“The act caused a spate of articles about how the Cherokees lost 4,000 or more dead on a terrible trek, described as a “forced” march, presumably indicating they were prodded by bullet and bayonet as they moved during the hard winter of 1837-38.
The oddities are: 1) Voluminous records, including those of the Cherokee nation itself, show no loss approaching 4,000 (an actual figure of about 840 deaths was bad enough); 2) The word “forced” insults the Cherokees because they conducted their own march, paid for by Washington; 3) The phrase “Trail of Tears” was never used by a Cherokee in the 1830s, but came into existence under other circumstances some 70 years later.”
I read a book titled Cynical Theories and reading chapter 8 made me understand the thinking we are up against. It is so much worse than Imimagined. In some ways we have been fighting in the wrong ways. Recommend at least that chapter and the first two.
Now they’re going after Winfield Scott - “Scott’s military talent was highly regarded by contemporaries, and historians generally consider him to be one of the most accomplished generals in U.S. history.”
😂
Inventing racism is a pretty lucrative business.
They are the low IQ kabal.
Now that he lives outside the bird’s range, “I’m kind of relieved,” he says.

Having a mental breakdown over a bird name.
To nip all this ridiculous crap, it would be best to reassign all species an arbitrary number. This is the Borg identification system . This bird for example can be species 847-6224-42. Catchy, isn’t it.
There is a substantial segment of the population that goes around desperately looking for something, anything to be offended by. “You have the right not to be offended” must be in the living constitution that Democraps are always going on about. It certainly isn’t in my version.
Whoa! Leave them tally-whackers alone ya hear!
I am suspicious now that those orioles themselves are racists. You can never be too sure these days. Sports team names. Colleges. Bridges. Those birds? Sometimes they look at me kind of funny. They turn away or fly when they see me staring at them. They may be onto me. Now I can't forget. Wish I hadn't heard that guy's story.
However, I wonder if the black slaves owned by the Cherokee maybe do figure into the calculus.
Go back and look at the tribal rolls, over the years there were many many black Cherokee.
And of course the Cherokee allied with the Confederacy during the Civil war.
Facts is stubborn things.
Let’s talk about “brain drain”.
Imagine you have a population of people who are not very bright to begin with, and you take the best half of them out every generation. You leave the sickly, lazy, alcoholic, and genetically challenged in the population, to breed the next generation.
That’s what reserve indians are.
It’s not just indians. It happens everywhere all the time.
Are you ancestors the rising distillate, or the leftover sludge?
My first few years of public school were at Winfield Scott Elementary School in Fort Scott, Kansas. No wonder I’m such a fascist.
I’m guessing most people, including the Cherokees, have no idea this bird exists, much less who it was named for.
This nitpicking is what happens when busybodies don’t have anything better to do.
I'm guessing that most Cherokees have no idea that the author exists.
Could these people beclown themselves any further?
Oh crap.
Even the great legendary Winfield Scott can’t be spared.
Over a damn animal.
Zimbabwe Ridgeback has a nice ring.
Or maybe Mugabe Ridgeback.
Ummm...”Brazil Nuts”?
The Patriarchy! The Patriarchy!
We should call them “Brazil Ovaries” instead!
Meh, whatever.
Gypsies are trash, and they’re not a race.
