Ward Churchill says: "Indians never did anything mean to anyone. Especially not each other. White people are the only people that have ever done anything bad ever. The United States is the only country that has ever had slavery. And I'm an Indian."

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | "The New World," a film slated for Christmas day release, tells the romantic story of Pocahontas and John Smith, but ads for the movie tell a more depressing story of political correctness.
A glossy magazine layout says that what settlers "named the Jamestown Settlement was already home to a noble civilization."
On my radio show, I mocked the idea that the pre-literate, stone-aged Powhatan Indians of Virginia constituted a "noble civilization," and in later version of ads for the movie, the word "noble" disappeared.
In its place, however, New Line Cinema included an even more absurd declaration, claiming that Jamestown "was already home to a civilization that had lived in peace for hundreds of years."
This notion that local tribes exemplified pacifist virtues is actually an insult to formidable, bloodthirsty warriors who battled constantly with their neighbors and rivals — and who, by the way, are portrayed with realistic ferocity in the film itself.

hell, if ward churchill said it, it has to be true. he's a professor fer chrissakes, they're infallable.
...like any family, the Family of Man has strange folk that come to the table. But old Ward surely shats upon a good family name...if in fact that's his true lineage. Actually, he's a bio-hazard whenever he opens his mouth.
I got's city plumbing but anyone that has a new house behind the big house is welcome to consider Ward as fill for the old....

Ward Churchill - Noble Redman
Unbelievable. Before the colonists....there was always warring between tribes all over the continent. This implies there were no "warriors'...only 'hunters and gatherers'. LOL!
