This couldn’t be. Everyone knows the Indians were benevolent, pastoral people whose only goal was to paint with all the colors of the wind. Didn’t you see “Pocahantas?” Or “Dances with Wolves?” It wasn’t until those filthy Europeans came on the scene that murder, mayhem, and strife were loosed.

Clearly, Bush has to step-up and take responsibility here.

I think you’re right, it’s only the white devils that do this kind of thing.

Yes...those were exactly my thoughts....this just could NOT be...not according to the history being taught about these people who are put up on pedestals.

Ya know what. I see this same BS crap on almost any article about American Indians. Yes, some indigenous peoples were cruel, yes they did have wars with each other. So to some of you, that makes it not so bad that when white man massacred thousands upon thousands of natives in North and Central America. In case you didn't know, one of the reasons that black slaves were brought over to the new World in the first place was the the Indian slaves were dying off and needed to be replaced.

I suppose you might be one of those conservatives that wonders why 90% of Indian tribes all vote for the Democrats. (including my tribe)
