White Genocide is the biggest lie going....
Indians routinely slaughtered women and children and were merciless toward the white man.
At there highest point pre european North America only had between 7 and 10 Million total natives living on the entire continent.
While yes, not every interaction that europeans and later americans levied against the indians was fair or just, this notion that they were perfect creatures in tune with nature and never did anything evil is just nonsensical.
This myth that they only killed buffalo they needed and used every part is another nonsensical lie. Louis and Clark describe coming across a pile of rotting carcasses that stunk the air for miles around, caused by indians driving and entire herd over a cliff while hunting, and leaving most of it to rot in the sun.
They were savages, some were more civilized than others, but they were by and large savages none the less. They had no qualms hatcheting a child to death in cold blood and scalping the corpse.. taking a girl as a “wife” etc etc etc.
Thank God the europeans came and ended the savagery. I know not politically correct, but its not the lies that the PC crowd wish to continue to perpetuate.
I feel no white guilt over the fate of the indians, just as I feel no white guilt over the fate of many blacks in america today either, though the second group certainly has more claims of historical unjust treatment than a conquered bunch of savages.

The biligana have always had a sliding scale to place value on the lives of others. You do it now as you daily murder your own unborn children.
I was tutored at the knee of a grizzled old Sioux (Lakota) Tribal Leader who explained the pictographs in a "Winter Count" painting, a Tribal Calendar marking the most important event of the year. One of the years show buffalo carcasses at the bottom of a cliff sometime near the start of the 19th century. The old tribal leader explained that the elders had admonished their young repeatedly not to harvest buffalo in this wasteful manner. But the herds seemed so thick and the chore of shooting a dozen or so buffalo to supply the tribal needs with bows seemed so troublesome. In the end, the admonishments of the elders (who had seen the herds increase and decrease in cycles) were not heeded.
Yeah, at least a hundred carcasses.
