Our tribes were hardly familiar with genocide before the Europeans invaded. Genocide is the process of systematically slaughtering a group. Simple warfare does not breed such ultimatums in the least bit. I don?t see why this is even relevant at all, as I wasn?t attempting to convey the point that Native Americans were or are currently a completely peaceful and passive race. We are, without a doubt, such for the majority though, but as all others there is blood on our hands as well. It?s that kindness and belief in false, white, propositions that led to our downfall. Settlers had enough trouble as it was with the few individuals that did choose to stand and fight, just imagine if we all had been united under such a banner.

I see no blessings that were brought with the arrival of those pasty skinned dullards. Unless you count hypocritical and detached religions, various diseases and plagues, death, lies, etc? Not only did they manage to wipe out much of what was once a beautiful and thriving culture, but with it they took several species of animals as well. The greedy heart of the Whiteman knows no boundaries.

But, since I?m only pretending to be offended by such, would you please tell me what I?m actually offended by? That way, I can go whine about it instead and leave you in peace to wallow in your mental state of white supremacy and obviously flawed ego. As dna has already stated, many of our cultures are far from dead, though have sadly been deluded and capitalized upon, even being bred out of existence in some cases. I?m not necessary attempting to make you feel remorse or regret for actions of the past, but I do firmly believe that they should be recognized and acknowledged. I am certainly, in no way, saying that I have more of a right to live here than you do either. My ancestors struggled for a peaceful coexistence until the bitter end, ultimately it was the invaders who saw life and prosperity among one another to be unfit, like the good Christians they were.

Oh, and I brought about no mention of said oppression of Scotland because it is but one of many wrongdoings in British history. To thoroughly and accurately go over every misdeed would take forever, and probably more storage space than this forum is willing to shell out.

Thanks for arguing such points in my absence, Dev, I think you are better suited to it anyway, considering. You make excellent points though I think it is sadly futile to argue such, at least here, no matter what evidence you provide, what facts you present, the idea(s) will still always be shot down, that's the kind of conditioning you should expect (I thought you knew this). Through the years as I've spoken out I've some to realize that no matter how much I tried, could not change the intellectual impotence of an entire country.

Well Angst, thanks for setting this topic back. For some unknown reason, you?ve decided to rehash each and every one of Woodsman?s claims. I guess having them easily destroyed once wasn?t good enough, eh? Anyway, to save time, I shall simply suggest you take a look in the northern direction of this thread, for it is there that most of your questions will be answered.

I will expand upon some points though, such as you thinking that hypocritical Christians are the minority. All I have to say to that is: HA!. In my experience, it has been extremely difficult to find a Christian worthy of the air they breathe. Of course, I realize that there are exceptions to this, just as there is to everything. Besides, the white man, at large, is indeed quite evil. History does not lie.

Quit my bitching and move on? I would gladly move on if what I was fighting was IN THE PAST. However, it is not, as is evident from various sources? lack of realization.

A fair enough statement, however, it is hard to do so when you are hated, or in the very least ignored. The majority of people are oblivious as to what the history of this country really is, and that?s sad, because once flourished an utterly beautiful array of cultures. It is hard not to complain about our current situation, as no justice has been tossed our way. For example; there were nearly half a dozen Christian holidays in just this one month alone, yet not one Native American holiday in the entire year. I don?t see a ?Red History Month? either. And, as stated before, it is even more disgusting when compared with holidays which are clearly displayed with a hateful undertone towards us.

All in all, such things are just examples. I never much cared for holidays in general, and would certainly not wish to see my ancestors? suffering turned into a profitable parade or some such commercialized bullshit.

Dont forget about the vikings damn you!
