WHY THE DEMONIZATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS?
Each year at thanksgiving time there is no shortages of articles and
talk show hosts who feel that they have to demonize the Native
Americans. Michael Savage for example stated on his show recently that
Native Americans were very cruel reciting that he learned that Indians
would skin some of their prisoners alive in front of their family
members. He went on to describe them as being more or less constantly
at war. He implied that the idea that Indians were living peacefully
until the white Europeans arrived as a myth.
Did it ever occur to Michael that he was painting the Native Americans
with a rather large brush? And did it occur to Michacle that he might
be reading distorted American history? Yes it is probably true that
some Indians did skin some of their captives alive but does he than
think that this practice was common to all Indians? Sure some Indians
fought wars amongst other Indians but was it true of all Indians that
they were constantly at war and practicing acts of cruelty as Michael
was implying? Wasn’t it true also that the Europeans had fought
numerous wars amongst each other and many acts of cruelty were
committed but would Michale call them savages? Not on your life would
he do so.
Another good example of deliberate distortion of American history can
be illustrated by a recent TV document aired on PBS in July, 2007,
entitled, How the British Lost America.
The documentary used as evidence that the Indians practiced scalping
as proof of their savagery yet they neglected to point out that it was
white people who demanded scalps to prove body count that started the
practice. Neither did the documentary state that in I Samuel 18:27 of
the bible we are told that David and his men slew 200 Philistines and
cut off their foreskins as proof of body count. Apparently, cutting
off scalps was evidence of savagery, while cutting off men’s foreskins
was civilized.
The narrator also neglected to inform the viewers that the honorable
American George Washington burned down Native-American villages which
were the homes of Innocent civilians therefor would be labeled an act
of terrorism in today’s world.. The documentary also exonerated the
US of genocide against the Native Americans on the grounds that some
of them fought on the side of the British. He failed to mention that
all the tribes west of the Mississippi had their lands stolen from
them even though they did not fight on the side of the British. Where
they spared being murdered and having their lands stolen from them?
Absolutely not.
.Rush Limbaugh took a similar tack as he does each year at thanks
giving time giving his usual White supremest and America can do no
wrong point of view.
Like wise Tom Finneran on his Day before thanksgiving day program on
WRKO 680 on the dial continued on in the American tradition of
vilifying Native Americans. His female co talk show host stated that
what happened to the Indians was nothing like slavery. It is appalling
to me how such people seem to be so ignorant of what really happened.
How about some historical truth here. Thomas Jefferson told the Lewis
& Clark erudition to tell the Native Americans ‘”THERE”S A NEW GOD IN
WASHINGTON.THERE’S A CHANGE COMING UPON THE CONTINENT AND THAT THEY
HAD BETTER LEARN TO BE LIKE US.”
This instruction by Jefferson is a true picture of America past and
present..Americans think we are God and that wherever we go the people
should be prepared to give up their lands, their traditions and become
like us. So we see that the idea of regime change is not just a modern
day American foreign policy but in fact began with Jefferson’s
instructions to the Native Americans.
It’s a very revealing portrait of the American mindset.The idea of
American exseptionalism and Ronald Regan’s statement of his belief
that” Providence set aside this land between these two oceans for a
special people ” is but a continuation of our American tradition of
regarding ourselves as the salt of the earth, the very righteousness
of God upon the Earth begun with Thomas Jefferson’s instructions to
the Lewis & Clark expedition.
To say that the planned genocide of the Native Americans(the orders
given to General Poe who was in charge of the campaign against the
Plains Indians “KILL THEM ALL WITHOUT RESPECT TO AGE OR GENDER) which
resulted in the murder of well over one hundred million indigenous
people over the 150 year period in which the genocide took place their
lands stolen and the remnant who survived thrown into concentration
camps where many of them starved and were tortured and some of their
chiefs like Crazy Horse murdered was not as bad as slavery can only be
believed by people who don’t know America’s true history.
The truth is the genocide of the original Americans by the United
States was the greatest Holocaust of all times. I onced asked a Jew if
he thought that the American Genocide was a crime against humanity on
a scale equal to the Jewish Holocaust? He said no. I then asked what
if they had been Jews? His face went into a myriad of contortions
before he finally said “If they had been Jews it would have been the
greatest Holocaust of all times. I* informed him that The Book Of
Mormon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, states that
what became the Native Americans were originally from Israel taken out
of Israel as God always does the righteous before he destroys a city
or nation. Therefor the Native Americans would carry in their gene
pool Jewish genes.
Adolf Hitler knew what most American historians won’t admit that it
was a Holocaust.Hitler often remarked to his inner circle when some of
their members questioned the morality of their final solution to the
Jewish problem. He would say who condemns America for doing what we
are doing exterminating our undesirables? Hitler knew that the victors
get to write their history and this being true all the Germans have to
do would be to make sure they won and if so they would never be held
responsible just like because America won the truth has been
suppressed.
I don’t expect talk show hosts to change their point of view
concerning what happened here to the Indians because they are white
Americans who have been brained washed by American historians who have
distorted history in order to enable Americans to feel good about
America. (Read “Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen) who is an
American history professor who after researching American History Text
books stated,”American history text book authors have written American
history text book with one thing in common, which is to enable
American students to feel good about America.” Thus much of American
history text books is feel goodism history. Both their race and
American history text book authors have conspired to make most white
Americans feel justified in the demonetization of Native Americans in
order to feel good both about the white race and the American Nation.
Some would say this blog is racist to which I reply prove anything
mentioned above is untrue. Many of my detractors say I am keeping
racism alive in this blog to which I reply to such as these but you
don’t think the people I cited above like Rush Limbaugh, Michael
Savage and Tom Finneran as being racists.
Also I would be happy never to write these facts again if the U.S.
would stop its constant bragging to the rest of the world about how
superior we are to them and claiming to have some kind of moral
authority that gives us the right to decide in every troubled area of
the world who the bad guys and good guys are. A nation that claims to
be a christian nation and sets itself up as righteous judge needs to
reread the scriture that says,”Judge not ,and ye shall not be
judged:condemn not,and ye shall not be condemned” Luke 6:37
