#native american genocide

[athena5898]

It really speaks of the lack of critical thinking, the lack of understanding, the lack of imagination, the lack of many things that when you criticize Joe Biden, you are met with fearful liberals crying "what about Trump?! Do you want him to win!" As if any of us want that.

However, what the rest of us understand, is that there are options. There have always been options, but you have allowed the empire to cloud your mind and make you think their solutions, their poison is the only solution.

134 Years Ago. (tw: genocide)

134 years ago today, the worst mass shooting event ever would happen. At is wasn't committed by some incel or an Islamic terror group—no, it was committed by the US Army. 134 years ago, after a war called the Ghost Dance War, or the Messiah War, because a Lakota man predicted that the US Army would be beaten back by the Lakota people from a vision he got from a Ghost Dance (a type of dance where you smoke mountain tobacco and dance around a totem pole with string that's been pierced through your skin and affixed to the totem pole until you pass out, the resulting vision is held to be prophetic). But, at this point, the Lakota already sued for peace, and were living on the Oglala Lakota Indian Reservation. They were told the US Army wouldn't harm them anymore, they signed a treaty saying they wouldn't be harmed if they stayed on the reservation, they were told they were safe. They wouldn't be. On this morning, 134 years ago, the 7th Calvary Regiment commanded by Colonel James W. Forsyth. They would surround the small encampment of Lakota at Wounded Knee. And they would start firing. The Lakota had nothing to defend themselves, they were disarmed as agreed in the treaty they signed—a few had guns, but they were woefully outmanned and outgunned. The US Army were using Hitchkiss mountain guns (heavy weaponry for the time) and had a force of just shy of 500 'people.' The Lakota only have 120 who could fight. After the guns stopped, 90 Lakotan warriors laid dead, four wounded. Civilians, on the otherhand, were far worse. 200 civilians,—men, women, and children, elderly and the young—would die, and about fifty would be wounded. 31 US Army men would die in the attack, too, and 33 injured. The Army would then dig a mass grave, and pile in the bodies. 19 men would get the Medal of Honor for their acts. After pressure from American Indian Activists, both houses of Congress—a century after the fact—would "express their deepest sorrows" for what happened that day, but they would never rescind the medals.

Historic Investigation of U.S. Boarding Schools for Native Children Ends With Scathing Report - UNICORN RIOT

[ponkydraws]

My classmate just asked our history teacher if the native Americans should be grateful for the genocide since it gave them an increased immune system…like yeah…immunity to illnesses that would’ve never been there had there not been European colonizers?! And if Africa still lives in the stone ages and has rampant cannibal populations? I literally cannot cope

I saw that some people that were stolen precious, emotional token had gained back thanks to the internet. So here I plead. I'm on my knees and I'm begging to see returned to me The father I had before a man sat at his desk with his and a discovered carelessness in his voice The mother I knew before she became too angry of what life had turned her doll into

The ability to love that I shattered myself and locked away

The faith in God that became dirty out of all those false humans words using it to clean themselves up

The first ever trust I gave that was kept among the pieces of my failure My body untouched, unviolated, sacred The humanity that will never again be part of me after they nourrished the soil with way too much children bloods

The innocence I felt before my anger took it away

Is the ethnic cleansing of Gaza ringing pretty close to the extermination of Native American people or is that just me?

[humanfist]

It literally did you just didn't pay attention in history class.

Guns

More guns than that, we have the 2nd amendment for a reason

Smallpox

Deliberately hunt their main food source into near extinction to destroy their logistics, the guns also are helpful at this stage

Point to the most recent time they perpetuated the cycle of violence if anybody try to bring up that you started the cycle of violence and are actively committing genocide

Make racist sports mascots and mid sized SUVs "honoring" their culture

okay but the American education system literally didn't tell us how to defend against horse archers

Wiser Voices Than Mine Speak Truth

I have written a few times about the current attempts to ‘dumbify’ the next generation of Americans by governors, school boards and others whitewashing, covering up, and downright lying about the history of this nation.  But nobody says it better than Dan Rather & Elliot Kirschner, so here is their take … Teach The Truth Ominous lessons from Florida By Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner 22 July…

Multiple genocides are happening, and their health ministries are purposefully being targeted so that they can downplay already horrendous loss of life.
