Happy Indigenous People's Day!

[Hellbilly]

Yeah ..where have I heard this before?

If it weren't for [insert demographic here], the [insert another demographic] would [insert your imagination].

You mean “If it weren’t for white people you savages would still be living in the stone age” Is that what you mean?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

All of which is expected from savages. Not “civilized people”
All tribes are honored and respected?
Not around here.

Too bad for you.

Seems like savagery was met with savagery all around. If only because the people that settled this country weren't the same kind of soi bois as today. In every war there are winners and losers. That's how it works.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You mean “If it weren’t for white people you savages would still be living in the stone age” Is that what you mean?

Of course not. At some point in history some advanced people would come along and the native people would still be crushed.

The OP has some facts. Which all the leftoids chose to ignore.

I wish they all would dance with wolves, man-eating beasts that they protect because hunting them to extinction would be "toxic masculinity"

 

[Old Rocks]

Or, perhaps, you need to rethink that.

They weren't peaceful.

And St. Bartholomew's Day in France was just a happy get together, correct? Yes, our indigenous peoples were just as brutal as we Europeans. We just had better technology.

 

[Old Rocks]

Of course not. At some point in history some advanced people would come along and the native people would still be crushed.

Not more advanced, just with a better technology and meaner germs. You silly asses really need to read "Guns, germs, and steel" by Jared Diamond.

 

[Old Rocks]

...and never progressed out of the Stone Age.

And we Europeans were still living in caves when in the Middle East and India they were building cities and learning mathematics.

 

[Old Rocks]

We were here when the Vikings invaded.
We have been here for 15,000 years

Our indigenous people have been here at least 36,000 years by the latest archeological finds. Since that is in New Mexico, probably a good deal longer than that. Took a few generations to get from the coast to New Mexico.

Not more advanced, just with a better technology and meaner germs. You silly asses really need to read "Guns, germs, and steel" by Jared Diamond.

Ummmm. Better technology really means more advanced. It's supposed to be a secret.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

The America that broke every treaty with the Indigenous people.

Little Big Lie

In this Constitutionazi government, its privileged oligarchy violated the will of the people in making those surrender-treaties. The settlers themselves democratically rejected ever one. We, the people, never made any of those treaties.

The Sioux who murdered the heroic Seventh Cavalry had been armed at the reservations by Liberal Republicans.

 

[Captain Creeper]

I mean, we came over to the new land and handily conquered the natives. It was most certainly not THEIR land. The Indians did not own it. They did not have deeds. No such system of property ownership existed at the time. Therefore, it is entirely incorrect today to allege that the land belonged to (I.e., was owned by) the Indians. At most, they were squatters on the land. U.S. white European settlers had just as much right to the land as did the Indians.

Second, we swept the Indians off the land with the ease and efficiency of Democrats sweeping drug addicts and homeless people off the streets of blue cities when a VIP visits, or when a major event occurs there that places them in the spotlight. You really have to applaud the Europeans for being so effective at this. Essentially, we evicted the Indians.

And, yes, some Indians suffered. But we clearly mitigated their loss by giving them minority status, and all the perks that go along with that, sovereign reservation on OUR land, casinos, and more fire water than anyone can consume in a million years. Not only are we square with the Indians, but they got MORE than they may have deserved.

So, think about it. What, exactly, is there to celebrate on “Indigenous People’s Day”. This is a holiday created by white people, btw; so again, you are welcome. Essentially, we are celebrating a group of uncivilized and backward people who, among other things, are ok with marrying and impregnating 12 year old girls, and who, despite their “proud” native heritage, allowed themselves to be conquered, and taken advantage of like a drunk girl at a frat party at Roofy University. Honestly, is this anything that we ought to be celebrating?

American Indians are, generally speaking, cool people, so long as they are not swept up into the leftist “oh, woe is me, I is a victim o’ da white devil” thing. But their history in America is one of shame and ridiculousness. I mean, if you are one who would sell the entirety of the island of Manhattan for a bottle of booze and a quick handy-j behind a bush, you have absolutely no concept of property ownership and what that means. The entirely false assumption that their mere presence on the land equated to vested ownership is an act of applying western standards upon these people, which is insulting to them.

Indians were just some jack-offs like anyone else, except they lived in a very primitive society. What would they have done if we had not shown up? Eventually, they would have sold out anyway. They would have had to once they saw how the rest of the world was living: booze, guns, whites women … all the things that make life worth living. And, yes. They would have seen this. They would not stay out of reach from the rest of the world. North America is not a tiny island located in some remote and desolate jungle. They were NEVER going to maintain their situation in North America.

The Vikings were converting to Christianity at that time, so were losing their bloodthirsty way of life.

Good thing....
They were nasty buggers if you disagreed with them.

 

[westwall]

You've been feeling sorry for yourself for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time. The pale strangers from the sky sure did a number on you.

The dumbass IS a pale stranger. He's not native American save by marriage.

He's a fraud.

Yup

 

[BackAgain]

Folks can call it whatever they want, but as far as I'm concerned it's a holiday they can eliminate and no one would miss save the Knights of Columbus.

Happy Columbus Day.

He's a fraud.

Geez....

We might as well start calling this place the sock warehouse....

 

[justoffal]

Of course not. At some point in history some advanced people would come along and the native people would still be crushed.

Yeah .... They had no idea what gunpowder was at first....
Or cannons....
Or Crossbows for that matter....

He's a fraud.

Still waiting for proof colonizer
You have none so you lie.
Typical white man.

 

[Correll]

Can't we just all GET ALONG?

I'm tired of this shit!

Sure. Give me back Columbus Day and stop erasing my culture and history.

We can be bestie friends then.
