I suspect not one American in 500 knows about the Massacre of 1622.

A forgotten massacre.

Yeah, the natives weren't all cuddly, now were they. In fact, before European settlements, they were at war with one another all across the New World.

On this day, 406 years ago, the Powhatan Indians, who had been working peacefully with the Jamestown settlers, came among them as usual, but slaughtered every man, woman, and child they could.

Death toll: 347, a quarter of the English population.

The indians brought it on themselves. Their extreme barbarism guaranteed that we would have to virtually wipe them out. There is a reason they were called "savages", and it isnt because they were peaceful victims of the evil white man. Native Americans were among the worst humans that Earth has ever produced. Even the women in the tribes would gleefully torture men, women and children.

Dont feed me any romanticized bullshit about the "noble savage". They werent noble, they were f***ing awful.

I knew there were massacres but not that particular one. Thanks.

The crusades and the Native American-European wars are probably the most misunderstood and propagandized in history. With the way most people teach and understand these, you'd think they were one-sided black-and-white genocides against brown people, but this is not the case. In both of these conflicts there was massacre and bloodshed on both sides, they were amoral grey areas. This wasn't a cartoon like the Marvel films, it was real life, and most conflicts are like this than they aren't.

Whites Who Are Born Rich Hate and Fear All Other White People

That's why, like their relatives who followed Genghis Khan, they were kicked out of the civilized areas of Asia. And "noble" should never be used in praise. The nobility was just as degenerate, except that it had the intelligence to be organized.
