The African American Museum

Why are blacks so much more important than the Native Americans in this country? Why are monuments built for African Americans, but not Native Americans, or Mexican Americans in Washington D.C.?

There are 48 African Americans in congress, but only three Native Americans. Maybe that's because whites did a better genocide on the Natives, and there just not are enough left to vote in. Or maybe the Native Americans don't want to be part of a government that committed genocide on them, and stole their land.

60 Native American tribes are still fighting for their sacred land in North Dakota, against big oil trying to run a pipeline through their burial grounds. These Natives are still fighting against the pollution of this country.

There was no genocide of the Native American people. That is propaganda.

There are monuments built all over the country for various AMERICANS who showed innovation or great leadership. Why does it have to be about race?

You should add the Native Americans in North Dakota are unjustly fighting against the pipeline. They are still in the wrong, bit don't let facts get in the way of your emotional argument.

I am going to visit the Caucasian Museum soon. Could you give me directions?

Yes, because we decided to genocide them out of functional existence as opposed to enslaving and propagating them as beasts of burden.

You're just dead wrong and I'm so very glad I'm nothing like you.

It was not a concerted genocide over our history, but there were instances of it. The California Indians come to mind. It's not pretty.

The Great California Genocide


quote:
The state of California also got involved. The government paid about $1.1 Million in 1852 to militias to hunt down and kill indians. In 1857 the California legislature allocated another $410,000 for the same purposes.
In 1856 the state of California paid 25 cents for each indian scalp. In 1860 the bounty was increased to $5.

Not true at all. The so called genocide was propaganda that never occurred

 

[Onyx]

There was no genocide of the Native American people. That is propaganda.

So you deny the Trail of Tears and the massive spread of diseases that killed tens of millions during colonization?

 

[Onyx]

There are dozens of examples of Native American genocide.

For example, the forcing of many tribes on to reservations, IE, concentration camps.

What a surprise that the deplorables have n issue with this museam!

Have they finished that giant Geronimo mountain sculpture in Dakota yet?

That isn't what genocide means.

 

[Onyx]

That isn't what genocide means.

Genocide is defined as the policy of attempting to systematically destroy or weaken an ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race. This is spelled out by the UN.

Forced relocation is commonly accepted to be a form of genocide. Read Article II C of the international convention on genocide.

Article II:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

In retrospect, all those offenses were committed by every nation in the Americas.

I don't use the UN dictionary or care what they think. That definition fits every square foot of the planet. Using their idiotic terminology Indians were committing genocide on other Indians.

 

[Onyx]

N dictionary or care what they think. That definition fits every square foot of the planet. Using their idiotic terminology Indians were committing genocide on other Indians.

That could be argued.

Enemy tribes often tried to exterminate or assimilate each other in a lot of native culture groups.

But when European settlers did it it was "genocide"?

Liberals are evil people....

 

[Onyx]

Yes.

Attempting to destroy or weaken a nationality, religious group, ethnicity, or race is considered genocide.

The UN's definition comes from the scholarly community by the way. I guarantee you it was not invented on the spot, and I heard it in more than a few publications about the Australian Assimilation policy, the discriminatory attacks on first nation tribes by the Canadian army, and relating to various African conflicts.

When Catherine the Great tried to relocate all the Jews in Russia deep into eastern siberia, that was genocide.

When Stalin intentionally created an artificial famine in Ukraine (known as the Holodomor), that was genocide.

When Mao Zedong imprisoned and killed spiritual leaders of the Falun Gong, that was genocide.

That's a lame excuse to try to justify the genocide by whites and stealing their land.
