As If He Were Human
Statement Made About a Sioux Baby
See, it was obvious we were not plants or rocks, but no good "Christian" could slaughter Old People, women and babies-- therefore we had to be some type of animals.
There was a problem with that thought process beyond the obvious one many of you are thinking right now. See the Bible has a certain verse in it that says,"A righteous man regardth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." Proverbs 12:10 KJV
Now the writer was obviously educated. Commenting that a baby cried ". . .as if it were human. . .", and being able to publish that in a public media source, in a "Christian Country" only goes to prove that it was the general opinion of the day of the larger part of the populace.
It also goes to show that the truly righteous were unwilling to speak up or may be the fact they did not speak up brings into question their righteousness?
This attitude has not disappeared totally yet, and may never. There are still people in this world that think the only skin color God accepts is white.
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7
How many colors of dirt are there? Sand is whiteish in color, fertile soil is dark, browns to blacks, Clay comes in yellows and reds.
I'll leave this topic for now, the more I write the more I can think of to write.
Please, do leave comments. Let's turn this into a discussion.

Post a CommentJanine--I can not believe that ppl would judge you ability to use English by your last name?! When I was in school they taught this was the "melting pot of the world" English is taught in most all countries now--even in the poorest of schools.
This attitude does still exist today and people just do not realize it. Eugenics is still alive but not so well in this country today.
There will be more articles about this to follow.
Ignorant people will always be so - because they hide behind their ignorance - it is a matter of disavowing that anything or one different from their "tunnel vision"of what is - could be humane - they are such sad people and we must give them all the compassion we can afford to because they are sad and lost these are the kind of people that start hate crimes.
We are all beautiful all babies are beautiful and a most precious gift to us. Love & Light
There are people in this world who are terribly ignorant.Because of my name-people are suprised I speak and write English!One woman made a comment to me-"some people behave like animals".This comment did not insult me, I told her, you just gave me a big compliment!
I have dark brown skin, as I am native born hawaiian of my mother, and cherokee on my father's side. When we moved to the mainland, I was a child who was spit on, called porch monkey, cavewoman, and treated less than human. I didn't understand, what was so different of me from "them." The only answers I got from my cries of "why," as a child, was that my skin wasn't "white".......
This was over 40 years ago, and today...., I remember those moments as a lesson in the history of human life. My mother died long ago, with such anger in her heart for how the United States took the Hawaiian islands, after dethroning our last Queen, and how Japan bombed our homeland from the political agenda of the United States.
I do not want to die with that much hate in my heart towards any race of people. So I continue to work on healing through forgiving and making a difference in my own life. I will also try to help all I can with those who are still in pain or suffering. True Change will continue
Well done and well said. A powerful reminder of how far we have grown in how many see the world.Your perception of why/how Native genocide happened is right on. No Christian would ever slaughter humans like this.So they made us non-human...then it was OK and unlike the black race no one fought a war over us to ensure that we had rights.Our extermination was the main goal.I look now and I have gratitude for the awakening of many people of all races who look and see just how much harm and wrong has been done. They join their voices with ours(we who have survived the ethnic cleansing) in solidarity. A new day dawning is where we are and the sunrise is beautiful.
...SHOCKING...
and INSULTING... what the USA has done in its MENACING activity toward the INDIAN and what the USA presumes to continue!
THE Cruelty to the INDIAN must Cease!
The NATIONS will Not WELCOME a USA alongside the LEADERS of THE NATIONS of this Great EARTH that have such VIOLENCE in theme and ANOMOSITY in them toward THE INDIAN PEOPLE!
Fact.
What is OVER DUE to the Indian... is beyond SHAMEFUL... ! Owed by the USA!
The HISTORY BOOKS of Nations will have such ARTICLES of INSTRUMENTS of FACT as this one... and more... that shows the PERILS the USA put to the INDIAN PEOPLE along with the HOLOCAUST committed against the INDIAN PEOPLE by the USA!
What will be that one sentence in those CHAPTERS filled with USA GUILT of VIOLENCE and MENACING TREACHERY to the INDIAN... will it be what should be that by November 23, 2009 the USA ceased to VIOLATE the INDIAN PEOPLE?
_____for every second the USA continues on its course of DISREGARD... of VICTIMIZING the INDIAN
Thank you Cha'kwaina -- my "sister" -- for presenting this very painful truth!
Wow/ Nativie where viewed like monkey zoo animals,like science specimans to be analized~~and the writer of that old article was suppose to be educated,did they not reallize they are the ones who looked pretty pale ugly standing on stolen Native land?
It cracks me up when someone turns down my help because I'm not white enough! Or, that I'm going to burn in hell for not being their type of Christian. I'm mixed blood and I am not Christian at all but I have a better giving attitude then most white christians I've met. How many "white Christian's" do you know who will send a black's law, a jar of peanut butter and 20 pounds of beans to a family in need? Can't name one, no suprise to me!
