Blacks owned slaves here and in Africa.
The Japanese had slaves.
The Romans, Greeks.
The Muslims.
Slavery was an institution practiced worldwide yet I bet this documentary will portray the white man as its inventor.
But but but look at what the white did to the Native Americans! True, but nearly every nation on this planet was the result of one peoples conquest over another.
Even Mexico. The illegal immigrant narrating this documentary probably doesn't know that his county of Mexico came to be as a result of the Spanish conquest of the natives there.
I am sick of that ****, too. Native Americans act like in the past all they did was sit around with all the other tribes and smoke peace pipes, laugh and play. Bullshit. They tried to wipe each other out. I guess they are just pissed because the white people did it better than anyone else.
If you watch "Dances with Wolves," a scene in that just cracks me up. Another tribe is set to attack the Sioux. The Sioux warriors go out to head them off. It is a faint, and the other tribe, the "noble" Native Americans, are going to attack the village with nothing but old men, women and children. Thank goodness Kevin Costner has guns. Anyway, at the end, Costner's character makes a speech about it was a war not fought over some dark political objective or land, but to protect the food stores for the winter. How "noble."
It's war! Does it really matter what it is over? People die. Are some deaths more noble? And lets look at the scenario. One tribe faked out the other one so as to attack a village with old men, women and children. If successful, they were going to kill as many of the old men, women and children as they could while stealing all the food, leaving the survivors to starve.
Oh, those peace loving Native Americans.
