The indigenous peoples who populated the New World prior to the arrival of Europeans were arguably even worse than the hated white men who eventually conquered them, in terms of civility and wanton violence toward their enemies.

Indeed, far from things like slavery and genocide being introduced to the continent by Columbus and his successors, such acts of atrocity were already occurring widely among the various warring tribes of natives, who routinely enslaved, tortured, ritualistically slaughtered and even feasted upon their defeated enemies.

That’s right — many indigenous peoples practiced cannibalism upon those they had conquered and oppressed. Is that really what leftists want to celebrate? Don’t answer that.

“Long before the white European knew a North American continent existed, Indians of the Northern Plains were massacring entire villages,” explained George Franklin Feldman, author of the book “Cannibalism, Headhunting and Human Sacrifice in North America: A History Forgotten.”

“And not just killed, but mutilated,” Feldman added. “Hands and feet were cut off, each body’s head was scalped, the remains were left scattered around the village, which was burned.”


According to the eyewitness testimony of a Jesuit missionary named Father Barthelemy Vimont, who observed the Iroquois peoples in 1642, captives of the tribe had their fingers or hands cut off, were skinned alive and tortured for hours on end, then were scalped and mutilated in front of everyone.

:rofl

conservativetribune :lol:
 
You on record stating that none of this happened?

I'm on record that various missionairies made up a bunch of crap to justify their predations.

Scalping was learned from the French.
 
I am on record saying that conservativetribune is crap.
 
Well even if what the article states is true, it doesn't matter..because the Europeans claimed to be civilized and have the moral high-ground over "savage.

And clearly the didn't.

Columbus Controversy - Exploration - HISTORY.com

"Columbus ordered a brutal crackdown in which many natives were killed; in an attempt to deter further rebellion, Columbus ordered their dismembered bodies to be paraded through the streets."

It's almost as if you have no clue what "modern" civilization did around the same time period.....

.....also did in 1910-1960...

....did throughout human history.

Then wiping them out was totally acceptable behavior for the obviously superior white people.
 
I'm not trying to be a wise rear-end but if what Columbus did can be excused by the times he lived in then why can't we excuse what the Indians did by the times they lived in? The criticisms cancel out each other so we should either stick to Columbus or switch it to something else other than the Indians.

Maybe we can call it Explorers Day like we did with Presidents Day and celebrate all the explorers from the cavemen to the astronauts and celebrate the explorer spirit in all of us.

I was going to say it's an old Indian trick but it just might work but that would be corny. :)

Indians are from India. The British f***ed them up.

I thought they were from Cleveland. :)

All Indians I know like to be called American Indians instead of Native Americans. All people have things they are ashamed of or proud of and it's better to be proud. I don't judge people on what their relatives did to my relatives because they had nothing to do with it.
 
Those witches needed burning!

To get inappropriately serious suddenly, while I'm not religious I always pondered what would happen if I found myself in Abraham's position; defend humanity against extermination.

I used to think I would simply play Yo Yo Ma's first recording of the unaccompanied Bach Cello Suites. (You must listen; he has several, but that first one, when he was full of fire.....). How could a species that produced such beauty be deserving of erasure?, I would think. That would be the plea that wins. That soaring sound.




Now I'm not so sure. Maybe the defense would simply rest.

But then I listen to it, or maybe I read about something like Elon Musk's goal to push us into the stars and his litany of success, and I think maybe just maybe there's something. Maybe that spark is worth something. But then there's butchery in Darfur, organized evil in China/Russia, and a successful cult of insanity in NK, in Iran, in....




...in wherever the witches still need burning. How dare they do these things to self-conscious beings.

How dare they. How dare they insult self-consciousness in such a way.





/wannabe profundity off.

I really do like Yo Yo Ma.
 
I really do like Yo Yo Ma.

A master among masters.


I've seen him a few times when he played with the BSO. I'm not sure how much I'd pay to see a pure solo performance.


Might break the bank. Ditto for Rostropovich, if he was alive.
