       aj...   the first thanksgiving was a massacre of over 500 men
       women and children...  historical records are abundant and show
       where mercenaries were hired by the governor of the
       commonwealth.   its a travesty that we dont teach the truth and
       we perpetuate lies as honesty...  its a huge part of whats wrong
       with our people today, imho.  example, the trail of tears, a
       forced death march, is now shown in textbooks as a willing
       movement of indigenypeople to make room for the new settlers?
       fuck me running with a chainsaw, please...  we will never evolve
       until we recognize our mistakes as being such.   we are capable
       of being so much more.

       All true unfortunately...What the Europeans and their
       descendants did to the Peoples of The Americas was the greatest
       crime against humanity in human history.

       I don’t know anyone who thinks the Trail of Tears was voluntary.
       I’m 26, but learned about what we did to the Indians early on in
       elementary school and again in high school. I know some people
       who think Andrew Jackson was akin to Hitler.

       bucky, what we taught six or seven years ago was closer to truth
       than what had been taught to us in the 60 and 70s ..  being half
       red and half white has allowed me to move in both circles easier
       than most.  it comes with its own set of challenges but the
       advantage is helpful.   there is a push going on to drive the
       last nail into the indigenous coffin in our country. textbook
       changes in elementary and middle school are being reworded for a
       more gentle experience, evidently.  the passages  i read were
       outright lies...   voluntary relocation to make room for their
       new brothers and sisters...   culturally and morally
       reprehensible..  revisionist history used to discredit and
       disenherit an entire race of humans...
       a side note,   as much as land can be owned, i own the very spot
       where the great indian killer, andy jacksoff jackson, made his
       camp and center of operations for the first death march.  he
       tried, god bless his little inbred heart, to remove all the
       choctaws from here... jackson is long gone and choctaw songs are
       still heard on this land, every day...     A, Chahta sia!    sia
       hoke!   (yes, i am choctaw!   i am still here!)

       Jackson lost his spot on the $20 bill. Perhaps Red Cloud, Crazy
       Horse, or Tecumseh would have been a more apropos replacement
       than Harriet Tubman...I don't know.
       Given all the wrinkles and flaws in Presidents, and other
       Historical figures in American History...perhaps it would be a
       better idea to replace all portraiture on currency with the
       Natural Wonders and Animals of Our Country.
       Mountains and Rivers don't lie...Canyons don't steal. Buffalo
       don't grope. White tail deer don't ask Russians for covert
       favors.
