As immortalized in the classic Film “The Blues Brothers” where a group of dim-wits put on Historically Authentic Military Uniforms (of the SchutzStaffel) and marched through a largely Jewish suburb of Chicago.
So, on Territory Days, can those of us who are of Indian descent expect to see these guys celebrating the American Genocide?
Now, I KNOW somebody will point out that there are still American Indians alive today.
And say that therefore the Genocide and the attempted full-on Extermination of AMERICANS never happened.
Like the Smallpox Blankets,
or herding the Indians onto the U.S. version of the Warsaw Ghetto,
the mass slaughter of the American Bison (Buffalo, TaTonka…)
encouraged and enforced by the U.S. Army in a policy to starve out the plains tribes.
Colonels Custer and Chivington both making the statement that killing the women and children was necessary
because “nits make lice”
and killing off the men without slaughtering the women and children would be a waste of time,
you have to kill the Breeders.
And in a way, they’re almost right.
The bastards FAILED… we’re still here in spite of the Mass Murders.
By the same token, if they want to judge the U.S. Genocide as “false” on those grounds they would have to judge the Nazi Genocide as “false”
And they can dress up and pretend to be the perpetrators of the Racist Murders and laugh and joke and pretend that it was somehow righteous…
But there will be some, especially ME right here, right now….
Who will call you on it, and remind you that such displays are like these…
Might I remind gently that the largest actions the Klan has staged in the past three decades have been attempts to terrorize Native Americans and Immigrants by putting on Period Costumes
And marching through the towns, villages and neighborhoods where we live.
Like Old Colorado City… where I personally live.
