“I think it is disgusting to apologize for something we have no part in.”
Who’s ‘We’ ?
Do you think you had some part in all the massacres by both sides?
For that matter, if the White man had treated the Indians the way many Indians treated him, there would be no Indians today.
I keep hearing this genocide nonsense. Does any sane person not realize that if we really wanted to commit genocide on the Indians, that we easily could have eliminated them?
The Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding across the plains one day, when Tonto suddenly cocked his ear at a passing falcoln’s cry. “Kemosabe... Apache to East!” he whispered.
The Lone Ranger looked to his faithful companion. “What do we do?”
Tonto pondered a moment. “We ride West!”
After riding a short while, Tonto again paused, searching the horizon with his eagle-sharp eyes. “Kemosabe... Apache to West!”
The Masked Man looked once again at his friend. “What should we do?”
Tonto scratched his head in thought. “We ride North!”
After a brief ride, Tonto stopped to scent the breeze. “Kemosabe... Apache to North!”
“What do we do now?” his companion asked.
Without hesitation, Tonto replied, “We ride South!”
Within minutes, Tonto reigned in his horse and dropped to the ground. Placing his ear to the earth, he listened intently. “Kemosabe... Apache to South!”
Worried, the Lone One asked him, “NOW what do we do?”
Tonto thought hard for a moment, his eyes squinting in concentration. Then his face lit up. “What do you mean “WE”, White Man?”
"We" is everybody alive in America today. Who did you think it was? Grow up, Noobie.
Brownback has apparently been stuck on this drivel for years...advance notice that the so-called conservative has really been a mental defective all along.
Guess what's next? "Economic justice" for black peeps at the expense of whites and asians who weren't here then either.
Now we, represented by Senator Brownback, are responsible for what is happening to the Indians now. But do I think that will stop the government, no because they have apologized. I sure hope the indians feel better.
