NBC News contributing “journalist” Simon Moya-Smith, 39, who is also a lecturer at the University of Colorado at Denver, recently put out the following tweet:

“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples emphasized health, housing, freedom to love who you love and the fact that we need Mother Earth. She doesn’t need us.”

This is an example of what we call “fake news.”

There may have been a dearth of jails, but prisoners of war could be captured, tortured, enslaved, or killed. Some tribes had “Blood Laws,” which referred to the widespread practice, particularly in the southeast, of revenge killing. Under this system, when someone killed a member of a particular clan, people from the offending clan had to kill one of their own to balance things out. (I’m guessing there was much debate about whom to sacrifice, not least amongst those who were in consideration.)

Some tribes were nomadic, but others lived in tepees. Tepees were made of animal skins and/or blankets wrapped around wooden poles and were typically about 10 feet in diameter. No doubt, a man’s tepee was his castle.

LOL! Now, that is one great post. That’s just what I will say the next time I encounter an idiot like that writer.

What a F**ing idiot. Must be a Democrat.

My ancestors lived in the region of the Aztec empire — where slavery was common and life expectancy was <40. I cheer for the Spanish liberating the area.
Kill ‘em all and let Gawd sort it out! But, they missed my ancestors — wonder why?

If THAT is a “girl” why do I see a 5 O’clock shadow on “it’s” face. Bet “IT’ shaves every morning before going to “work”.

[vpintheak]

What a complete tool! Yeah, they just killed each other in horrific ways. I am 100% positive homos would have been killed.
If they could have, they would have killed every animal they could find. Why did they become so good at using every part of the animal? Because they couldn’t do easily just kill them all.
Lies, crap, BS. All of it.

Yes, it was grand when savage heart cutters ruled central America.

***no laws against homosexuality or abortion****

George Catlin found the tribes hated the “dandies” the publishers said were the sex perverts of the Mandan tribe. They told Catlin not to paint a portrait of such a “fop” or else destroy theirs as they did not want their portraits in the same room.

Abortion? When Columbus explored the islands of the New World he found cages of Arawak women pregnant. The Carib cannibals had a sweet tooth for cooked babies.

“No need for wheel.
What the heck they need a wheel for?”

Well, it makes grinding grain (which they did do) a hellofa lot easier, that’s for sure.

[Fledermaus]

They didn’t need abortion. They were too busy killing each other in tribal wars.

Sacagawea, a Shoshone, was captured, along with another girl, by the Hidatsas Tribe. Toussaint Charbonneau, won both of them in a bet with the warriors who captured them. Sacagawea was 6 months pregnant when she accompanied Charbonneau on the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Statements issued by a person who doesn't even know how to pick his own nose.

Maximum soy.

There were no flushing toilets, the so called “noble savage” hadn’t invented the wheel, same for reigns and spurs. The different tribes were constantly at war. The so called great civilizations pulled the hearts out of living humans. What the heck is this idiot talking about!

His stupidity is beyond redemption.

[Chgogal]

“PS - tepees were only used by some western nomadic tribes. In most other areas the indigenous people who established permanent or seasonal communities lived in long houses or bark huts.“

With out running water, flushing toilets, electricity, central heating, air conditioning and countless other conveniences that increased the life span of all humans.

All that is true of Hell, also.

[DeWalt]

Yep. Those Noble Savages knew the value of the land. They sold it to Europeans for trinkets.

I'll take a guess.
