Sorry. You have to start with that. The lives of people whose murderers were not punished matter more than the lives of people whose murderers were. The Teton Sioux, Roman Nose among them, were hung for their deperdations. Colonel Chivingston was not. Shepherd was a local hero for annihilating the Delaware, and he had many accomplices.
But I grow less and less convinced that Chauvin was really deliberately murdering George Floyd, as is alleged, and if so, he should not be punished and should get his job back if he still wants it. If BLM lynches him instead of accepting that after a trial, George Floyd is no longer a martyr, and BLM is officially on a par with the KKK.
You make some good points.
Hey, is there any terrific run-down of history on Indian tribes?
One thing I never quite got was the whole Cherokee thing. Of course in school, we were taught to think how awful it was, etc, but basically I still thought “so what? Always crying about whites and probably the fact was they were a big threat to the new power.” Then I find out they were basically adapting to the European way and living amongst us. THAT in particular I find offensive...Jackson et al got rid of people who were trying to fit in. Of course, now, Unionists don’t like to find out that Cherokees we’re fighting on the south side in the CW. Ruins the racist narrative.
I have no doubt you are right about Floyd. But that’s true of every “racist case”. The Whole premise that it was white racism that killed some black thug is bogus. Only if there is solid proof, but it’s always assumed! It could be he doesn’t like the individual person, or he is just a bad cop, or even just an overzealous cop who screwed up. But oh no, it MUST be endemic racism because white cop/black victim.
