The Nativity of Oppression

This is an example of racist hate speech produced by groups like the SanCopha League who would be better off listening to men like George Washington Carver and Booker T Washington. Many native Americans were murdering, raping, and enslaving each other long before the European arrived. Some had policies of oppression and even human sacrifice. Many Native American tribes such as the Creek and the Choctaw were slaveholders. Tribes such as the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Catawba, and Creek tribes fought on the Confederate side.

The desire to divide people by race, describe the character or morality o people by race, or organize people in som form of intersectionality by race is racist. We can and should only measure and judge individual people according to their present character and personal deeds and past actions if we truly desire equality.

The historical fact is some European whites protected, defended, and befriended native people and some also abused them. But it is also a fact that some native tribal people were killing, invading, enslaving, raping each other from one end of the Americas to the other while there were also good moral native Americans. Some of the same white settlers and native Americans, African people were booth good and moral or wicked and evil within the same lifetime.

Dividing good and evil by race is the definition of what a racist does and that is both unproductive and a snare of the heart.

The Aztecs were killing and enslaving people by the tens of thousands because they had the power to do so until the Spanish came with more power, thanks to Columbus, who may have been an answer to the victims' prayers.

Each generation must guard themselves from the spirit of tyranny. Even a modern voter in a democracy has the seed of tyranny growing in his heart when he wields the power to oppress his neighbor and force him to pay for the benefits he wants.

Columbus is dead. He has crossed the great divide that we all encounter sooner or later. Was he Saint or sinner?

Probably a little of both from time to time.
