"Frog Hospital": Why I Consider Friend Fred's View Of Native Americans Wrong


Dominican Preacher Fray Bartolome De Las Casas, 16th Century "Protector Of The Indians"
Dear Fred,

I ended writing a blog post about "the topic" of white Europeans' perpetration of genocide in the Americas.

I don't want to get lost in the weeds of too long prelude but I will say that your view of the Snohomish almost certainly undervalues the role of deliberate, systematic, persistent destruction of Native American culture. 

Since I relate mostly to my Irish forebears (County Clare, the epicenter of traditional Irish music), I will note that SOBMF Cromwell, "a well-cultured Brit," quartered his troops' horses in Dublin's Cathedral.

And during the deadly potato famine of the 1840s, British overlords shipped bounteous supplies of wheat from Ireland to other parts of the world because the Irish were deemed so sub-human that they deserved nothing more than dirty potatoes, a root crop fit for those who grovel about on all fours. 

There is a well-worn joke about British treatment of the Irish. 

"Why did the British invent the wheel barrow?

To teach the Irish how to walk on two feet."

Here is why I consider your view of Native Americans wrong:

I hope you are moved to read Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz' book, "An Indigenous Peoples' History Of The United States."

"An Indigenous Peoples' History Of The United States"
(an illuminating book by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz)

I will conclude by saying that in the 1970s I lived in England for a full calender year and was always struck by how poorly-educated rank-and-file Brits were. 

I did not have this feeling anywhere else in Europe. But it shouted out to me in England.

Perhaps The Great Imperial Powers realize -- as does Trump does with his revelation of America's true "Know-Nothing" face -- that the nearest possible approach to invincible power is to keep the masses invincibly ignorant.

Trump and his follows lie.
The lying starts when they lie to themselves.

"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating."    


Paz contigo
