History Lesson

The important thing, I've learned, is what you don't read or hear about in history. I learned this lesson by reading Howard Zinn and from my friend, Jim Craven.


History begins in the Western U.S. when the pure, or "white and delightsome" (as the mormons might say), families moved west after the invasion and conquest of Indian lands in the east. The man seems to be saying; "Look over there, my pure white family. Those are the Red Niggers we are gonna slaughter and steal all their land and resources because..."


"We will use this to further our colonialist desires, and when the Red Niggers refuse our advances and don't allow us just to take everything that belongs to them, we can use that as an excuse to further our military conquest and slaughter the inferiors by the thousands, millions, and hopefully wipe the face of the earth clean of their inferior race."


Those who refuse to die will have to be beaten and tortured with this book. It is a superior religion to theirs because we are the superior race and therefore...


Notice here what whitey has behind his back. He has something to back up his desires to steal everything that doesn't belong to him. Which, reminds me of one of my favorite Daniel Boone stories. When Dan was captured by the Shawnee, he met Tecumseh when he was 7 years old. Dan showed Tecumseh how white men did business, that's how Dan put it to the young lad. Dan held one hand extended and one behind his back, Tecumseh reached for the hand of alleged peace. When he shook Dan's hand, Dan grabbed his and put the knife he had hidden behind his back to Tecumseh's throat. Take that pattern and overlay it with a lot of shit that is happening today, and ain't much changed.


And what is this offensive statue between the court house and the cop shop in dowtown Portland called? That's right: "The Promised Land." You see, god promised this land to whitey, it's just that god was too fucking stupid and made the mistake of creating red niggers here first. Therefore, the red niggers had to be dealt with, cleared from the land like the trees, salmon, camas, and many other plants and animals. These "problems" had to be "solved" by whitey. Final solution. Kind of like what is happening with the Iraqi's right now. They are a problem to be solved in order for the superior race to get to the resources that god was too stupid to just give to whitey. He put other races of humans there, and now that problem needs to be solved.

There is your history lesson. Any questions?
