YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE YOU...well

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO YOUR HISTORY. NO RIGHT TO YOUR TRUTH. WHY? BECAUSE IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO FLY PLANES FROM TURKEY TO IRAQ……*

When there is a list of genocides, you never see on that list the United States of America and the indigenous people that the immigrants from across the Atlantic called - Indians. But in my opinion it was a genocide. Others want to argue it. http://www.hnn.us/articles/7302.html

And those immigrants who came to North America to claim the land as “This Land is My Land” were Christians, right? Nice people, right? Who were practicing the biblical standard of “Love thy neighbor as thyself", right?

What if we don’t call the treatment of the Indians "genocide", but acknowledge how wrong it was to treat the Indians in the way they were - and continue to be - treated?

What if some other group of people came to the shores of the United States of America today and invaded us and took over not only “our” land, but made laws to make it illegal to speak English, changed our names to their comfortability sense, took our children away from us and put the children in boarding school to force them to take the New People’s culture, language, customs, government and religion? Everything that we have done our whole lives that was indeed our personal and community’s identity was now against the law. We had to give up our way of dress, cut our hair to a foreigners' proclamation and we were limited to land that these foreigners chose to put us on. Then generations later, as the Rhode Island Narragansett Indians have found the state does not recognize them as a sovereign people. What would we do if we were invaded? Would we seriously let this happen without trying to maintain our beliefs, our way of life?

Slim to none chance, don’t you think? And yet that is exactly what happened to the indigenous people before this land was stolen in reality from the “Indians”. A good dose of acknowledgement of what really happened is long over due. And the USA government's "stealing" of the trust funds belonging to the Indians is a crime that we would have to know about and "search" for the news coverage on it.

The Mission Statement of the American Indian Genocide Museum:
The purpose of this museum is to bring historical truth
to light through the means of education using actual
documentation of events that have transpired in the
near extermination, and in some cases, the total
extermination of native tribes and cultures. It will be a
memorial to the victims of ethnic cleansing. Racism,
discrimination and injustice will be addressed with the
purpose of promoting public awareness that these
elements of genocide which existed in the past,
continue to exist today. A further purpose of the
museum will be to address prejudice which is
generated toward native peoples through biased
reporting of history. http://www.aigenom.com/

* This is Bush’s quote regarding the Armenian genocide which more people acknowledge than have ever acknowledged what happened to the Indians between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. “We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Armenian people that began in 1915,” Mr. Bush said in remarks that, reflecting official American policy, carefully avoided the use of the word genocide. “This resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings, and its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror.”
