THE DAWES ACT: Massachusetts congressmen Henry L. Dawes drafted fderal legisslation enacted in 1887 which ordered the "registering" of Indians so that they can recieve an allotment of their own land. But to get on the "Dawes Rolles", Native Americans had to anglcize their names. This allowed White officials to slip the names of their relatives and friends onto the Dawes Rolles and reap millions of acres of land. In one state alone, the 138 million acres of Indian held land at the time of the Dawes Act in 1887 had been reduced to close to nothing by 1934, when the Act was repealed. Colombus never came to America, yet what followed was indeed a holocaust throughout North, central and south America, along with the caribean. Whether 100 million or less matters little. What is certain is from Colombus's own genocidal practices in the caribean, followed by France, the Dutch, English, and Portugues along with Spain, Holocaust is a fair and accurate description on the foundation of America.
so,now America is responsible for the Action of all the European Powers in the Americas?
Besides,the Original Post clearly states where the alleged Holocaust of a hundred Millions is supposed to have taken place,and no obfuscation changes that!

Indians held slaves.
Only as many as they could afford to feed.
Used 'em for labor, sex, trading, target practice and bribery.

So, the OP is defending slave traders



Not all tribes where the same please do some research before you put us all in one stereotype!!!

I just happen to be one of the 'Us' you is talkin' about.
The pacifists got extincted.
And, there was no such a thang as a vegan.
They eat horse, dog, cat, snake, rats. Whatever it took to stay alive.
Yes, they raided each other's tribes. Killed men, women and kids.
Some of the hotter women were taken for slaves.

The Indian Removal Act is today highly controversial. While most European Americans during this time favored the passage of the Indian Removal Act, there was significant opposition. Many Christian missionaries, most notably missionary organizer Jeremiah Evarts, protested against passage of the Act. Future U.S. President Abraham Lincoln also opposed the Indian Removal Act. In Congress, New Jersey Senator Theodore Frelinghuysen and Congressman Davy Crockett of Tennessee spoke out against the legislation. The Removal Act was passed after bitter debate in Congress.[6]WIKI

In the 1823 case of Johnson v. M'Intosh, the Supreme Court handed down a decision which stated that Indians could occupy lands within the United States, but could not hold title to those lands.[9] Jackson, as was common before the Civil War, viewed the union as a federation of sovereign states. He opposed Washington’s policy of establishing treaties with Indian tribes as if they were foreign nations. Thus, the creation of Indian jurisdictions was a violation of state sovereignty under Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution. As Jackson saw it either Indians comprise sovereign states (which violated the constitution) or they are subject to the laws of existing states of the Union. Jackson urged Indians to assimilate and obey state laws. He believed he could only accommodate the desire for Indian self-rule in federal territory and that required re-settlement west of the Mississippi River on federal land.[10][11][dubious – discuss]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Removal_Act
The so called "significant opposition" was actually insignificant ij that the Indian Removal act was enacted in 1887, it was modified later to appease some oppisition by the later legislation of the Dawes Act which remained active until its repeal in 1934. From 1887 to 1934 was enough to take all the land. Finally, achknowledging American history does not indicate hatred for this country.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark | Sat Oct 6, 2012 7:51pm EDT
(Reuters) - Republicans in Arkansas are struggling to get past the controversy generated by a state lawmaker who wrote that slavery might have benefited blacks and a candidate who has advocated expelling Muslims from the United States.

The Republican politicians' comments have been roundly criticized and have created an opportunity for Democrats ahead of the November 6 election. Arkansas has a Democratic governor but has voted Republican in the past three presidential elections.

In his self-published 2009 book titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative," state Representative Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro, Arkansas, writes that "the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise."

Hubbard, a retired teacher and Vietnam veteran who was elected to the statehouse in 2010, also wrote, "Wouldn't life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?"

His book also says that blacks "are likely much better than they ever would have enjoyed living in sub-Saharan Africa."

Charles Fuqua of Batesville, Arkansas, is currently seeking a House of Representatives seat. His e-book "God's Law: The Only Political Solution" came out in April on Amazon.

"I see no solution to the Muslim problem short of expelling all followers of the religion from the United States," he writes in his book, according to The Arkansas Times newspaper.

Fuqua, an attorney, served as a state representative from 1995 to 1998 before losing a state senate race.

Neither Hubbard nor Fuqua could be reached for comment. Both are running for election in November.

The Republican Party of Arkansas denounced their comments and distanced itself from the two candidates.

"The reported statements made by Hubbard and Fuqua were highly offensive to many Americans and do not reflect the viewpoints of the Republican Party of Arkansas," state party chairman Doyle Webb said in a statement on Saturday.

But Webb also blamed Democrats for drawing attention to the two books, which he called "distractions."

Candace Martin, spokeswoman for the Democratic Party of Arkansas, said that "with these appalling views, Jon Hubbard cannot be trusted to represent Arkansans and set policy for our state."

Jay Barth, a political science professor at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, said the controversial comments were a throwback to the 1960s when Arkansas was a civil rights battleground.

"It's hard to remember a set of remarks this extreme on racial matters by an Arkansas official since the state's politics modernized in the late 1960s than that by Mr. Hubbard," Barth said on Saturday.

He added that Fuqua's writing created a particular challenge for Republicans because it made it more difficult to frame Hubbard's remarks as that of a single misguided party official. (Editing by Corrie MacLaggan, Alex Dobuzinskis and Paul Simao

poverty is a greed issue

if you make x amount but want more for what you provide that raises the price of the product or service you help provide

the price of said service or product goes up your fee increase but then the boss adds his increase on your increase thus raising the price to the wholesaler or salesman

then the salesman or wholesaler adds their increase to the other increases thus raising the price to the retailer

then the the cycle continues and the retailer raises their price

now the first guy that got a 3% raise ends up being an increase of 15-20% increase at the retail outlet

thus your raise cost you a 17% increase in the cost of living

but hey what do i know

Call it Holocaust or genocide, but right from the very start the European settlers were begging their British king to destroy the "savages" faster then he already was. It was one of the reasons they listed in their Declaration of Independence that caused them to want to seperate from England. Merchants, many of them Jewish, supplied the British, French and American armies ETHNICALLY CLEANSE the indiginous Native Americans from their ancient lands. Once the bloody deed was done and the murderous armies retreated, it was those merchants who surveyed and divided the land into lots and began selling them to white settlers. This land "value" was created out of thin air and these properties and their rights were then protected by the US goverment. Legendary "frontiersmen" like Danial Boone were actually surveyers in the employ of these merchants, and some of Boones reciepts are actually in yiddish. Massacres netted white settlers just that, MASS ACRES of free land. In harmony with the massacres were the dreadfull concoctions of deceases that reduced the natives to insignificant numbers. The 100 million is a number hard to confirm, however the millions stem from the North, central, South America, the Caribean and Canada. Call it Holocaust, or genocide, it does nt matter, if Colombus has a holiday, imagin the uproar if Hitler had one.


No one is indigenous to north america.

genocide is genocide, what moron needs a link to know common American history? You have a habit of refuting historical facts with nothing. You dont need a link, what you need is a refresher course in American history, simple as that. I need not provide anything no more then you have, the facts of history are facts, take it, or let it alone. KEEP YOUR PERSONAL ATTITUDE AT HOME.
