Thank Goodness This Was In Mexico

Post by Minimalist »

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007- ... 962115.htm
MEXICO CITY, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Mexican archaeologists found remains of two women and a man that can be traced to more than 10,000 years ago in the Mayan area of Tulum, Mexico's National Anthropology and History Institute said in a statement on Tuesday.

At least they can study the bodies without having a tug of war with the Indians over custody.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Maybe because the Indians in Mexico do not make political contributions from a $7 BILLION gambling industry, that they are allowed to have because of a carefully crafted White guilt campaign?

Don’t get me started on this subject! I start to vent real quick.

Go ahead.

It's still a free country.



(More or less.)

Like your comment about white guilt campaign KB. It's the same in the UK about slavery.
What the Hell are we supposed to feel guilty about damn it?

I am part Native American myself, which maybe helps with the guilt thing.

A story about native Alaskans killing Sea Otters for pelts really set me off the other day. You can't eat Otter pelts. They have an exemption from the Marine Mammal Protection Act

So much for the myth of the natives living in harmony with nature. The fact is you can't do that much damage with a stone ax.

Give the Native a rifle, an outboard motor, and a chainsaw and watch what happens. I have seen it in the Amazon, the Everglades, and the Sierras.

You are supposed to feel guilty for helping us do what they are still doing to each other in your old colonies. There are currently more slaves in Africa then anywhere else on the planet. (Including Saudi Arabia.)

Meanwhile, we are supposed to feel guilty for the genocide of the “Native Americans” or “First Peoples”. And all the while we should be ignoring the genocide they did to the current inhabitants of the continent when they showed up.

All this, even though they are proud of their history as roaming hunter gathers that never built anything permanent, and in early interviews of their elders, admitted that these things were already there, or even boasted of winning battles with existing populations, we are now supposed think they own them!

That is why they cannot afford to have things like Kennewick Man be examined. Or the pigmy graveyards in Ohio and Kentucky examined. Or the skeletons in the various mounds around the continent examined.

They cannot afford to have the fact that there was someone here before them become known. That would blow down their house of cards.

Makes you wonder whose guilt complex should be the greater doesn't it? 23 of my family died in the concentration camps but I don't hold the present generation of Germans guilty.
A crime is a crime and time doesn't alter that but to hold a people responsible for the actions of their forbears is madness, where do you stop!

I am not saying that the White Man didn't do some bad things in taking over the continent.
My complaint is the phony "holier then thou” attitude they are taking.

At the point we show backbone.

One of the worst things they did was bring diseases that they did not even comprehend until very late in the process.
