RE: Nancy Ward And Lydia Russell Bean; Kindred Spirits Working For Peace
Of course I was familiar with it, still finding evidence of the Creek
And Cherokee encampments. Pottery shards, flint chips and
Arrowheads can still be found to this day. I am ashamed
Of my White ancestry when I read about these things.
The White European colonial mindset was the real
Culprit, and continued to decimate every native
Culture that was encountered, from Africa to
Australia, from Canada to Mexico and
Beyond. It need not have been so,
But it was. Breaks my heart.

Howdy sir jerrytsuseer! Very true, the policy of the whites was always a disaster for anyone on the land before them. It's mortifying, I agree.
Ashamed of what my white ancestors did, and what some
Continue to do today. Contrarywise, there are many
Things being done in the world at large today by
NON whites, very similar to what was done by
My ancestors. Did they learn that behavior
From my ancestors? Oh god I hope not.
Or, is it simply a part of our human
Nature to assume our own
Superiority and rightness
To the exclusion of
Others? Oh god!
I hope not
I hope not either sir jerrytsuseer! I think generally the world understands more of these truths and is much improved but yes, way too much of it still wants to kill anyone who believes differently.
That is so very true, and so very unfortunate.
