The west is a composite of the Judeo-Christian religious tradition and Greco-Roman culture.

You can’t overlook the Enlightenment

Of course not.

Keep up the good work on your scholarly endeavors!

I recently took a video class on ancient civilizations of North America, so I got a little taste of what you are studying. Suffice it to say, my mind was blown, because I knew hardly anything about Cohokia, Poverty Point, and the Missiissippian civilization.

Thanks. Yeah, our education in true American history is really lacking. For 45 years of my life I lived within the sphere of influence of the Cahokians.... yet other than the mounds left behind, we were never taught about this amazing civilization in school. I educated myself as a kid about them, but it wasn't touched upon in formal education.

Question: Have you ever heard anything about the residential schools?

NIce work taking it upon yourself to learn about the Cohokians and Mississipians.

I do not have a clue what you mean by residential schools. Lay it on me.

No shame... I never heard of them either growing up. Starting in 1850 the U.S. govt., and the Canadian govt., started rounding up native kids -- forcefully in many cases -- and sending them to boarding schools, often run by Catholics and other Xtian factions. They were transported sometimes 100s of miles from their families. They were forbidden to speak their native languages, to practice their native faiths, to wear their traditional clothing or hair styles. Thousands of children died in these schools of abuse, neglect, suicide. Thousands more were raped and murdered. Entire cultures were wiped out. There are elders in our own community here who were forced to attend these schools (the last ones closed up in Canada in 1990. 1980s in the U.S.) Their memories are heartbreaking. I guess the best analogy that would resonate with modern American citizens would be for American kids to be kidnapped by some Muslim group, transported to a foreign area hundreds of miles from their homeland and family, stripped of their clothing and forced to wear Muslim garb, punished for speaking English while being forced to learn Arabic, forced to learn the new religion and manners of their captors....

Holy smoke, a black stain on this nation's history.

This country has really never been good at practicing introspection concerning our sins, and if we can have a National Holocaust Museum, there certainly should be a National Museum/Memorial bearing witness to our genocide of native peoples.

Of course not.

no such thing as Judeo-Christian that is a goyim construct


There’s No Such Thing As Judeo-Christian Values

The label Judeo-Christian tends to assume, at the expense of Judaism, that Christians and Jews believe essentially the same things.

Jews are prohibited from marrying Christians, setting foot inside a Christian church We reject the Christian idea of christian salvation, we abhor Christian divine teachings on every subject, and we are repulsed and outraged by incessant attempts by Christian missionaries to bring us into their fold.

Judeo-Christian is a term used by Protestant Christians who either want to deny their anti-Jewish feelings or to enlist Jewish support for a philosophically or religiously questionable enterprise in public policy. Funny how I never hear a Jews use this word, only the christians

American Indian Boarding Schools Haunt Many : NPR

American Indian Boarding Schools Haunt Many The U.S. government operated 100 boarding schools for American Indians on and off reservations. One expert says the schools were part of a strategy to ...


https://www.npr.org/templates/story/...oryId=16516865

A report in the late 1880s defended the early days of the schools. In the 1920s, a report concluded that children at federal boarding schools were malnourished, overworked, harshly punished and poorly educated. And in 1969, a report declared Indian education to be a national tragedy.

The idea behind the Indian boarding schools was "Kill the Indian, save the man".. They were designed to destroy any remnant of the culture of the Native Americans and resistance was met with cruelty.

guno is wrong about the term Judeo-Christian. He is the far gone example on the other end of the spectrum when it comes to religion.

I don't think he's wrong.. Christians have discriminated against Jews (or worse) throughout most of history..

[iolo]

'Judeo-Christian' is a meaningless term, and those who use it are manifestly neither - they are Mammon-worshippers supporting racist colonialism mostly.
