The Ultimate Irony of the 'Native American Elder'

[volsrock]

What did happen was that Talking Bull (Nathan Phillips), a professional agitator and American Indian separatist, was given a forum in which to spew nonsensical ideas. Here’s a prime example: “I heard them [the students] saying ‘build the wall, build that wall,’” he said,” as Vibe reported. “This is indigenous land. We’re not supposed to have walls here. Before anyone came here there were no walls….”

(Actually, the Indians built plenty of walls, as old ruins attest.)

But something occurs to me here: If the Indians had effective border security, perhaps they wouldn’t have been overrun and conquered.

So, what’s the message? “We lost the continent…and we can show you how to lose it, too!”?

Talking Bull followed up his anti-wall blather by adding that American Indians “never even had prisons,” either.

Well, most of them also didn’t have the wheel, a written language or anything beyond stone tools. What’s the point?

Mine is this: We all could conceivably wax romantic about our primitive ancestors’ days. Yet it’s silly. I don’t want to live as my savage European forebears did in, let’s say, 500 B.C. any more than Talking Bull desires to live as American Indians did in 1500 A.D. Typical of activists, Talking Bull is all talk.

Slavery was common among the “Noble Indigenous Natives”!


People forget that America always had a wall. It was a geographic wall called the Atlantic Ocean. The only way to pass through that wall was on a ship. Your destination was a screening process to make the passage complete.

Our indigenous people’s were busy killing each other [in some pretty horrific ways if you believe the historians] long before the white settlers got to the continent. Not that the settlers were angels. But this notion of the ‘noble savage’ is pure mythology.

There is no ‘people’, white, black, Hispanic, Asian/whatever that are exempt from ancestral guilt. The whole idea of ‘ancestral guilt’ is utter nonsense. The black slave trade *would have been impossible* without black slave traders on the African continent, for example.

According to his service records, Big Chief Spreading Bull was an electrician who never served outside CONUS, BTW.

He is just some old low educated guy who got caught up in the high tech world of SJW's. The black Israelites and a Brazillian bot account are the ones who put this thing on blast. I doubt Dances With Nancy had any idea this was about to happen. He is just an unwitting fool like all who believed the story at first. Those who still try to perpetuate hate on these high school kids now however are just partisan dyed in the wool cultist and narcissists who refuse to admit they were wrong about something.

Not to desperate DEMOCRATS, lol.

For a few overheated hours on Saturday, a group of boys from a Catholic high school in Kentucky became the most hated figures in America.

Television anchors denounced them as bigots. Journalists with Harvard degrees called them “privileged.” Commentators scolded them as bad Christians. Celebrities suggested they should be hunted down and punched in the face. Some called for them to be killed.

The boys stood accused of mocking an elderly self-professed Vietnam veteran, a Native American man, and doing it in shadow of the Lincoln Memorial. The story had no inherent news significance. It didn’t mobilize troops or move markets or reopen the government. But as a symbolic event, it’s hard to remember a moment more galvanizing in Washington.

As they read their Twitter feeds, the leaders of the DEMOCRAT Party were agreement: These monsters, these thugs from a backward province, were living examples of all that is rotten and immoral about America. That was the liberal consensus on Saturday.

Then, suddenly, the story exploded. Full footage of the event emerged, and it turns out the boys never attacked anyone.

In fact, they stood in place as others approached and harassed them. People did indeed scream racial epithets, but it wasn’t the kids from Kentucky.

The unedited video does not confirm what they were telling you on Saturday. Just the opposite. The story was a lie. Who knows what would have happened to the boys from Covington Catholic High School if that video had never been posted to the Internet?

From brunch tables across Washington, reporters rushed to delete their outraged tweets. Some of them even apologized for passing rash judgment, and good for them.

But amazingly, many others pretended nothing had happened. They didn’t acknowledge the new video. They kept up their original attacks. Being "woke" means never having to say you're sorry.
