    This is what you claimed: "...leftists want to pretend that only the western genre fell victim to the habit, and gave audiences a particular misconception."

    Why would they pretend this?

    Seriously, Hollywood purposely made the Indians out to be the bad guys.

    I'm pretty much thinking that the racist White Guys were the bad guys that stole the Indians land and tried to exterminate a whole race of people!
    Many of those old Westerns were sympathetic to the Indians making the Indian agents and others the bad guy.

    Start with The Squaw Man (1914).

    No idea, but, this particular talking point about old westerns has been around my entire life.

    Yeah? I have never heard such a thing. Everyone knows that the entire Hollywood have been whitewashing movies of every genre. If anyone "pretends" otherwise, nobody is fooled.

    Difference between cows and sheep:

    Sheep chew grass to the roots and kill it.

    A certain percentage of people are fooled by propaganda every time.

    They didn't fool me because I've been told by older people how it actually was.

    Ofc I had already seen a bunch of westerns up until that point, so I was fooled up until the olders told me how it really was.

    Over 10 years old. I was fooled for several years by Hollywood!

    This area is steeped in cattle drive history.

    Apparently guno was fooled up until he saw something that prompted him to start this thread! LOL!

    Yes, I particularly like the Man Called Horse movies, and a few others that actually were factual, and used the American Indian perspective!

    In my opinion, America's natives are one of America's treasures. We never did enough, and we could still do a whole lot to help them advance!

    I am from Texas! And my Great Grandmother was a full blood Cherokee Indian!

    So, Indians were some of my forefathers!

    My American Indian blood is very important to me, and I am proud that it flows through my body!
