In recent years we've seen a plague on American society. And unlike this faux pandemic, this is a plague called the "Cancel Culture", with a huge demand America rename just about everything in order to appease....welll... just about everyone, just so long as they're not white, straight, conservatives with traditional values, especially males, all whom may be either Christians or Jews. They don't count!
The Cleveland Indians are now the Cleveland Guardians, and the Atlanta Braves are discussing changing their name. Writers go on the describe the difficulties with all this renaming clabber, such as how the term Indian came into being and the new world, how there's the effort to have preferred terms such as “Native American”, and the resulting logical issues: Such as, if someone was born in England are they "native English" or "native Mexican", or "Native Chinese", etc.? In Canada it's "First Nations", but these tribes were never united into a nation, anywhere in North or South America, and they happily butchered each other considering themselves to be "the people" and everyone else, not people.
There's a reason the Tower of Babel became the foundation for the
word "babble", and that's what I think of all this. Does anyone really believe
any tribe that conquered any other tribe would have allowed this kind
of coprolite to be espoused? The fact is these are conquered peoples and they need to get over it and be glad they were conquered by Americans, because it's unlikely this would have been tolerated elsewhere. They wouldn't have been spared, they wouldn't be living on reservations, and they wouldn't have had any rights at all.
All this divisional clabber is just another leftist ploy to de-legitimize the European conquest of much of the world, presented as if this was done by "bad" people, AKA, white people. In reality, no matter how bad they may have been, and in some cases very bad, in the vast majority of cases they were better than those they replaced, and the Aztec "civilization", and the others conquered by Spain are an excellent example.
Now if you wish to criticize them for being bad Christians, well, you would have a valid argument there. The Frankish kings and all the other European Kings were great churchmen, but they were lousy Christians, and the American settlers practices would certainly have to be categorized as un-Christian. But that's not the argument is it?
The foundational argument is they were bad people, but the fact is they were playing by the same rules everyone else in the world was playing by, but they were just better at it than the rest. But that's not the accepted narrative, so now all they did and accomplished must be diminished until it's destroyed with multiculturalism, in order to impose globalism in the form of global governance predicated on socialist tyranny, and we know how disastrous that will be. Between the leftist monsters of the 20th century, who murdered over 100 million people, and the environmental activists, a scion of leftism, they've easily murdered over another 100 million people and that's most likely a conservative number. That's history and that history is incontestable.
Definition leads to clarity and clarity leads to understanding, and all these writers have failed that test, because they fail to see this is a never ending story, as eventually the Cancel Culture cancels the Cancel Culture, and real history is lost in the melee to historical clabber such as is presented by Nikole Hannah-Jones and Howard Zinn.
