Victims All 0
At the Bangor Daily News, a little paper with big writers, Alex Stead excoriates white racists’ “victimhood.” A snippet:
Chiksika, the elder brother of Tecumseh, said of white people, “The whole white race is a monster who is always hungry and what he eats is land.” He, of course, said this in response to what he and his tribe had seen of European settlers’ behaviors. Chiksika said to his brother, “When a white man kills an Indian in a fair fight it is called honorable, but when an Indian kills a white man in a fair fight it is called murder. When a white army battles Indians and wins it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre and bigger armies are raised.” Whites have long been known for this tendency.
Read the rest and, the next time you hear a white folk whining about “those people,” have your grains of salt ready.
