It started with Bartolomé de las Casas. José de Acosta discredited it because Indians didn't practice circumcision, and (remember, this is 16th-century Christianity) Indians were too generous and self-sacrificing to be Jews. (Yes, the guy who dedicated his life to a Jew who supposedly died for everyone's sins says Jews are cowards. Again, Christian antisemitism makes no sense.) Eventually, it was mostly Europeans who had never visited America who believed it.<br /><br />On the other end of the equation, Göbbels declared the Sioux to be Aryan. Didn't work so well. Tell Crazy Horse "How would you like to be part of the master race? Kill anyone that isn't just like you?" and he'd likely start with you.<br /><br />And then there are people like Erich von Däniken and Thor Heyerdahl.<br /><br />As I said, Europeans have "special" ideas about Indians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-64800863228349353502011-08-03T12:35:28.803-07:002011-08-03T12:35:28.803-07:00I, uh, am failing to see the connection.I, uh, am failing to see the connection.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902970183089919383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-29661813441151613952011-08-03T09:51:03.548-07:002011-08-03T09:51:03.548-07:00Germany?

When you...Wow, talk about an irrelevent comparison. When you have a boat load of various rabid White Supremacist publications/networks within the U.S. disparaging Blacks as the least most civilized in the modern civilized world. In fact, Blacks make up higher populations in the White man's "Urban" areas as opposed to that of Native population, which is something like less 3%. I fail to see how Natives are the fault of "Urban decline".<br /><br /><br />Besides, Natives in Germany is almost non-existent. They do, however are dealing with a rapidly growing Muslim population there.Shadow Wolfnoreply@blogger.com
