"<br /><br />Ok.... Where do I start? My tribe is and has always been in the state of Connecticut. ANYONE who knows any native tribal history, or colonialism knows that tribes held no concept of land ownership. Therefore mr Fisher knows next to nothing about American history. <br /><br />I say that because often people forget that the very way "America" was founded was through genocide, and off the labor efforts of african and native slaves as well as chineese indentured servants.<br /><br />Individuals like Bryan Fisher are also a disgrace to the republican party, and a major problem as to why the party continues to have image problems when it comes to peoples ongoing perception that its history is stemmed in racism. It actually isn't. <br /><br />I also want to point out that folks who claim to be of the "Christian right" are actually based in a continuous religious belief of puritism. One master race. They are historically responsible for the genocide against native American tribes. <br /><br />I'm glad to see so many supporters come out against my Fishers comments. It shows that "America" may be growing and seeing through a very old and very dangerous ideology. <br /><br />-Michael Kickingbear<br />Mashantucket Pequot Tribal NationMichael kickingbearhttp://www.mikejohnsonproductions.tvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-89744240849650576792011-02-12T13:59:59.466-08:002011-02-12T13:59:59.466-08:00For more criticism of Fischer's column, see:

Are we to assume that the high frequency of Irish twins in America in the 19th century makes them immoral by Lakota standards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
