Given the history of the U.S. treatment of Indians, a horror story that keeps getting retold in the present, I think it's really weird that someone would devote so much energy to attempting to prove a particular incident of genocide didn't happen. What's the point, other than to attract attention to yourself and make white people feel better about themselves? Yuck.

Something I posted a short while back bears repeating here:
It's not just history... genocide(ethnocide?) is a current event.

<...> For what it's worth, I was listening to BBC the other evening and they were covering Malaria abatement in Africa. One of the things being discussed was the distribution of insecticide treated tents.
I considered ripping it to an Mp3 for posterity, but I didn't... figuring I'd find it on the BBC website.
Nope.
The story was there... but no mention of the tents.
Or the type of "insecticide"...

I WOULD suppose that it's not the 6-11 mosquito repellent that you'd normally buy at a supermarket or sporting goods store, and I'm sure it hasn't been tested on Americans or "white people" yet.
