America is cruel. If you got down to think about it, we never found America, Christopher Columbus might have sailed the ocean blue, but he didn’t find it. it was already found, and home to almost 8 million indians. The people who “found” America, didn’t actually “find” it, they were thieves. Thieves to 8 million Indians who lost their lives trying to fight for the land they already owned. And white men thought it was their duty to destroy hopes and dreams of millions of Indians. “Americans” have done nothing but set them up for failure. One of our very own presidents of the United States set executions for 40 men to be hung, days after signing the emancipation proclamation. What a shame. Our favorite, our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Sioux and Lakota still live in our nation, the nation we stripped them of, and they still fight for their land back. All they want is for their black hills back. And what do we do, we stay selfish and tell them no, time after time. Let them be free, as we think we are. Let them have their land back, we took it anyway. “Americans” are thieves. And we didn’t even realize it. http://flip.it/Y20F5
