Last year I read “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History” by S.C. Gwynne.” Fascinating book about about the US Army vs the Comanches. Also talked about the endless and often genocidal wars the Indians waged on each other and it was the same with the Aztecs in Mexico and the Incas in Peru. That’s why the oppressed Indian tribes in these places so hated these dominant tribes and helped the Europeans defeat them. The Woke say we need to teach children the truth about history. I totally agree. I’d love to see this book required reading in our high schools. It tells the truth without demonizing white people or casting Indians as saints who need to always consider themselves victims of the white devils. And Quanah Parker also had a white mother so if white people are devils that means this great Indian leader was half devil. Let’s teach history instead of racial hatred of white people which will only plunge us ever deeper into tribal warfare. Superb book though. Really fascinating history that I never knew.

@SkillTrill713 The problem is that we lack a common reality and can no longer communicate which means America is a failed state in rapid decline. It has already ceased to exist internally which is why it’s so rapidly unraveling externally. Once I was a Marine and a patriotic American but now I hate this place just as intensely as you do and feel the sooner it breaks up the better. No doubt the disastrous failure of the American experiment has already drastically altered the course of world history.

Omar Sharif was an Egyptian actor who played the lead role in the 1965 Classic movie Dr Zhivago. He didn’t look Russian but was white and easily accepted as a Russian doctor during the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Elizabeth Taylor was easily accepted as Cleopatra since she was white as was the original Cleopatra who was Macedonian Greek. A black Cleopatra though is as absurd as it would have been to cast Dr Zhivago as a black Russian doctor during the Russian Revolution. That would have simply ruined the movie.
