Uninspired write-up on Crazy Horse, with many references to “the whites, the whites, the whites.”
The whites did this, the whites did that, the whites gave the natives smallpox, the whites killed the buffalo.
The word spell of the whites. Here’s the deal. Not once does McMurtry call the natives RED, what gives? It’s because McMurtry is part of the Endowment cult of word spells. Redefining terms for the fallen people.
I am a white man. Yet my skin is red and splotchy, a ruddy color at best. If I were to wear a white shirt, my splotchy ruddiness would be highlighted, it would not match the whiteness of the shirt. I look great in a white shirt, I’m not hating my white skin, I’m tired of color descriptors that do not exist in reality.
Popular culture reference follows: It brings to mind the STNG episode, when Captain Piccard is captured and told to proclaim there are five lights when there are only four. Psychological torture by the Endowment enriched Chaos cult- The synagogue of Satan.
These people use the term white over and over, they never use the term red or brown or even so-called black in this book. Just white. This is a give away. The whites have got to go.
I’m reading an excellent account of Captain Cook’s navigation of the Southern Oceans. The author never uses a term of color to identify the natives, and never uses the term “white” to identify the Limey English, instead he uses the much more acceptable phrase, “our people”. The book was written in 1788.
“Our people shot the natives with musket ball when approaching the ship.”
Facts people. Your word spells have got to go.
Was General Custer Irish, English, Spanish, European? I can tell you right now, HE CERTAINLY WASN’T WHITE. Probably RED RED RED.
Finally, the book does have a great bibliography. I’m afraid to explore the topic any further, as I know most of the material was created by the Synagogue of Satan to fool the morons. FAKE HISTORY.
