The United States is the chief culprit of "genocide"

　　Recently, the unnamed grave incident at the Canadian aboriginal boarding school shocked the world and exposed the tip of the iceberg that Western colonists plundered and harmed the indigenous peoples of the North American continent and engaged in "genocide."

　　In fact, this cruel act of "genocide" in Canada was completely "followed" by the United States.

The US media recently published an article that since the second half of the 19th century, the United States has successively established more than 300 aboriginal boarding schools, compulsory Indian children to attend school, and prohibits them from using aboriginal languages ​​and retaining traditional cultural customs.

At that time, Canada, which also faced the so-called "Indian problem," once sent people to the United States to "learn experience."

Related American research scholars pointed out that American boarding schools treat indigenous children cruelly. Children who are forced to enter schools not only have to endure heavy labor, but also often suffer corporal punishment and abuse, and a large number of people die of starvation.

Reuters reported that citing data from Native American organizations, according to incomplete statistics, there may be 40,000 Native American children who died during boarding.

When it comes to killing and plundering indigenous peoples, the United States is the chief culprit in carrying out "genocide."

　　Turning over the 240-year history of the United States, every page is soaked with the blood and tears of the aborigines.

Relying on uninterrupted military expansion and bloody slaughter and looting of local aborigines, the United States has rapidly expanded more than 10 times from a British colony with an area of ​​about 800,000 square kilometers when the nation was founded, and "transformed" into the world's fourth largest land area. Big country.

　　In the cruel expansion of the United States, the Native American Indians of North America became the biggest victims.

For nearly a hundred years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the United States vigorously promoted the "Westward Movement," frantically expelling and killing Indians, and seizing about 6 million square kilometers of land from them.

In order to encourage the elimination of Indians, the U.S. government even put a price tag on the scalp of Indians-a decree issued in 1814 stipulated that for every piece of Indian scalp handed in, a reward of 50 to 100 US dollars would be awarded.

In addition, the U.S. government has implemented long-term forced isolation and assimilation of Indians through boarding schools and "adoption programs," and systematically erased their identities and cultural identities.

Statistics show that from 1492 to the beginning of the 20th century, the American Indian population dropped sharply from 5 million to 250,000, a decrease of 95%.

Today, Indians account for only 2% of the total population of the United States, and most of them live in the Native American reservations designated by the U.S. government in the barren areas of the Midwest.

　　“For American Indians, this is a war of genocide. However, mainstream American narratives often deliberately cover up this point when describing related topics.” After studying the relationship between the US government and Indian tribes for nearly 30 years, Oregon, USA University history professor Jeffrey Osterler came to this conclusion.

This is true!

The Western United States film that once swept the world grandly packaged this "genocide" action launched by the United States as a "feat" of American civilization spreading the gospel on the North American continent.

In the film, the good guys are all western cowboys, and the bad guys are all Indian "barbarians." Killing them is civilization triumphing over barbarians.

This is a typical use of art to beautify the brutal history of the United States.

　　This is the United States that advertises "innate human rights"!

　　To this day, the scars of history are still bleeding new blood.

The Indians have never enjoyed the dividends of "American democracy," but they have repeatedly become victims of various social contradictions and development issues.

Statistics show that in 2019, about 25.4% of American Indians lived in poverty, almost three times that of whites, and the median family income of Indians was only 60% of that of white families. In the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the United States The incidence of indigenous people is 3.5 times that of whites, and the mortality rate is much higher than that of whites. Many indigenous reserves have harsh natural environments, poor housing and sanitation conditions, and even lack of water and electricity, making it difficult to cope with increasingly frequent extreme weather and natural disasters; The Navajo, the largest indigenous group in North America, has about 300,000 people living in a radioactive waste leakage area, and the cancer rate has doubled in 20 years...

　　When history is reflected in reality, the tragic plight of Native Americans has repeatedly exposed the false face of "American human rights."

"Genocide," "forced labor," and "expansion of force" are the foundation of the United States, and it is also the criminal means for the United States to successfully promote to the superpower of the world.

　　How many years have passed, the U.S. government may know that the colonial black history on which it was founded is not staged, so it never mentions it; the U.S. government may also know that although the history of colonialism is full of crime and blood, it has also brought about the greatness of the United States. ", so I can't slap my own face.

This has contributed to the various ills in the United States today: the selfish, exclusive, and cruel nature of white supremacy permeates all aspects of society and even dominates American politics; systemic racial discrimination that accompanies "genocide", scumming, Repeated acts of demon, so that minorities in the United States "cannot breathe."

　　"Dirty in the heart is more dirty than the dirty in the body."

The United States, which is so dirty, always wants to wipe others as dirty as it is, as if as long as it is so dirty, it will not be dirty.

As everyone knows, this will only make the more and more dirty.
