- Thing is, we have these truly false conceptions of reality, and not until recently, has race ever been a factor, at least not so far in as legitimate grievances are concerned. Now, sadly, race has become an excuse and an entitlement, whereby at no other time in human history was race allowed to be perceived in such a way. The truth is, humans have always operated through a power structure, and only recently was it convenient for the loser to cry about race without admitting inferiority. Does a second place winner get to receive a 1st place trophy in any pursuit in life they didn’t win? And would a claim of race even be considered legitimate without that 2nd place opponent admitting it was something outside of him/herself, that was the reason for the loss that wasn’t a loss, but rather just an unfair game or outcome to begin with? The universe doesn’t care. 2nd is always the first loser. Even on an individual level, there is ALWAYS someone, better at some aspect, of some thing, “at”, life. And even if you could claim race without admitting your own inferiority, how would that serve you or anyone of your said race? That’s a self full-filling prophesy of a lifetime, or an eternity even, of losing. Maybe in some regard it’s better to be dead than to make excuses for your failures, especially if that’s where you’re going to throw in the towel and, not only gives up, but also let your excuse for failure be the excuse for failure of you’re entire, “race”. It’s dumb. There are no reparations for history, there’s just moving forward. There’s becoming a winner at the individual level, and allowing all individuals the right to do the same without being held to the standard that each group gets an excuse for perpetual failure so to absolve them all of the divine responsibility of ever having to try at all in the first place. It’s an absolute crime against humanity to subject any individual, created by God, and connected individually to God, to be subjected to another individual’s affinity for an entire group’s excuse. Go live the best you can now. And if you see something that will make all people losers, then say something, do something!! History is important to learn from, and human nature is immutable in my estimation, at least at the level of species. But goodness all starts with the Man in the Mirror. PS, this is also why I don’t believe in taxation as anything more than slavery itself.

Damn but I miss Norm. We need more people these days that have the balls to say what needs said.
Odds are the good guys lost
Usually history is written by the victors, but there are some notable exceptions to this, the best example in American history is the CSA.
Might makes right.
Here in Mexico we are the children of 2 conquerors; The Aztecs who were the most powerful empire in the entire continent at the time and The Spanish Empire. Both empires clashed. One lost.
Then after independence, The Mexican Empire Clashed against The American Empire, they fought above the bones of american natives that they themselves were already fighting before both great civilizations clashed. Again, one lost.
That's history, and pseudo-intellectuals trying to paint a narrative of good vs evil do a disservice of it.
And we Anglo Americans come from Celtic lands conquered by Anglo Saxons, before being conquered by Normans. Everyone has a right to expand. Everyone has a right to resist being encroached upon. Well said friend.
And in Mexico, the clash of those two culture lead to the creation of a beautiful new culture...that's what I admire about Mexico: it embraces both cultures/ empires just as depicted in the figures of the Aztec warrior and conquistador on the presidential palace!
@@therovingrobin5938 Yes and one of the benefits of the mixing of races is that none of us can fall into "white guilt" bullshit or any of that, we are both white and native. European and American. This is our legacy and gives us an objective view of the past.

@@SiouxW4rrior3856 Yes, and the North American tribes were enslaving, murdering, raping and sometimes eating each other for thousands of years before Europeans ever even wondered if there was a landmass to the west.

Yep. 100%
Not all... Just the successful ones. It's mother nature's ballgame and you have to adapt and compete just to keep your head above water.
Does it have to be that way ? why are we are still around then shouldn't be all dead ?
@@bluedragontoybash2463 Have to? for the time being yes. Capitalism, politics, and other systems that integrate the competition help embed and redistribute the animosity (as opposed to wars/rebellions).
No, we shouldn't be dead since most forms of it aren't seeking absolute annihilation. Competition, aggression, status dispute's are part of essentially all social species, millions of years old, and help establish equilibrium. They just weren't evolved for species of this magnitude, with this much leverage/resources at play. It can make aspects of society very 1-dimensional without the ability to reset.

On the Trail of Tears, Cherokees took about 4000-5000 slaves with them. Nobody ever talks about Native Americans owning slaves, but they did.
And that they didn't free them until a year after the confederacy did.
They also were told 3 years ahead of time that they would be getting moved but never prepared. That was before Andrew Jackson even became President but he is always the popular one to blame.
@@dillonhunt1720 Why were they moved?
@@koikat3708 Friction with white settlers. As more and more moved in there was occasional violence. When gold was discovered under the Cherokee's feet it was pretty much over as the government knew no matter what they did whites were going to swarm the territory leading to a massacre. I won't sugar coat the decision that was clearly in the white settler's favor but it was better than doing nothing or naively thinking they could stop the gold rush any more than Great Britain thought they could stop settlers crossing into Ohio even without the promise of gold decades before.
I lived in that part of Georgia for a few years and there are quite a few historical markers of Indian massacres of white settlers. If the government didn't do something the settlers surely would have done something much worse.
@@koikat3708Indian culture and values were incompatible with white one...stealing horses for example, would get you a position as chief in Indian society, yet it got you hanged in white society...
I think most people just assume that Indians had been riding horses for ages. The Europeans introduced them to horses. An Indian on a horse with a gun was already a huge leap from their traditional culture into the world of the Europeans.
And too late of a leap too.
The did not have horses at all? Didnt they get horses from the Spain and Portugal when Colombo discovered the continent couple of hundred of years before the action in this movie?
@@mikeszz5 my god man. Read a book.
There were no horses in the Americas until the Spanish showed up.
Columbus never visited north america
Brutal, but true. The first Sioux didn't even arrive in the Black Hlls until 1776. It was theirs for only a century, yet they claim it is their 'sacred land" that has always been theirs. History does not agree. Was what happened to the Sioux right and just? No. But neither was what the Sioux did to the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Pawnee and the other tribes.
Well said.
I am from the Pawnee natives, my ancestors fought multiple tribes to keep their land, and even aided the US government in removing these other tribes.
I mean enough the americans also call the US their sacred land now...

I've been to Little Bighorn and stood on the same hill that Custer and many of his men died on, and in that moment it gave me a perfect understanding of why the battle ended with he and his entire regiment massacred. The area is nothing but an endless sea of humps, small hills that can easily hide forces behind them, which is what happened. Custer believed that he was facing a numerically inferior force when in fact he was the one outnumbered by a factor of over 3 to 1. Almost from the beginning, the outcome of the battle was never in doubt.
The entire 7th cavalry wasn't massacred. Only the men with Custer. The units under Major Reno and Captain Benteen survived. The 7th would show up again to do the Wounded Knee massacre.
6 to 1 or even more
I still remember my father's words when we also visited the Little Bighorn. And my father also graduated from West Point, in 1951, as Custer. He said, "He deserved what he got!!!".
He was reckless. Left his Gatling guns behind cause he thought they slowed him down. The Gatlings were a force multiplier that could have changed things
@@captainkyperplayz1162 My dad told us at West Point they tell cadets that the Little Bighorn is a good example of what not to do.

2: You use it for something
3: You can defend it.
If you do not have those three things, it is yours in name only.

Does "defending " also constitute lies and betrayal? How about honoring the treaties?
As far as I am concerned, and because no peace treaty was never reached, we are still at a political war against Europeans.

As a Native American this is so true lol. We were fighting each other for land and power. Ain't nothing spiritual about that.
Something no one realizes about the Indians is just how incredibly difficult it is to ride a horse bareback.
Bareback costs extra. I learned that in Las Vegas.
Stirrups changed human history, funny to see guns a bareback
Not an American, but can anyone tell me why the Indians refuse to adapt to stirrups that the white men had?
@@riverman6462 I think they wanted to be "one with the horse," or something like that.
@@annep.1905 It is still a bad idea. Steppe nomads were more "one with the horse" than anyone in history and they invented the stirrup. It just gives you a lot more stability and that makes you more effective.
I don't want to speculate in bad faith but it seems to me such rigid thinking and unwillingness to adapt was exactly the reason the Natives lost so often.
And the Mandan joined the USA when Lewis and Clark came through, flew the American flag, had land office platted land, and have more wealth than other tribes and ride their combines farming grain going on 100 plus years( working up to the combine as technology came) They were militarily powerful and allied with the US and nobody hears about them
Mandan, huge part of the Lewis/clark success & the western expansion of the US
You're correct. Who are or were the Mandan (besides helpers of Lewis and Clark), and do they still exist today? From what you say, it sounds like they chose to adopt ways that would allow them to keep their land.
Because unfortunately some people are just determined to make the USA out to be wholly Evil.
The Mandan were farmers, not hunter gatherers/ nomads. They were militarily the most powerful tribe in the northern plains, and by some measures technologically ahead of their neighbors. They had the beginnings of metal smelting. They recognized the superiority of the weapons and tools of Lewis and Clark s expedition and more or less said " count me in!" And adopted any technical improvements they saw. They were already good farmers, and had a strong social order, so they when seeing a better way to farm picked it up. The guy riding a combine on a 2000 acre wheat farm in North Dakota with black hair is odds on a Mandan. And probably still doesn't like the Sioux very much.

It the movie, "Dancing with Wolves", it makes the Pawnee the bad guys bullying the Lakotas. But in reality, the Pawnee where the smaller tribe, constantly harassed by the stronger Lakotas. In 1873, the Sioux of Lakota tribe attacked the Pawnees at what became known as "Massacre creek". The Sioux raped, tortured, killed, and mutilated over 150 Pawnee women children, and old folk.

It gets even more ironic when you consider both the natives and the Indo-Europeans share ancestry from the Ancient North Eurasians. This is kinda like a weird cultural family reunion where they're both accussing eachother of being violent war cultures. We both migrated from Siberia as violent warbands conquering and subjugating others. They (natives, Q haplogroup) went east, we (Indo-Europeans, R1 haplogroup) went west. We're fairly similiar, and the lands we now settle belonged to unique cultures who we replaced. Also, native tribes that are closer to the north are from later migrations, so they admixed with east asians and mongolics (thus why they have less prescence of the Q Y-DNA haplogroup than lower parts of the americas) before invading the americas that had direct ANE/ANS descent. So, yeah, the natives were kinda the direct opposite of a peaceful society; They had a violent warrior caste and raiding style of warfare that is pretty reminiscent of the Indo-European Kóryos tradition, which I personally speculate is as old as the ANE.
Native Americans have pretty much the most white washed history in the world or at least of how is it taught here in Europe. We were taught already in Kindergarten of how the white man came to the Americas. Took their land and throwed them into reservations who tended to be the most baren land.
What is of course certainly true.
But no mention of the Native Americans fighting each other in brutal tribal warfare taking each others land, no mention that every healthy adult male was considered a warrior, basically being the most militarized society that ever existed, no mention that they practiced slavery, no mention of mutilating their defeated enemies corpses and decorate their homes and belts with their body parts to impress the ladies (basically wearing a scalp around your belt was equal to a military medal, it was to show of your capability as a warrior) no mention that they killed almost every single person in a defeated tribe, small children, men, the elderly except the non-pregnant young women (maybe the 8-12 year old children too were spared if they were lucky to be adopted into the tribe) and kept them as sex slaves, no mention of ritually torturing prisoners to death for hours or even days and in some tribes even ritual cannibalism was practiced.
You should watch "How Hollywood stereotyped the Native Americans" on UA-cam. Basically it's a video of how Hollywood negatively "stereotyped" the Native Americans in old Western movies. Of how the movies showed the Native Americans attacked settler caravens, attacked settlements and kidnapped people, executed people by burning the on the stake, while footage shows US Soldiers and Native Americans fighting inside a fort one of the commentars even said "they talk about (the moves) indian ferocity, they talk about Apache atrocities, historically it was quite the opposite, it was the Native Americans wo where overwhelmed by white population and settlement" So what does this mean? Apache didn't execute prisoners of war, scalped them and left their corpses to rot because they lost in the end? Did the Holocaust not happen because the Germans lost?
Certainly those old western movies are quite biased on the view of the main characters who were white. But those this make it untrue? They did all this things mentioned in the movies. In fact they are probably depicted as more tame than it actualy was, if they would portray uncensored Native American warfare with of how they cut peoples, ears, nose, lips and eyelids of and buried them head deep to die by exposure or how they cut small parts of someones arm of, to cauterize the wound only to cut of another piece and than repeat the process, it would not even allowed to be aired at that time. Of how those movies are racist because they portray only the bad side of the Native Americans?
Was torture and genocidal war all that Native American culture had to offer? Certainly not.
But is it racist to present day Norwegians to portray Vikings as raiders and slave traders? Because that is what they did!
I actually understand why the Native Americans protest those movies. Because they want to keep the current day view of Native Americans being the poor victims of European Imperialism.
As a very small minority in the US they basically have no economical or political weight. Heavily relying on Native Americans Sympathizers helping them to ensure that their own interests are heard.
To keep the the legend of the "Noble Savage" alive. Because if the view changes from "innocent victim" to "the Native Americans were as worse as the European Colonizers" could disillusion their Sympathizers and lose their already very limited political voice.
It's still a shame though what happenend to the Native Americans in the end. A modern, independent Native American state were they kept their interesting culture and traditions but left their warlike nature behind would be a lovely place to go as a tourist. Like a post WW2 Japan.
Very interesting. So which native americans would be considered the ones who came here first? I'm guessing the ones from South America generally?
@@EnlightenedBro105 Correct. The more southern american natives like the Mayans and Incans are mostly descendents from the first migrations east (there's many thousands of years and several ancestor cultures between them), making them the true natives of that land as far as I'm aware. The more northern parts of the americas are from later migratory warbands. Though, it's worth noting even those first peoples conquered eachother and made empires, as you'd expect from cultures with emphasis on warriors. Prehistory and early history is pretty fascinating.

So basically, wrongs were done on both sides. And we need to stop treating history like a fairytale in which one side was all good and the other all bad.

Any part of the earth belongs to whoever is standing on it at any given time. If you get pushed off, guess what, it's not yours anymore. That's why, if you're in possession of valuable land, you'd better be on the cutting edge all the time. If you aren't, someone who is, will take it away from you. It's not even a question of if.

It is brutal but true. Look at the Comanches, they ruled the plains. It was the same all over the continent
They even would raid American, Mexican, and other Native settlements outside their territory just to set “an example” for foreigners. Anyone who was lucky to have survived was often captured and enslaved by the Comanche.

They headed south. It was after they discovered horses that they became masters of the saddle and dominated the entire south west area. Other tribes feared them.

Did tribes fight each other? Sure. Was it on the same level as the Europeans during the 100 years war? Nope. When tribes fought each other it was more like a street fight between gangs with wooden clubs. We didn't see wars of attrition and fields littered with dead bodies until Europeans arrived. As for slavery, there were some "upper elites" within 5 tribes in the Southeast (out of 600 tribes spread across the country) who engaged in chattel slavery because they were assimilating into European value systems and were intermarried with Wh1tes, so you can take a guess as to who introduced this system of slavery to those particular tribes.

Studi also killed and scalped Kostner's guide into Indian country early in the film. In the film, the Lakota later had to go to war against them in total self-defense with Studi going down last in the final battle. In fact, the Pawnee were allies of the US and the 7th Cavalry and they were terrified of the Lakota Sioux who brutally attacked them on numerous occasions to force them off prime hunting grounds in the Dakotas and in Nebraska.
Costner... :)
LOL! Costner. I stand corrected. Must be the German in me.@@davidweston4077
Theres a scene in "custer of the west" between custer and dull knife that's very similar:
"Gen. George Armstrong Custer: I'll make it very simple for you. The fact that we seem to be pushing you clear off the earth is not my responsibility. The problem is precisely the same as when you Cheyenne decided to take another tribe's hunting ground. You didn't ask them about their rights. You didn't care if they had been there a thousand years. You just had more men and more horses. You destroyed them in battle. You took what you wanted, and right or wrong, for better or worse, that is the way things seem to get done. That's history. I'm talking about history. You are a militarily defeated people. You are paying the price for being backward. And whatever my personal feelings, and I don't say I have, there's nothing I can do to change all this. Do you understand?
Chief Dull Knife: I understand."
Custer was actually a terrible person though
Exactly. Very important dialog! And so true. No one said it’s nice. Doesn’t have to be. It’s the cold, hard, reality. We can strive for better, but at the end of the day, it always returns to more of the same as things get scarce, or feel that way.
@snowdroog1 So was hitler. But if hitler states that 2+2=4 is he wrong by virtue of his name? Stop being foolish.
@@stevenrubisch629 friend, I didn't say the conclusion was wrong. What you even posting for?
@snowdroog1 we’ve heard that many people are/were terrible. We’ve also learned that all it takes is to repeat something over and over until even lies become true. What if all the, “terrible”, people of history are actually the good people? What if we’ve all been lied to?
Man that paragraph in the description, wow! Well said❤
Damn, now that's a movie scene that would not be made today!
Anyone remember how Disney Pocahontas opens? Powhatan's first lines boil down to: "we just thrashed the tribe downriver! You should have seen Kocoum!" the truth of the matter is, man has been conquering each other for ages. Whether he does it with a rock, a sword, or a gun, conflict has been much of the story of man. The briefest of looks at history tells you what you need to know.
That was very well done. Excellent writing, directing and acing and the production values were absolutely fabulous.
Nailed it.
Absolutely
Up till this point justification for conquest and brutality wasn't really a thing. The kings of Syria, Mongolians, Romans and all other powerful people's conquered, enslaved and committed genocide because they could.
Yes, they took whatever they had the strength to take, and they didn't feel the least bit guilty about it. They were, of course, hated by the people they conquered, which is not surprising. No one enjoys being conquered by a foreign power...and all populations mourn being conquered. Meanwhile, the conquerors celebrate their victory. So it goes.
Technically the Roman Senate and later Emperors would need justification for further conquests.
@@jessiemeisenheimer8675 "Technically the Roman Senate and later Emperors would need justification for further conquests." They needed explain to themselves why they should go to war, they didn't need to justify it to the people they attacked.
The Christian kingdoms of Europe had some doctrines theoretically defining "casus belli", and warfare in the Medieval era was generally more sparing of civilians than the Classical era. Also, the US often tried to justify its wars against and expulsions of Native Americans based on misinterpreted treaties and laws. So, at least in these two examples, you see that explicit rationalizations for war often couldn't just be for conquest, and sometimes limited the nature of the war.
Law of Conquest. It is only your land if you can keep it
"All for property" A line from a character in the book, "The Thin Red Line" to remind himself why he was on Guadalcanal.
Wow... this was really good!
What movie is this from?
The movie is called Bury my heart at wounded knee
You could never get this mini-series made today.
Hey, Mike....
Only this: Bravo! And no, not for the video...but yes, oh it is indeed a classic.
But what impressed the hell out of me were your comments.
I'm tempted to tell you that I'll be 72 in a couple of months and I could tell you how and why I started keeping a journal back on Wednesday 11/21/79 which is now over 9 million words long and how I have indeed always been fascinated by simply standing back and watching the human condition play out. And the only point would be to say you summed it all up perfectly and as succinctly as possible. But I won't.
Mike, again: Bravo!
The truth is usually simpler than we make it out to be, indeed.
Such a goddamn amazing scene, love it. So much to learn here.
Imagine this movie being made now lol
They’d probably get Taylor Sheridan to make it.
If that's Custer he'd be black and like men.

We visited the Comanche museum a few years ago. I had already read "Empire of the Comanche Moon". Moving through the exhibits I chuckled to myself. They were making themselves out to be peaceful, and caring people while ignoring the facts of their brutality to other tribes as well has Mexican and Texan settlers. I don't blame them really. Too bad we can't get a really honest and well made movie about that time, or better yet that book.
I'm on a jobsite that the owner spent over a half million for native monitors because we found one Injun bone. What a joke. Guess they get the last laugh.
Damn. That was one of the most profound yt vids I've seen in a while, and I'm always looking for profound...
The Sioux of the Black Hills, after Lewis and Clark, literally became a "most favored nation" to the US. They were granted control of their region's fur trade, and were even innocculated against smallpox.

These comments give me hope for mankind. Respect, logic and wisdom🙏🏻
This battle seems to be very widely disputed in terms of what happened, who did what and when etc. The consensus I do see is that Custer was arrogant, rash, was rushing and somehow, for some reason ended up being outnumbered and outmaneuvered.
I wish humans wouldnt kill each other senselessly. We just need to remember past wrongs to not forget, and learn going forward.
Yeah, that’s the thing…the past is never wrong, it’s just the past. At the time, the people then did as they believed they must. It’s the same now, only we will ever understand the context of the times we live in, and no matter what, posterity will view our decisions through their lens in the context of their reality then. But there seems to be certain things that define all species that are immutable. This scene captures that, for better or worse.
Peace is just a prelude to greater war. War is in human nature. Since dawn of time. Human tribes are at war with each other. For land, wealth, glory, or just petty grievences. That was what it is for 10,000 years of human existence. And will continue to be so for how long humans will exist.....
Humans have been killing eachother for thousands of years, for a variety of reasons. Who are we, only a handful of decades old, to question the means?

I do love the quote "No less noble a cause."
He's not trying to claim the moral high ground, he's just denying it to the chief.
Is this clip from a movie, if so whats the name of it?
Dude wrote a book that literally no one will read but couldnt include the name of the movie.
His skate videos weren't trending so he figured a video about race will bump up those views
The films is an HBO series called "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" after the book it's based on by Dee Brown.
What cracks me up is by the time the Europeans came the Native Americans still hadn't even invented the f××king Wheel 😂

Germans when the allies give Poland its land back.
Yeah, it’s every script for history. Just change a few names around and the story works like every time.

Brutal
Reality sadly is, and always has been. Live like this perpetually or with homeless on drugs everywhere with no purpose? Or in families that aren’t unified and have too much leisure time but to complain and look for greener grass when life is right in front of you? Reality is still no different, the context of our perception has changed. Reality hasn’t.

Why do I need to watch the entire movie? The scene is the point. It’s the point I’m making, that is, that it’s a concise, 4 minute, reality of the entirety of history. That’s what the title of the post indicates. I’m not advertising for a Hollywood film, I’m pointing out something concise and brilliant, as well as saying that even a broken clock displays the correct time twice a day.

when chief sitting bull himself is being played by a European man you know it is not a fair argument.
The fact is there are no Natives left to argue their case.

I believe this is from the mini series, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.
Yes, it was not a pastoral wonderland before Europeans arrived.....
Translation of the army officers point of view: might makes right. Conclusion: there is absolutely no problem with Russia invading Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine because Ukraine wanted to be part of NATO, which is explicitly an anti-russia pact. Its the exact same thing as when we told Russia no missiles in Cuba.
@@shoopoop21Russia brought it up on themselves trying to expand into western territory for 90 years
lmao true enough
You obviously know about as much history of Russia as you do North America. Look into the 2014 color revolution in Ukraine because you have the CIA to thank for all of that.
Yeah so is it okay to invade Russian Siberia because it was never theirs and for the most part not inhabited by Russians
