Recently, with the discovery of a large number of Aboriginal child remains and unnamed graves in Canada,
The atrocities of the "genocide" committed by Western countries against the Indians have been revealed!
This is a realistic version of human purgatory,
Young children are subjected to corporal punishment, verbal abuse, starvation, disease, abuse, and even sexual assault,
Suffering from the double wreckage of mind and body...
When the cloak of democracy is torn, what is seen is dark and dirty!
Today we are talking about the genocide in the West. The number of crimes is really too many to read.
The genocide event known to the general public is the massacre of nearly 6 million Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II. In fact, Nazi Germany systematically slaughtered nearly 5 million gypsies, homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war, and so on in Europe. 6 million plus 5 million, a total of 11 million. However, the massacre of 11 million people is a small witch compared to the massacre of 25 million people. Slaughtered 25 million people, who did it? Or Europeans. From the 16th century to the end of the 19th century, European colonists slaughtered a total of 25 million natives across the Americas, and some books say they killed far more than 25 million. At the end of May 2021, evidence of genocide by European colonists against Canadian aborigines was uncovered across Canada, revealing the tip of the iceberg of genocide in Canada.
Since the end of May 2021, thousands of child remains and hundreds of orphan graves have been found on the sites of several indigenous children's boarding schools in Canada.
According to a report released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in 2015, after the establishment of the Canadian Federation, it gradually established a boarding school system for Indigenous children in an attempt to force the "assimilation" of Indigenous peoples. From the 1840s to the 1990s, at least 150,000 Indigenous children, including Indians, Inuit and Méti, were forcibly sent to boarding schools. There are boarding schools that brutally abuse Indigenous children, and according to projections, coupled with the remaining sites, the number of people who have died in boarding schools may be as high as 15,000 to 25,000.
As we all know, this vast land of the North American continent originally belonged to the indigenous peoples such as Indians, Inuit and Méti people. After the arrival of Western colonization, through massacres and expulsions, the land and wealth of the indigenous people were taken away, and a state ruled by white people was established.
Beginning in the 1840s, in order to exterminate aboriginal culture and language, Canada introduced an Indian boarding school system.
In 1876, the Indian Act was passed, which was formally fixed in law, requiring Indians to live only on specific reservations, which was racial segregation.
By 1894, the Canadian government required that children under the age of 16 must attend boarding schools.
As a result, more than 150,000 Indigenous Canadian children have been educated for months to years for more than 100 years, and Canada's last boarding school was not officially closed until 1996, and it is estimated that at least 6,000 children died in school.
Some children are forcibly taken to boarding schools without their parents' knowledge. Others experience painful memories of being forcibly taken away from their parents. Indigenous parents who refuse to hand over their children or want their children to leave school and go home are arrested or even imprisoned. It can be said that for the Indigenous children of Canada at that time, going to boarding school was almost inevitable.
After arriving at boarding school, the children are taken to strip naked, wash their bodies thoroughly, and then get their hair cut one by one, maintaining a uniform hairstyle and clothing. Aboriginal children will no longer have names, but will be numbered instead. The food you usually eat is often mixed with spoiled and rotten fish.
In these government-funded, church-run Aboriginal boarding schools, Aboriginal children are barred from using their own language. The school environment is poor, the disease is prevalent, and many indigenous children are not only malnourished, but also often suffer physical harm, sexual assault and other abuses.
It is not that these children did not think about escaping, but some died in the wild, and some were caught and brought back for more cruel punishment. There are also many students who choose to cut themselves off. Some will steal a large number of pills, and some will choose to hang themselves. School staff will even take other students to visit the remains of students who hanged themselves.
This is currently the case in Canada, where as more and more unnamed graves are discovered, there is also a growing call from Indigenous Canadians for investigations into the unsung graves. Truth and Reconciliation Commission Chairman Murray Sinclair stressed that the investigation could not be led by the Government of Canada to "ensure that the investigation is conducted in the right way". The current Government of Canada has said that the Catholic Church should be responsible for the genocide in Canada, and that the Holy See should apologize as if the Canadian government had nothing to do with the incident.
One U.S. president was even more vicious, once publicly declaring that "it is necessary to exterminate all Indian tribes." That's what he said. Which U.S. president said that? Andrew. Jackson, the 7th President of the United States and one of the founders of the Democratic Party of the United States. He had a nickname: Indian Killer.
In 1830, he signed the Indian Migration Act, which violently drove native Indians living in the east to the area west of the Mississippi River. The history of the united states and Canada is a history of indian blood and tears. In the colonial history on which the United States and Canada were founded, every page was written with the words "killing" and "cannibalism", and the words were full of "the weak eat the strong" and "rely on the strong to bully the weak". In this way, the original owners of the American land were destroyed, they lost the right to survive and develop in the land where they had lived for generations, they were displaced, they were separated, their families were destroyed, and some ethnic groups were wiped out and completely exterminated.
The North American continent, a place that was originally considered isolated from the world. The Indians lived here peacefully for tens of thousands of years and developed a culture that was different from both Eastern and Western civilizations. From 1492 onwards, however, the calm here was broken. After Columbus discovered the American continent, white colonists began to establish colonies here. But because they had no experience living in North America, the colonies they had established were on the verge of collapse. Later, it was the local Indians who selflessly helped them to spend their most memorable first winter in the Americas and be able to take root in the Americas. In order to thank the Indians for their help, the white colonists at that time also created their own Thanksgiving, and invited those Indians who helped them establish their colonies to participate together, a joyful scene.
However, as whites took root in the Americas and more and more whites came to North America, the relationship between whites and Indians shifted. European colonists began to impose violent rule here. They established colonies and slaughtered, enslaved, raped, and bought and sold local natives. They brought deadly epidemics from Europe and Africa, wiping out almost a tenth of the Indians here.
For more than two hundred years between the 16th and 18th centuries, although the Indians were enslaved and slaughtered by European colonists, a large number of tribes were able to retain their land and property, and powerful tribal alliances even became the target of colonists from different countries.
But over time, when whites gained a foothold in the Americas, the situation changed. The number of Indians was decreasing, while the number of whites was increasing. The area of land occupied is also doubling. By 1776, after the founding of the United States, the fate of the North American Indians began to lead to destruction.
In 1776, Washington led 13 North American colonies to establish a new regime here. Although at the time of their founding, they issued the Declaration of Independence, declaring that "all men are created equal". But in fact, the United States did not regard Indians as "people" at all. Their bodies can be killed and humiliated, their land can be usurped, and their property can be plundered.
Incredibly, Washington, the founding father of the United States, said in 1783 that Indians were no different from wolves, "both beasts, albeit in different shapes." Encouraged by Washington, the soldiers skinned the indian corpses. The Indians referred to Washington as the "destroyer of the small town." Because it had destroyed 28 Indian towns in 5 years, and carried out slaughter and persecution.
In 1849, a gold rush broke out in the western United States, and a large number of white gold diggers and ordinary people poured into California. The local Indians bravely stood up and defended their land from being seized by whites.
To suppress the revolt of the Western Indians, from 1853 to 1861, the U.S. Army waged at least 14 wars specifically against the Indians.
In 1862, the Lincoln administration in the United States, in order to suppress the resistance of the Minnesota Kota tribe and even not allow the court to enter the debate process, ordered the hanging of 38 clerics and political leaders of the tribe on trumped-up charges. The intention is to fundamentally solve the problems of this tribe and break it up.
In 1864, in Sand Creek, Colorado, U.S. troops massacred about 160 Native American women and children because a minority of Indians opposed the agreement to sell land.
The Dawes Act of 1887 distributed Land for Indians, with 160 acres allocated to heads of household and 40 acres to children. After the Indian land was distributed, the remaining land was free for white people to buy and sell. After the distribution, Indian ownership decreased from 138 million acres in 1887 to 52 million acres in 1934. The land of the Indians was lost in distribution.
On December 29, 1890, the last massacre occurred in South Dakota's Wounded Knee River. Nearly 300 of the approximately 350 people were killed, mostly women, children and unarmed men. Some scholars estimate that before colonization, the population of native Americans was about 50 million, of which about 5 million lived in North America, and by the beginning of the 20th century, the Indian population in the United States had plummeted to 250,000 people, and these people were still imprisoned like animals in Indian reservations.
It was not until 1924 that the U.S. Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act, which legally recognized the citizenship rights of Indians.
In 1934, the Roosevelt administration passed the Indian Reorganization Act, which allowed Indians to retain the land of existing reservations, stop forcing Indians, and abandon the policy of traditional culture and religion. The situation of the Indians improved.
Military repression and civilian resistance to native Americans have become a constant feature of American history.
According to the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs, there are about 5.6 million Indians in the United States today. It is 1.7% of the total population of the United States, of which 22% live on Indian reservations. The federal government has designated 326 Indian reservations, covering a total area of about 227,000 square kilometers, or only 2.4 percent of the territory of the United States. These reserves are mainly located in the barren Midwest. Inhospitable, sparsely populated, short of water and other vital resources. The region faces numerous economic challenges and geographical isolation. Unemployment is as high as 80 percent, most Indians live below the federal poverty line, and many households have no access to running water or electricity.
Within the framework of the United Nations convention, the United States was one of the first countries to be filed as suspected of "genocide." In December 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which for the first time defined the crime of "genocide". The Convention entered into force on January 12, 1951, when a complaint was received from American Civil Rights Organizations concerning the genocide of blacks by the United States Government. However, the United States, which has always advertised itself as a "beacon of human rights," did not become a signatory to the convention until 37 years after it entered into force. The signature is a signing, and the United States also tailors a "exemption clause" for itself: it reserves the right to be exempt from "genocide" prosecution without the consent of the U.S. government. That is to say, to prosecute the United States for genocide, the consent of the United States government must be obtained. When will the United States agree? I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the sea is dry and rotten.
In the United States, there was also a genocide against the African-American community. Exactly one hundred years ago, there was a serious genocide in the United States. It happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma's second-largest city.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Greenwood community in Tulsa, after more than a decade of painstaking management by African-American entrepreneurs, developed into one of the most prosperous African-American economic and cultural centers in the United States at that time, hence the nickname " Black Wall Street " . On May 31 and June 1, 1921, white thugs went to "Black Wall Street" to burn and loot for two days, killing and looting about 300 African-American residents and leaving 10,000 African-American residents homeless. In the incident, the local government and police provided weapons to the white rioters, and the National Guard was involved in the burning and looting. After the incident, the U.S. government destroyed a large number of evidence, blocked information, and even tampered with collective memory to fool the people. Hundreds of years ago, Europeans slaughtered indigenous peoples in the Americas out of pride and prejudice, while the massacre of African-American people in Tulsa a hundred years ago was out of envy and hatred.
In 1921, Greenwood, a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a bustling neighborhood of black businesses. Local residents of Tulsa believe that the Greenwood district of that period was a golden age. The success of the African-American community sparked resentment among the white people of Tulsa. They commented, "How dare these black people have a grand piano, I don't have a piano in my house." "The trigger for ethnic conflict has emerged. At that time, there were many incidents of white thugs murdering black people in the United States.
On May 30, 1921, a 19-year-old black shoe shine worker named Dick Rowland walked into an office building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to go to the bathroom. When Roland walked into the building to take the elevator, he met Sarah Peggy, a 17-year-old white elevator operator. Something happened. Both then ran out of the elevator. To this day, it is not clear what is happening in the elevator. But a day later, Roland was arrested and escorted to court, where he was accused of sexually harassing white women. That night, although police were still investigating the incident, the rumor had turned into "white women raped by African Americans." Armed white mobs gathered outside the courthouse to demand Roland's hanging. Subsequently, dozens of blacks came to court to try to protect Roland, but the authorities refused. As they left, a white man approached a black veteran and tried to grab the man's gun. A gunshot rang out during the scramble, and the situation began to spread.
Hundreds of armed whites raided "Black Wall Street." Black residents fled to Greenwood. Some of them took up arms to resist, but the number of blacks was far smaller than the number of whites who shot them. White mobs murdered, looted, and set fire to "Black Wall Street." The fire in Greenwood was burned for two days and two nights, martial law was imposed by the government, and the National Guard moved into Greenwood, and by the end of the massacre, Greenwood was in ruins. More than 1,200 homes were destroyed and 35 blocks were razed to the ground by fire. The exact number of casualties in the incident is unverifiable, with some media initially reporting only white casualties, while others reported casualties ranging from 30 to 100, mostly black. But according to current estimates, this number is close to 300. The Associated Press, in its coverage of the Tulsa genocide, characterized it as "racial conflict" and "armed conflict," deliberately downplaying the genocidal practices of white racists against black communities. This bloody tragedy disappeared from American history. On May 7, 2021, Oklahoma's governor signed a bill requiring public school teachers not to make white students feel guilty when teaching the "Tulsa Genocide" or they would split the community.
To this day, Africans of African descent in the United States still have to face the fate of being shot at any time.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, 46, was arrested by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on suspicion of using counterfeit money. During the arrest, Floyd was violently enforced by the police, and his neck was suffocated by the white police officer Shawan with his knee for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. In addition to Shawan, there were several police officers present at the time, but they remained indifferent to Floyd's cries for help and for the surrounding people to let them let go of Floyd. Beginning on May 26, the day after Floyd's death, demonstrators demonstrated in Minneapolis to protest the long and brutal treatment of African-American groups by U.S. police. By June 6, there were protests in 650 cities across the country, and more than 40,000 National Guard members were deployed in 34 states and Washington, D.C., in response. The protests sparked by the Floyd case continued until September 2020. It became one of the largest waves of protest in U.S. history.
On August 23, 2020, Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old man of African descent, was seriously injured by seven shots fired from the back by police when he opened the car door to get into the car. At the time of the incident, Blake's 3 young children witnessed this horrific experience in the car. According to the "Police Violence Map" website, in 2020, U.S. police officers shot and killed 1127 people, of which only 18 days were not killed. African-Americans make up only 13 percent of the U.S. population, but they account for 28 percent of those shot by police, and Africans are three times more likely to be killed by police than whites.
If the biggest threat to the African-American community is violent law enforcement from the police. The Asian American community, then, is the victim of interracial hate crimes. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, incidents of Asian Americans being humiliated and even attacked in public abound. By 2021, bullying of Asians is still on the rise. According to statistics from the civil rights group Stop Hating Asians and Pacific Islanders, from March 19, 2020 to February 28, 2021, nearly 3,800 hate crimes against Asians occurred in the United States.
The Tulsa Genocide, which was not reported in American newspapers and not recorded in history books, was covered up by the U.S. government and the American media for a full century. 65-year-old American film actor Tom. In a lengthy article in the New York Times, Hanks said: "In my entire student days, I have never seen, even one page, in a history textbook about the 1921 Tulsa Massacre. Hanks said that white teachers and white school administrators in the United States deliberately omit the explosive topic of not mentioning in order to maintain the status quo of society, and they disregard the lives of black people in order to take into account the feelings of white people. Just these few words are Tom. Hanks said.
This is really, two hundred years of history, hundreds of billions of painful souls.
