The short period when big scale historical movies were cool

On the reservations up north once winter is over the kids finally get to run around and play outside. A cop has to follow them around and put out all the fires they start. They don't call them wagon burners for nothing.

....therefore the Trail of Tears was justified? Man, you are batting .000 today.

No, don't go there, that's a separate issue.

Native Americans should have to answer for their own inhumanity, instead of bypassing it to blame whitey

I didn't even mention the Trail of Tears.
I just said the Cherokees owned slaves and it triggered GCF into instantly accusing me of being Andrew Jackson.

Jesus, it's Special Day.

The question was asked why Cherokee are more popular than other tribes. I mentioned that they (arguably) suffered the most - citing the Trail of Tears.

DB's brilliant response was to point out that they owned slaves. Follow now?

You've gotta remember that the Trail of Tears would have been hell for a sober person, but the Cherokees were all shitfaced when they did the walk, down to a man. Hell, they probably had the drunk munchies and thought the US Cavalry was taking them on a snack run. Was the Trail of Tears the one where we put all the Indians on ferries, or was that another one?

Well, you kind of are like Andy J....... But that doesn't apply here.
Standard Libtard debate rules to put you on the defensive and get you talking about how Whitey did some shit wrong to some brown person.

And they owned slaves.
But we don't talk about that part.

Well there are good reasons for their current miserable state. They followed all the rules, and the United States ruin them because they were not white and were well off.

They were very prosperous, counted as among the Five Civilized Tribes (where we got some of the inspiration for the Constitution), and were not European. Their current poverty is the direct result of their expulsion, and the theft of all their land, homes, and other property due to greed, and racism. The Cherokees made the mistake of believing in the rule of law. The idiots. Old bloodthirsty racist Andrew Jackson basically said (after the Supreme Court ruled the expulsions illegal) that the the courts were welcome to try to stop him using their own army.

Whinging about how they had slaves is BS. Plenty of white Southerners owned humans too, and paid for it during the Civil War. Nobody ever said that that it was fine to steal all their stuff, and exile them, because of it.

So triggered.

So there it is folks, lesson one on triggering SJWs into a frothing "blame whitey and scream about racism" screed - mention that Cherokees owned slaves.

...and use it as some kind of retarded blame-shifting tactic on a debate forum.

So brave.

Did I mention Cherokees owned slaves?
Yep.
They were slavers.

But that was a long time ago, and it was probably whitey's fault anyway.

Hey, did I mention the Chreokees kicked all the blacks, aka the descendants of those slaves, out of the tribe in 2011?

[TheReal_ND]

That's racist and how to be a Cherokee?
