[QUOTE="Shiloh Raven, post: 72043029, member: 387249"] Is that why Native Americans were denied religious freedom for 202 after this country was supposedly founded on freedom, liberty and justice for all? It was against federal law for them to practice their religious ceremonies in public until the American Indian Freedom of Religion Act of 1978. And for the record, they were also denied citizenship until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. That was 148 years after this country was supposedly founded on freedom, liberty and justice for all. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, given the true story behind the holiday and I give thanks to the Creator everyday, not just once a year. Christmas and Easter are fine with me. I don't mind their pagan origins at all or the pagan rituals that were intermingled with the holidays. I don't stand for the anthem or recite the pledge. As far as I'm concerned, America doesn't deserve my respect or deserve to be honored. No amount of supposed good that this country has done will ever wash the blood of my ancestors off of its hands. I'm sickened when I see an American flag because it's a tangible reminder of what happened to my ancestors. It's a reminder that this country was founded on white supremacy, slavery, racism, discrimination and oppression of minorities. I think your knowledge of American history is somewhat lacking and it reeks heavily of American Exceptionalism. Native Americans, black people and other minorities were continuously left out of your utopia of unity in America. Furthermore, America is not a Christian nation and it wasn't founded on Christian principles either. The only biblical aspects that can honestly be attributed to the 'founding of America' was the insurmountable amount of genocide and slavery that occurred during the continuous theft of stolen tribal lands through (1) the hundreds of treaties the United States government had with sovereign Indian nations but refused to honor said treaties and broke every single one of them; (2) the forced removals of entire tribes onto barren wastelands called Reservations or also known to this day as prisoner of war camps; (3) the death marches such as the Trail of Tears into Indian Territory, which that land was later stolen to become the state of Oklahoma through the Oklahoma Land Run. An estimated 4,000 Cherokee men, women and children died on that trail; (4) the ongoing cultural genocide through the American Indian Boarding Schools, whose sole purpose was to 'Kill the Indian, Save the Man' and forcibly Christianize native children with the intent to destroy everything that had to do with being Indigenous; and (5) the countless massacres, like Sand Creek and Wounded Knee, that ruthlessly murdered native men, women and children. The United States of America was founded on perpetuated lies and stolen tribal lands. IOW, America wasn't founded on Christian principles. I'm not sure what you're groaning about because at least your children weren't forcibly taken away from you and placed in Boarding Schools to be forcibly stripped of their cultural identity. You're not being denied the right to practice your Christian faith and that practicing your faith isn't punishable by imprisonment or at least not here in America. You and your family were forcibly removed from your home to go live on some barren wasteland. The land you live on wasn't forcibly taken from you by the U.S. government and your family wasn't slaughtered for the land you live on either. [/QUOTE]
