I was simply describing the Canadian small town culture I grew up in, Donuel. It wasn't in itself evil in any particular sense, it was just a milieu where virtually everyone you ever saw or dealt with was White, so you got this general impression of life which I would term "White culture".

That's not evil, it's just a form of status quo, that's all.

Do you think that Sioux Indians (Lakota) did not themselves grow up in a milieu where everyone they saw and dealt with was a Plains Indian back before the Whites arrived? They did. So they were living in "Lakota culture". There wasn't anything evil about that either. It was just the cultural status quo.

If you want to get into a whole bunch of bitter guilt trips and recriminations over past historical wrongs of who did what to whom, you can do that, but you will never reach the end of it.

Consider this: Indians also attacked and devastated other groups of Indians, they tortured people in hideous ways, they enslaved people, and some Indian groups like the Aztecs ritually murdered many other Indians in human sacrifices.

One can get upset about that too now, if one wants to, but it doesn't seem to be very politically fashionable to do so at the moment.

I am not interested in the kind of negative psychology that endlessly obesseses over the past wrongs suffered by one group at the hands of another, because it usually just leads to inflicting further pain and prejudice when one does so.

I'm interested in people getting past all that stuff and embracing each other's good qualities and looking for what we have in common...not for what separates us.
