31. Recall Sand Creek and Washita River
Thu Jan 10, 2013, 04:25 PM
Jan 2013

That's where the creeks ran red with blood,
women, children lying all around
babies dying like dogs in the mud

But it's one little two little three little four
five little Indians'll never dance no more
six little seven little eight little nine little ten,
ten little Indians' you'll never see again

You don't get over 100,000,000 native Americans and over 100,000,000 Africans killed in the New World or fighting slavers in the Home countries through genocide without mass murders.
