Friends and Genocide: When Will the Indian Wars Ever End?*
Elouise Pepion Cobell “Yellow Bird Woman” is a Friend.
Friends are crucial. We don’t particularly appreciate their being murdered.
Villagers peacefully camped on a lakeside or youngsters innocently eating candy or ambling down the street hardly deserve violent deaths and summary execution; simply because they present terrifying non-pink skin tones.
More than 30 million Indigenous Friends in what are currently the United States don’t have the perfect pink-leaning-towards-white skin tone mandatory to remain alive in “the greatest country in the World.” As a result, they have since been “disappeared.”
This United States’ Holocaust (more than 30 million) is Hitler’s Holocaust (more than 6 million) times five.

All continuing investigations and analytics at PaulThomasRichards.wordpress.com exposing racism–such as the ongoing MLK, Jr. Birthday Series, ongoing Washington red skins and NFL Racism Series, and ongoing United States Empire series are dedicated to the Blackfoot Confederacy’s great warrior, Elouise Pepion Cobell, “Yellow Bird Woman” in Niitsítapi.
Great-grand-daughter of Mountain Chief, Cobell dedicated her adult life to restoring Indigenous Peoples’ rights throughout what is now called the United States of America, or U.S.A..
Before passing in October 2011, Cobell successfully completed the largest ever class-action lawsuit against the United States of America for massive fraud; massive land theft; massive resources theft, and the theft of billions of dollars from leases; all stolen by the U.S. Department of Interior from 500,000 individual Native Americans.

Who Wants Supremacy of Pink People?**
Racism has no place in what the United States are supposed to be.
If your friend is a racist, it’s time for you to end that friendship.
If your state is racist, it’s time for you to overthrow your state.

You thought it was over but it’s just like before
Will there never be an end to the Indian wars?It’s not breech-loading rifles and wholesale slaughter
It’s kickbacks and thugs and diverted water
Treaties get signed and the papers change hands
But they might as well draft these agreements in sand

“Put Our Hearts Together”
3 January 1983. St. Vincent.
“Who needs supremacy of pink people?
There’s no such thing as a pure racial strain.
It takes all colours to make a rainbow.
Takes every part to make a working brain.”
