A photo for Richard Cohen
by David Atkins
Digby posted earlier about the amazing historical ignorance of “liberal” columnist Richard Cohen, who apparently only awoke to the fact that slavery was not as depicted in “Gone with the Wind” until he saw “12 Years a Slave” recently.
Since Thanksgiving is coming up soon, I figured Richard Cohen might want to learn about this:
These are tiny children’s handcuffs used to pacify Native American children as they were led away into indoctrination camps schools to keep them pacified.
This sort of ugliness has always been present in America, mostly perpetrated by the same Southern Jacksonian forces that are trying to deny Americans healthcare coverage today. It’s all still the same wars, with the same sets of cultural actors.
