Custer and the 7th Calvary might argue differently since they were wiped-out by Sitting Bull, one of the greatest Indian fighters in history.

So either this quote is fake or he was bullshitting. Get it? Sitting Bull Shitting . . .

Sitting Bull didn’t actually led the fight. Head-chiefs stay back and defend those who can’t fight.

Months before Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull realized the U.S will attack one day. Unlike other chieftains, who decided to run down the boarder or surrender, Sitting Bull started offering other tribes protection, food and shelter. His vision was to unite as many tribes as possible even if those tribes had little to offer in return.

By the time Custer came along, his scouts reported a huge village with hundreds of horses. Instead of retreating, they decided to start shooting the women and children from a distance thinking the men are sleeping and will surrender. They were wrong…

Custer’s 7th Cavalry were outnumbered at least 2 to 1 and out-gunned using mostly single shots vs. repeaters. Custer stupidity didn’t help either.

However, Sitting Bull strategy failed in the long run. He had too many mouths to feed and his people were starving so eventually he decided to surrender.

That is way Sitting Bull is special: He put his duty to the welfare of his people ahead of his own honor and self preservation. That is how the quote makes sense.

That didn’t sound biased at all.

I’m sure the evil whitey was shooting women and children and laughing while they rubbed the horns on their heads and celebrated death as we all do frequently.

Sitting Bull united his tribes thinking he could rally enough men together to scalp every white person in eye sight whether they were soldiers or farmers. They raped, murdered, and ate people ffs.

He surrendered because he got starved out and waited out and then beat to shit. Then Red Tomahawk killed his stupid ass.

Ever since liberal asshole have as usual tried to rewrite history to suit their agenda. Which is sick.

“I’m sure the evil whitey was shooting women and children”

Yap.

“he could rally enough men together to scalp every white person in eye sight” – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitting_Bull#Battle_of_the_Little_Bighorn
He wanted out of the reservation so he went out to live in the Plains. They were completely isolated from civilization so “every white person in sight” would be no body.

“Red Tomahawk killed his stupid ass.” Yeah. And Jesus was killed by his people just like Gandhi and Lincoln. Shit happens to real political leaders that want to bring real change. And it’s usually done by those closest to them since they have the most to lose. Whats your point?

“tried to rewrite history”
Let me surprise you by saying this: The Indians were doomed once they made contact with the Europeans regardless of any actions any White men did. I will even go to say that if the relationship was friendly, the Indians would have been annihilated for sure. Being isolated in the reservations has kept the Indians more protected from the many pathogens the Europeans were carrying and that the Indians had no immunity from.

Besides, regardless of actions such as this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Dance_War
In the overall picture:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Wars
It was mostly skirmishes all around while the U.S. expanded into the Great Plains. Only about 30k died on the Indian side which is actually not a huge number considering the hundreds of thousands that dies from the diseases.

Oh, and as for my “liberal asshole…agenda”, I support every war the U.S. was involved in including the recent ones. The thing is, I detest the Russians and the Chinese far more than the Americans. It is better to be bought and paid for than to be raped by commies and rag-heads.

. . . Though I rather have a third option.
