USA killed 65 million people of color (mostly indians) in the 1850 - 1890's. 1958 indian adopprojec
I just learned in the passed couple of years that one of the reasons for WW2 was that hitler was taking alllll the blonde, blue-eyed babies and children from all over europe, AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS, especially in scandinavia, poland and czechoslovakia and putting those children with strangers-as-parents in germany to "germanize" them. if the children didn't "germanize" properly they were put in labor camps where most of them died. they were never returned to their parents and even if they survived the odds of a "baby" remembering anything about who their parents are or where they lived would be near-impossible.
i am amazed this kind of information isn't given out after a war, but there is a secrecy treaty, where all the nitty gritty war stuff is held secret for 50 years after a war ends and then they start releasing the info. wtf? the reason: if we knew everything the war would start up all over again right away ...
then i discover that U.S.A. did the same thing that hitler did, but in usa, the victims were indian babies and children. usa did this in 1958. it was called the indian adoption project! sounds innocent, except its NOT:
The Indian Adoption Project was formed in 1958. It aimed to 'civilize' Native American children by REMOVING THE INDIAN BABIES AND CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR TRIBE and ensuring their adoption by white, Northeastern American families.
sounds identical to what hitler did with the blonde, blue-eyed babies and children of europe from 1935 to 1940's.
Eventually, the Indian Child Welfare Act went into place (1978), made famous now by the Baby Veronica Case.
it never stops.
we already KNEW this was wrong. we fought a WAR over it. so how is it happening right here in the United States, 13 years after WORLD WAR 2 ended? and it continued to 1978! wtf? it went on for TWENTY YEARS in usa, it didn't even go on for twenty years in europe, it was stopped over there after five years, it became a world war. it should have been a world war here. would love to know who came up with that law in 1958 and how it was put through. its completely barbaric.
i'm wondering what else i'm going to find out by accident about what goes on right here in usa.
a videography studio in the uk was recently sued for comments they made on a wedding video at a jewish wedding about how great it was that the holocaust happened. they gave the couple back their money for the video. the video went viral on the internet.
one of the comments criticizing that video was:
"My great uncle was a part of the Rainbow Division that liberated Dachau. When I interviewed him for a school project, he told me,
"Sweetheart, I have only cried twice in my adult life. The first was when we buried my mother. The second was when I saw what they had done to those poor people."
now, in 1958 there should have been MANY people still alive who remembered world war 2, so WHY would the usa enact a LAW removing indian babies and children from their parents? and WHY would something like that CONTINUE undeterred for TWENTY YEARS!!!

History is written by the victors. Most likely it was not publicized so people didn\'t know about it, like they did in Germany. Plus, during WW2 they put Japanese people in what were close to concentration camps. But a lot of people don\'t know that, ether.
yeah, i heard about the japanese camps in USA and the prejudice from reading the book \"the family nobody wanted\" by helen doss (its a memoir) she is the woman responsible for changing adoption laws in usa, so an orphan didn\'t need to be an exact ethnic match to be adopted. lovvvved that book as a kid and still enjoy picking it up and reading pieces of it. very entertaining. they were in life magazine.
its amazing when you actually meet the people who were there. in south florida we used to see people with tatooed numbers on their wrists allll the time in hallandale beach. no idea if they are still around or not. totally wakes you up
