[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1426144, member: 17969"] the governor Peter Burnett used the term REDSKIN like this.. In his January 1851 message to the California legislature, California Governor Peter H. Burnett promised "a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct." Newspapers cheered on the campaign. In 1853 the Yreka Herald called on the government to provide aid to "enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last [B]redskin[/B] of these tribes has been killed. Extermination is no longer a question of time--the time has arrived, the work has commenced and let the first man who says treaty or peace be regarded as a traitor." How people can claim the term REDSKIN is not offensive, when it was used to exterminate Indians is beyond understanding. When hitler exterminated JEWS, everyone came to help. Everyone felt sorry for the jews. We are always reminded of what happened to the jews. But the indians? Whos gives a crap seems to be the case. TOS. [/QUOTE]
