Typical racist rhetoric:
The “oh, but you’re not like the rest of them” line.
Never forget
His fucking face in the third pic is like every white boy I’ve ever seen try to explain away his racist/sexist/homophobic comment.
When it’s actually the opposite. English settlers were the savages. Native Americans had running irrigation systems! They had beautiful and intricate cities and homes and communities. They were clean, and respectful of the environment, and even used a form of breath sweeteners! But no. You won’t learn any of that in American history classes. You won’t learn about the complete and utter genocide of a nation of people who originally inhabited this land. Nope.
Savages- lyrics
-Part 1-
[Ratcliffe]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
Their skin’s a hellish red
They’re only good when dead
They’re vermin, as I said
And worse[English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages![Ratcliffe]
Barely even human[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages![Ratcliffe]
Drive them from our shore!
They’re not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war![Ratcliffe+English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages!
Dirty redskin devils!
Now we sound the drums of war![Powhatan]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed[Kekata]
Beneath that milky hide
There’s emptiness inside[Native American]
I wonder if they even bleed[Native Americans]
They’re savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages![Powhatan]
Killers at the core[Kekata]
They’re different from us
Which means they can’t be trusted[Powhatan]
We must sound the drums of war[Native Americans]
They’re savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages![Ben]
Let’s go kill a few, men![Native Americans]
Savages! Savages![Ratcliffe]
Now it’s up to you, men![All]
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!-Part 2-
[Pocahontas]
Is there nothing I can do?
Will this really be the end?
Is it only death that waits
Just around the riverbend?[Ratcliffe]
This will be the day …
(Let’s go men!)[Powhatan]
This will be the morning …
(Bring out the prisoner)[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will see them dying in the dust[Pocahontas]
I don’t know what I can do
Still, I know I’ve got to try[English Settlers]
Now we make ‘em pay[Pocahontas]
Eagle, help my feet to fly[Native Americans]
Now without a warning …[Pocahontas]
Mountain, help my heart be great[English Settlers and Native Americans]
Now we leave ‘em blood and bone and rust[Pocahontas]
Spirits of the earth and sky …[English Settlers and Native Americans]
It’s them or us[Pocahontas]
Please don’t let it be to late …[English Settlers and Native Americans]
They’re just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking[English Settlers]
Savages![Native Americans]
Savages![English Settlers]
Demons![Native Americans]
Devils![Ratcliffe]
Kill them![Native Americans]
Savages![English Settlers]
Savages![Ratcliffe+English Settlers]
What are we waiting for?[All]
Destroy their evil race
Until there’s not a trace left[Pocahontas]
How loud are the drums of war[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)[Ratcliffe]
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums[Native Americans]
Now we sound the drums … of … war![English Settlers]
Of course it means the drums … of … war![Pocahontas]
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of war?This basically says both parties had a hand in the racism
Wow. Wooooow. I really hope I misinterpreted your post. Because if it’s saying what I think it does… wow. Just when I thought people on tumblr couldn’t get any worse…
Not only did you paste way too much text onto my post with annoying formatting… you actually are using Disney lyrics as a source to express your hilariously misinformed and completely shitty opinion that Native Americans and white settlers BOTH had a hand in the racism.
Wow. I’m truly amazed rn.
