Nas: The Indians saved the Pilgrim, And in return the Pilgrim killed them

[BrilliantRapscallion]

Idk man, here I thought this was public knowledge. At least i'd hope so..

 

[LUClEN]

Saved them from what?

Saved them from what?

Native American -Squanto taught Pilgrims how to cultivate corn and survive their first Winter in N.America.

The Indians.....

I like Nas music but that's an oxymoronic rap bar if I ever heard one.

i dunno...he may be right, but i'm not inclined to learn something from an 8th grade dropout

Definitely my favorite song by Nas and one of my top 10 hip hop songs of alltime. Classic shit.

The term American Indian is good enough for the

SMITHSONIAN Museum of the American Indian

Then it's good enough for rap.

Plus "Indian" rhymes with "saved the Pilgrim" waay better than "Native American" rhymes with "save the Pilgrim" on the beat.

I was thinking " What Goes Around" is a Top Ten Nas song post IWW.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

They only invited them to the first dinner... They figured that was enough thanks lol

You should know though there were already native american protection programs in place throughout a good portion of slavery being legal

Fun fact of the day, red skins got more love than blacks

Fuck white culture.

What culture? They stole medicine from the Arabs, agriculture from the Italians, religious ideas from the Israelis, architecture and philosophy from the Greeks... white culture is basically "Invade, steal their ideas, rename shit, pretend we do it better."

All of those things originated in Africa

You are correct kind sir. Got to give them credit for being straight savages and strong arming everything though. In my opinion thats the reason why white folks are so hung up on having firearms. They are a naturally aggressive warlike people and they are nervous deep down inside and constantly on edge waiting for the various ethnicities to exact revenge on em, which I personally don't think anyone is really thinking about (at least not on a major overthrow the white man scale). Folks just want to be treated equally and have a piece of the pie. Simple.

How aren't Italians and Greeks white?

Fallacy of relevance. Nas' education level doesn't dictate whether or not that statement is true.

Christianity, adapted from Judaism, started in Africa?

Philosophy started in Africa even though the word is Latin in origin? Latin people are African? If you want to talk about Greeks studying Egyptian texts that's one thing but even then it's dubious because Plotinus was influenced by Arabs.

Also I was talking about who they stole it from, not the origins of everything.

Plotinus got his major influence more from thoughts and beliefs started in India. His teacher was from Hellenized Egypt (Alexandria) but who probably had Indian ancestry as well.
