https://narf.org/kill-indians-language/Yesterday, pundit Ann Coulter stated on X (formerly Twitter) that we didnt kill enough Indians. The post was shared more than a million times. As a writer and a lawyer, Coulter knows that words matter, especially for someone with her platform. Suggesting that Native Americanswhose communities and cultures persist and thrive despite the American government having systematically taken Native lands, children, religions, and livesdeserve to die or were not persecuted enough, is ignorant and immoral.
Although abhorrent, this language is not new. Getting rid of Native Americans has been the stated goal of a slew of U.S. policies from the Trail of Tears to the Termination Era. One hundred years ago, policy makers engaged in cultural genocide: killing the Indian to save the man. Many advocated to just kill the Indians. Genocidal language aimed at Native Americans was supposed to be something of the past. It was something that mainstream society had rejected and moved pastuntil Coulters post.
We call on all those who are decent, who have moral values, to denounce this type of hate speech. We should not treat each other in this way. The dark history of the United States policies towards Native people should not be repeated. Join us in standing up for the rights of Native people and preserving our existence for generations to come.

(406 posts)She posts outrageous things, like "my only problem with Timothy McVeigh is that he didn't bomb the New York Times building." or "we should invade their countries (in the Middle East),execute their leaders, and convert them to Christianity" because she knows it will bring her media attention, and that's what she craves.
She's as much a malignant narcissist as Trump. Even that idiotic book she wrote about him has HER picture on the cover, in her ever-present black sleeveless cocktail dress.
"Convert them to Christianity." Like she even knows the basic tenets of Christianity. Because that's what Jesus would do - kill more Indians.
She takes the definition of "pathetic" to whole new level.

(5,175 posts)... is a textbook sociopath. Concern for how her words and actions affect others never crosses her mind. She cannot grasp the concept of empathy, in fact, she's dismissed it with contempt in the past, just like Musk, Trump, and thousands of other misanthropes that infest society.
We cannot remove them, but we certainly don't have to afford them the attention-getting platforms they crave. Even the mention of their names gives them credence they don't deserve. We should shun them utterly. And about those in the media that are so eager to capitalize on the venomous bile they spew... well, they can join her in the social septic tank.

(16,583 posts)The Coultergeist rears her head from time to time to post another bit of outrageousness. Its what she does. She is getting a little long in the tooth (shes 63) and she cant compete with the younger Republican women like Loomer and Leavitt.
