REDSKIN, A HATE WORD DEFINED page 5

A PERVERSE HATE

("REDSKIN"A HATE WORD DEFINED, cont.)

"The redskinned Indians are naturally lazy and vicious, melancholic, cowardly, and in general a lying, shiftless, people. Their marriages are not a sacrament but a sacrilege. They are idolatrous, libidinous, and commit sodomy. Their chief desire is to eat, drink, worship heathen idols, and commit bestial obscenities. What could one expect from a people whose skulls are so thick and hard that the Spaniards had to take care in fighting not to strike on the head lest their swords be blunted?"

-Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes
16th Century, (Hanke, p. 11)

The "redskin" is a concept. It began during the period of time that meant a three year old, little child could be shot down with no more thought than killing an animal. Treating Native Americans as animals is the basis for destruction of them as human beings, it gives the perpetrators permission to commit destructive, hateful acts, even against children.
