Шта се десило када је Тексас хтео да се отцепи од САД? Каква је разлика између САД и КиМ?

 

[gost 198065]

Teksas je deo amerike, Kosovo Srbije. To je jedina razlika.

Slušajte Russella.

Ne govorim o ovom konkretno obraćanju američkom senatu. Slušajte ga inače.

Ovo je jedan od najmudrijih ljudi koje sam ikada imala sreću slušati.

Svi smo mi Republic of Lakotah.

Russell Means je bio aktivista za prava Američkih Indijanaca. Jedan od najpoznatijih lidera AIM-a, American Indian Movement-a, nakon što se pridružio pokretu 1968. Učestvovao je, između ostalog, u okupaciji Alkatraza 1968. godine i zaposedanju sedišta BIA-e, Bureau of Indian Affairs, u Vašingtonu 1972. Sarađivao je sa UN-om po pitanju položaja domoradočkog stanovništva širom planete. Između ostalog, bio je u timu Larry-ja Flynt-a tokom njegove (neuspešne) kandidature za američkog predsednika.
Lično je bio kandidat za predsedničke izbore unutar Liberalne partije 1987.

Rođen 10.11.1939. u indijanskom rezervatu Pine Ridge, od majke je nazvan Wanbli Ohitika, Brave Eagle na jeziku svog plemena, Lakota. 1995. godine objavio je autobiografiju, Where White Men Fear To Trade, koju su čak i njegovi najžešći kritičari nazvali jednim od presudnih trenutaka u američkoj istoriji.

U svom je životu bio glumac, muzičar i priznat slikar koji je izlagao širom sveta, preprodavac droge, kriminalac i bivši robijaš. Ženio se pet puta, otac desetoro dece. Po ocu je pripadao klanu Crazy Horse-a.

Izvanredan čovek, neverovatno svestran, izuzetno načitan, čovek koji je poznavao američku i evropsku istoriju bolje od većine amerikanaca i mnogih Evropljana. Čovek koji je bio svugde, probao sve, i najposle doneo herojski izbor: posvetio život borbi za prava svog naroda, a protiv američke vlade.

Umro je 22.10.2012. godine. Povodom njegove smrti, američki tv magnati su objavili, citiram:

spent a lifetime as a modern American Indian warrior, railed against broken treaties, fought for the return of stolen land and even took up arms against the federal government

i:

became as well-known a Native American as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

U februaru 2008. godine, u svojstvu lidera Lakotah Freedom Delegation; predao je službeni zahtev za priznanje otcepljenja Republike Lakote od SAD-a, između ostalih, šačici odabranih evropskih zemalja - Finskoj, Islandu, Francuskoj, Irskoj - i Srbiji.


Slušajte Russella.

JOHNNY CASH - Drums (A Native American Tribute)

From the Indian reservation to the governmental school
Well they're goin' to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule
And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed
And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near

And when they think that they'd changed me cut my hair to meet their needs
Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed
Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near

Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school
Just another empty Indian just America's first fool
But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near

Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull
there's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full
Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near

Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry but we taught it to you first
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys broken treaties left us cursed
Even now you have to cheat us even though you think us tame
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near
