It's obvious the newperson seeks to discredit him because of his heritage. On the other hand he probably used his supposed heritage to bolster his credibility. There's a lot of scam artists in Hawaii. Either way it his research and education should be the focus, not the racist focus of the interviewers. The idea that your genetic heritage constitutes your expertise on a subject is racist. How does excluding a race help it's cause?
CHURCHILL IS AN EVIL FUCKING CUNT & WAR CRIMINAL THAT ORDERED THE BOMBING & GENOCIDE OF OVER 500,000 German Children, Women, Men, Elderly & even all the animals in DRESDEN!
i can only imagine the frustration and anger in this mans heart from becoming the scapegoat for a conservative agenda only for the media to attack him at every possible opportunity.. i think any reasonable human being would be incensed at the ineptitude of the zombies who feel the need to question ALL of this 'credibility' his ideas/words are strong.. his agenda is an impersonal one
CHURCHILL is a fucking WAR CRIMINAL for the HOLOCAUST OF BOMBS DROPPED ON DRESDEN & GENOCIDE of 500,000 Aryan Germans! FUCK the Treaty of Versailles & the FUCKING EVIL ZIONIST ANTI-CHRISTS with their FAKE HOLO-HOAX, just an excuse to INVADE PALESTINE! WHITE POWER for the people of Germany!
I don't know if he has Native American blood or not. It does look possible from his facial features that there's some of that lineage there, but by no means is it obvious. But if self identification is the number one criterion for racial determination, then I'm an African Pygmy. So what if I'm white as snow and six feet tall? Fuck you, I self-identify as a Pygmy, so obviously I am. Tomorrow I'll be an Eskimo, Thursday a viking, and Friday an Amazon warrior woman.
I noticed that they all had their heads, and there were convictions and punishments meted out.
Now, about the taliban atrocities.. remember them? The foreign mercenaries sent to subjugate and occupy Iraq? The ones who lop off purple fingers, among other things? The Iraqi's deserve them instead of a government of their own choosing? They have another plan for the Iraqi oil money,, but the Iraqi people don't figure into that plan at all.
Sorry to remain off topic: There were over a million Iraqi deaths in the 2003 illegal war (Project Censored, Political Cartel Foundation, The Lancet, etc.) Using sense itself, "insurgents"' IEDs, etc. could not have caused the majority. Impossible. U.S. firepower, given it vastness, did, e.g., cluster bombs, white phospherous, among other bombs, weapons. A wider range of destruction. Now, I'll try not to remain off topic.
@revolution123ize I would like to know where you came up with that number 1,000,000 send me the link if you can wherever you found it I am very interested in reading about it.
@GhostsInMyAttic Re. 1 million Iraqi deaths: In a previous post, I cited Project Censored, Political Cartel Foundation & The Lancet. I'll add, Iraq: The Human Cost ("Wikileaks releases damning but misleading documents on Iraq"). It did estimate 700,000 to 1 million deaths. This is affirmed by Sahar Issa of McClathcy Newsservice. I again refer to Project Censored: #1: over 1 million deaths caused by U.S., occupation. And the British polling group Opinion Research business.
@GhostsInMyAttic As of yet, I've not been able to provide "official links." What do you specifically mean by "official." The actual websites? A "formal, official" source? You can't use google using the info provided?
For some, U.S. lives are apparently more valuable than others regarding the nonchalantness toward massive deaths in the name of U.S. interests.
Of course, Western civilization has made major contributions w/ ideas, culture, etc. But do nonwhite peoples, e.g., have to be blindly obligated and eternally grateful to the point of subservience? Hell, no, especially considering the negatives. The Roman empire occupied Britainnia. Did the "natives" remain "eternally grateful" & subservient? No.
Listen to his accidental confession at 1:06 (it's marked not only by his head bowing and a bird in flight... but also an odd bald man popping up like a jack-in-box).
@LoneCuetlachtli What body of work have you published and dedicated your life to that would even compare to what Ward has accomplished on behalf of American Indians?
I can clearly understand your frustration with people that are highly educated and fearless. It is quite intimidating to the average person of average intelligence.
Ward Churchill is one of the most intelligent people I have ever heard speak. If any of you know anything about Native American physical attributes or even if you don't you can research any of them and you will notice that he carries a distinct physical attribute common only among Native Americans. I won't give it away because that would be too easy. You'll have to use your your own brain and intelligence. I believe him period. He is a man of integrity; a rare find on planet earth.
@vutube379 As a true usurper of Indigenous being your pulling things right out of your asshole to suit your twisted view of reality. Ward is an imposter and very delusional. Ward would have a complete mental breakdown if he faced reality as to his real identity as a Euro-American.
@wovokanarchy I find that very curious actually since it was an indigenous person that supported him 100% before attacks on his lineage. What if he IS 100% European? He not only resonates but has an affinity with the indigenous peoples. He's also a scholar, no question. How is he an imposter and delusional? Are speaking specifically about his claim of a drop of indigenous blood or is it something entirely different?
@vutube379 Who cares if an Indigenous person supported him. I'm sure a lot of Indigenous people supported him before it was revealed he was a perpetrator of identity fraud. I'm sure there are still Indians who support him. What does that have to do his false claims of being a Creek and Cherokee Indian? There is no doubt his scholarship is sound and serves a purpose. But why create a lie just to promote his work and job? He's a walking contradiction and a colonizer + he doesn't know it.Deluded.
@wovokanarchy Hold on a minute. No need to get upset. I'm not trying to pick a fight. So what u are saying is that since he cannot trace back his lineage to a tribe that he is an imposter, and he did this so that he could devote his life to educating people re: the indigenous peoples' history in the proper way. Why wasn't it an indigenous person then who filled that position? Did an indigenous person lose out on the post because he claimed ancestry? Is that why he was shamed by the council?
@vutube379 Who's upset? Well when you say your of a people but it's found out you lied about it; what would you call it? An accident? Do some research on the countless Indigenous scholars and activists who have devoted their careers and life to promoting education about First Nation's peoples. I think Ward still has a role to play in that education but he shouldn't have to lie about his identity to get his message across.I think Ward took his job from an actual Indigenous person, so yes it could
@wovokanarchy Has he ever admitted that he lied? I don't recall reading that anywhere. Everything I've heard him say defends his belief that he has indigenous ancestry. But no record has ever been found through tribal records; am I correct? Is this how he was exposed? Bcause somewhere I read he was indeed an HONORARY member which tells me that it was already a known fact that there was no record. So why the about-face from the council? Can u clear this up?
@vutube379 Get serious. When does a liar ever own up to the fact they've lied? Prisons are full of people who claim they are innocent even when they've been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I can walk down any street in America and ask anyone if they have ''Indian'' blood in their family tree and most likely they will say yes. Is that the criteria now? Emotional belief? I have an honorary membership at Blockbuster Vid. does that mean I'm a movie star? Honorary means jack shit in reality.
@wovokanarchy U didn't answer my question & instead want to focus on the fact that he lied. Maybe it is a lie and maybe HE believes it to be true. I know for a fact he was listed as an honorary member with the tribe & that speaks directly to the fact they already knew their was no record, then they removed him. Why? Why are tribal people of whom many are not even full-blooded & may only be 1/16 native or less, be up in arms because the Mestizo inhabitants are claiming their indigenous lineage?
@vutube379 I suggest you call and ask the United Keetowah Nation that question. Any answer on my part would be speculation. As a tribal nation they have every right to remove his honorary status. It's completely up to themselves who is and who is not a citizen of their tribe. As for the Mexican issue it's the same old story of people trying to lay claim of being indigenous for purely political or selfish reasons. Why weren't the Mexicans claiming this status 20 years ago?Mexicans hate Ndns also.
@wovokanarchy Mestizos have always known though fragmented their heritage & even still practice much of it to this day: we have retained our foods, our religious beliefs which are woven tightly in Catholic rituals and other dieties; many customs 2. Btw, there is at least 30% who are full-blooded indigenous peoples n Mexico alone. It is the Eurocentric politics & practices mostly through indoctrination who have suppressed the truth of our great past; u should know that better than anyone.? Ndns?
@wovokanarchy What is Ndns? Also, at what point do Native Americans stop claiming their indigenous right? How many are actually full-blooded? It's a known fact that many are mixed? I've seen some who look 99% European, but claim to be Native American. Don't worry. Our right to claim our indigenousness doesn't come with a price tag.I often wonder if it is this point that causes worry in the tribal arenas?I find it tragic that NA tribes remain isolated. Worse that NA would ally themselves w/Euros.
@vutube379 It's about family ties and a continuing connection to a recognized people whose ancestry pre-dates Columbus's arrival. If no tribe or family claims you why should the goverment as well?Like I said any clown can pull an indigenous identity right out of their asshole. It's just the same ol' continuing colonization whereby non-Indian people like Ward seem to think that what's Indigenous isn't somehow theirs as well, be it land, culture,religion,or identity. When will the theft stop?
@wovokanarchy Right, like that is even remotely possible considering what happened to the indigenous peoples; it doesn't negate or nullify our ancestry, our ties to the past, and who we are. All u have to do is look into our faces to see our ancestral connection. Unlike the tribes that were sparred in NA, we are not looking for a white government to validate who we are or our right to claim our indigenous ancestry; we are not asking for monetary support or sovereignity; it's irrelavant.
@wovokanarchy How is it the same ol' colonization? How can u even draw that conclusion. 1st, u, by choice, have remained isolated on reservations so that u have no voice in American politics. I have to dig deep to find out the problems u face. It's disadvantageous for NA tribes to practice such protectionism although I can understand in part. I'm not sure sovereignity has helped u or harmed u. U folks should be all over American politics and visible to everyone. We fight for our right to exist.
@vutube379 Theft is a big part of colonization. I suggest you read some books on the subject. So you think it's wrong Indians remain on the last remaining traditional lands that we occupy? What's the alternative? Assimilation? As for political participation, tribes in many states have siezed their new found influence through casino revenues by becoming some of the biggest election financing entities.De-colonization doesn't happen overnight, it will take time to recover 500 years of genocide.
@wovokanarchy We, with indigenous ancestry, aren't the theives so don't assign that label 2 us. We haven't benefitted one iota from the theft ur accusing us of; on the contrary, the reverse is true. This was OUR HOME before colonization and it continues to be OUR HOME to this day.I don't have to read any books on colonization because my family has lived it for the last 600 yrs; that is the part ur not grasping or refuse to see. Assimilation? Maybe in part only to have a voice and presence.
@wovokanarchy I don't think its wrong 2 keep ur lands, but uv remained in the shadows so much so that most Americans don't even acknowledge ur existence. They kno ur out there somewhere, but the truth is that uv almost 0 presence in their consciousness. We are on ur side even though we r rejected, nevertheless, we intend to bring all brown people under colonization out from its oppressive grip through our efforts and collective power. There is no conflict betwn us; our aim is the same.
@vutube379 America has a collective amnesia when it comes to Native Americans and the genocide perpetrated against the tribes. Very similar to holocaust deniers in my opinion. It depends on where your at really, in the eastern part of the states I can see that but out west Natives are very much in the open, doing whatever needs to be done in order to live in fascist U.S.A.
@wovokanarchy It's induced amnesia from cradle to grave.We live in a Eurocentric society that is designed to enslave the spirit & mind by denying us the truth. How else do u maintain control. Imagine growing up thinking ur of no value, no significance,& that ur ancestors were savages.What do u think that does to a child? We'd be better world citizens if our history wasn't kept locked away out of reach. But I see the goal now of our government is to incarcerate us by the 10s of 1000s for money.
@vutube379 Excellent points and all well taken. It still doesn't take away from the fact Ward lied about his ancestry for employment, credibility and profit . I see your point about exposure but unfortunately he exposed Native issues that were detrimental to our cause. He put Indian studies and all minority studies in a negative light. He actually cast doubt on most of Ndn history by his being associated with it. Do you get my point? The issues got lost and his false identity became the issue.
@wovokanarchy For what it's worth, I never felt anything he said was negative toward NA. I'm going to assume you have intimate knowledge which makes it impossible for me to fully understand the issue. If his goal was to exploit for monetary gain then that would be dishonest especially if he exposed issues detrimental to ur cause. I can appreciate your point. U take care. I'm signing off for the night.
this guy is a liar and a scum bag. this piece of crap called the 9/11 victums " LITTLE EICHMANS"....THIS SCUM SHOULD BE CASTRATED. professor my ass....he was fired for faking his work.I am cherokee and this scum is not
As a part native american and part white, I can honestly say that I find Ward Churchill disgusting for using native american ancestry to his advantage. Most people don't even know I'm part cherokee until I tell them. Everything to him is an irrelevant question so why bother asking him anything ever?
"But since Churchill was an America-hating radical, the university left – which claims to honor Indians – was ready to rally behind an Indian imposter because his views were politically correct. "
found out about him in this news article:
A Tale of Two Indians By: David Yeagley | Monday, August 21, 2006
My problem with this is why is a stupid fucking east asian bitch who's fucking people are taking over the world asking him this? Let's say he is a fraud or whatever, it shouldn't be her asking. Her stupid people have more rights and protection than true first nations people. And that's bullshit.
Who cares who is who anymore. We are all One. Imperialism has destroyed many of people and is continuing to do so. Today we are all Native American, We are all Muslim, We are all Hispanic, Black, White, Chechnyan, Asian, and Middle Eastern, etc. Imperialism does not discriminate (only one particular group), neither should we.
@activistapress we r not all one and i hope we wont, not on the basis of racial segregation but for peoples to maintain their own idenity and cultural way of life, mixing will not solve any of the problems and is not the solution
@lion3p0 Maintaining Cultural Identity is a choice of each individual human. Mixing will not solve anything you say, but neither will not mixing, IMHO. This is irrelevant and misses the point of my initial post. I am All for the Freedom of Cultural Identity, my point was that Imperialism is an evil that must be stopped, and that regardless of the origin of this man be it %7 Native 90%Jew, 84%Black, does not matter at this point. We should applaud him and anyone else who is against Imperialism.
@activistapress Even if his very actions are imperialistic against Native American Indians? Claiming an ethnic identity for political, egocentric or economic reasons is imperialisitic. Don't you agree?
@activistapress Is Ward Churchill really against imperialism, or is he just against European Imperialism?I've never heard him speak out against the crimes of the Native Americans, Africans, Muslims, Asians; only by the Europeans.
I say, that anyone who says that the 9/11 attacks were in any way justified, or that America has done anything to warrant such a disaster; that the 9/11 attacks were people "pushing back" against a crime; is a demagogue, and a detractor from society as a whole.
@TuxedoClam Can you point to any ''crimes'' Native Americans have done to any European country or Europeans? Any book or paper on the topic would be greatly appreciated to read.
@wovokanarchy First, there is no shortage of Native American crimes against both Europeans and other Natives. Look up the "Lachine Massacre", go to wikipedia's list of 'Indian massacres' (both against and by the Natives), and watch this: /watch?v=J8RiNRMPZjo
Second, may I point out that the Natives practiced slavery, just like the African Tribals, Muslims and Europeans who first enslaved the Africans the Europeans, primarily Iberians, bought, and at the other end of the world, the Chinese?
@TuxedoClam I admit there existed wars of attrition between the Indigneous populations and the invading settlers whom are squatting on land that isn't theirs Take Israel and Palastine as an example. Israeli's are the innocents and the Palastinians are the ''illegals'' why? Who is white and who isn't? The Lachine War was motivated and blessed by the English against the French, so who is in the wrong? The English won the war against the French.Slavery existed but different than Jim Crow laws in US
@TuxedoClam While 9/11 was an obvious tragedy, was Churchill blatantly wrong in a historical sense? Given, e.g., an almost continuous pattern of invasion, occupation, bombing of mainly poor nations by the U.S. empire, over the last 100 years (despite the U.S.'s degree of democracy)? Is it "bad karma"?
Perhaps his focus on European colonialism/U.S. imperialism is from the reality that over the last 700 years, white racism has been on a worldwide "offensive." Nonwhite "crimes" are less.
@revolution123ize Due to the limitations of the youtube comment system, I'll respond with a PM; as soon as I retrun to a place where I have internet access. Hold on a bit.
@TuxedoClam Got your email. If there was ANY justification for U.S. invasion, it was WW2, i.e., fighting Nazis, Fascists. But above all, it's attempted dominance through monopoly capitalism, cut throat in its bottom line nature. In turn, routine support for many tyrants/elitists willing to sacrifice their countries' interests i.e., the many "commoners," for "fetishistic" privilege, e.g., in poor countries. Saddam Hussein, e.g., supported by Reagan in the 1980s. After, did he stop playing ball?
@revolution123ize First, may I point out that the Reagan administration supported Iraq to counterbalance to post-revolutionary Iran under Ayatollah Khomeini, who ordered members of the Iranian royal guard to carry out the 'Iranian Hostage Crisis", because we admitted an exiled Shah for cancer treatment.
The invasion of Iraq was to depose a tyrant who posed a threat to the West and their interests; there's nothing wrong with extracting oil formerly owned by those threats and selling it.
@TuxedoClam Reagan's supporting Iraq to "counterbalance" a fanatically religious theocracy still contains cynical manauvers to try and maintain the dominating ideology I mentioned previous. Counterbalance? To the point of funding both sides in the Iran-Iraq War, for war profiteering.
There are, of course, varied interests, not just the West's. Conducting an illegal war based on lies w/ one reason to try and monpolize the oil of another sovereign country again reveals that ideology.
@revolution123ize The US funded Iran? Says who? We did sell them arms in the Iran-Contra affair so that they would release Western hostages, but that was about it.
The Iraq War was not illegal. The UN invasion was justified, both morally and legally. The Coalition distributed oil, that used to fund genocide, to companies who could sell it to improve peoples' lives.
The oil, like I said, was a bonus. Hussein was a threat; that reality justified, no, necessitated, invasion, and deposition.
@TuxedoClam Covert U.S. funding, selling arms, was still a contribution while aiding Iraq. Tactical? Yes. Cynical? Yes. Again, for that ideology. Iran-Contra? A hope to release hostages,but, a violation of U.S. policy of an arms embargo against Iran. And funding Contras: Congress prohibited it.
Iraq War: Huge worldwide opposition. UN SC members opposed, but later signed res. 1483, to bring in humanitarian aid. (Continued)
@revolution123ize Lastly, there were not 'over 1 million' Iraqi deaths. Most sources report from 100,000 to 150,000 Iraqi deaths; the vast, vast majority of which were killed by insurgents, especially through the use of WMDs.
Either way, this argument about Iraq is besides my point; nobody is innocent. To ascribe most recent world crimes to whites is ignorant, and considering the power we've had, we've been benevolent.
We can't agree on this point; so this discussion is pointless. Goodbye.
@TuxedoClam Plus, the Bush regime's use of intimidation, economic blackmail, bribes to get reluctant nations to join the "coalition." Bush considering going in w/o UN approval. Inspectors reporting cooperation. Outdated info used to "prove" WMDs. No proof of Hussein connected to 9/11. Oil: Revenues subsidized basic neccessities, helping people. Under economic sanctions, Oil for Food program fed 90% of Iraq's people. About 5,000 U.S. deaths. Over 1 million Iraqi deaths. Depleted uranium use.
First off, what "covert" funding? Second, that still doesn't come anywhere close to comparing to the support we gave to Iraq. Third, would you have rather we do nothing, let those people die, all to maintain an embargo?
I'm going to have to ask for sources to support most of your second comment.
No proof of Hussein connected to 9/11? There is strong evidence that the 9/11 hijackers trained at Salman Pak, an iraqi compound.
What I love is how he doesn't even have the balls to actually answer the question but instead goes off on some hissy fit like a spoiled little girl. Which he looks like with that hair. Isn't he actually Jewish?
You can certainly find whites who denounce G.W. Bush. Right here!! We're not all devils. In fact there were indentured servants who were white. Still poor whites. Being tricked into fighting the rich mans wars. Like now. Yeah politics is a dirty game. I thought he handled himself well. Much better than I would've! Thank you Mr. Churchill ! Oh and one more thing F the haterz!
This egotist does not represent anyone except himself. He does not speak for American Indians. He has never been and will never be of American Indian heritage. He's a white guy who has used and abused Indians to establish a career and a moment of fame.
Why isn't this guy President of the US? In the meantime they'll vote for idiots to run for office. The US is on the verge of collapse anyway....so the world will happily see the US fall apart within some time. I'm very happy with that prospect.
oh, by the way, other than Native Americans accepting him, he's been adopted by a tribe. I can't remember exactly which one, but he's in every way except heritage, a native american. So if people have a problem other than still being mad about an essay he wrote 10 years ago, than I have nothing left to say to you because that is just plain ridiculous, just stop with the immaturity because he is now a native american whether YOU like it or not, because WE accept him as one. its up to us not you.
"Most of us"? Maybe to all the wannabes,old hippies and young radical hipsters who were born with a silver spoon in their collective mouths out there. Yeah, I agree. Ward has written some amazing pieces,I admit, but he does a diservice to that work by lying about his ancestry. There are other well intentioned white writers who write about FN issues but they don't feel the need to take the identity of the subjects who they are writing about. Why Ward felt the emotional need to do so is sad and un
Even if his blood is pure european, I don't mind, he is both bad ass, and short tempered, but he has done more for native americans and other indigenous cultures than pretty much everyone els that isn't indigenous. To most native americans he is one of us, and that's what matters, he was even nominated for favorite Native American of all time. If that doesn't say enough than nothing will.
@AnotherVoiceless How? By writing the victims on 9-11 deserved it and were "little Eichmans''? How does that further the ''cause'' of First Nations' aspirations and dreams? Ward has taken our dreams and ambitions through activism, educational achievements, political sovereignty, etc. and perverted them to his own deluded goal and profession as a writer and educator. "Favorited NA of all time"?? Did you just pull that one out of your ass? "All time"? Greater than Crazy Horse, V. Deloria, B.Frank?
You fail to realize that it's just one essay he wrote about 9-11 in his entire career, he wrote many books on indigenous peoples, such as "a little matter of genocide" and "A Perversion of Justice". and this video has nothing to do with 9-11. Make sure you know what your talking about before you get angry. And that paper, he wrote before 9-11 even happened, and if you listened to him he doesn't say everyone that got killed deserved it, he talks about the people in the world trade
trade center that was organizing mass killings of people in the middle east, mainly Iraq, before the Iraq war was even announced. The people that allowed and organized using depleted uranium in bullets and missiles when dropped in Iraq so that baby's are born deformed, and people get affected by radiation, the people that organized and allowed 50,000 children to be killed in Iraq, before the Iraq war. These people deserved it, just like Eichman deserved to be killed.THINK FOR ONCE
I have read it, and upon re-reading it to try and find what you might of meant out of such a blank statement of a comment, I was wrong about 3 things, the death toll of Iraq children was not 50,000, but 500,000, it was written after 9-11(I mixed up my info), and the people that organized and allowed the genocide deserved it more than just what they did to Iraq, but what was done in other countries and people. If you disagree your oblivious and a moron for thinking mass murders
murders, and the people behind the scenes do not deserve such an attack, do you think the american military gives a shit about the innocent or children in Iraq? no, that's why half a MILLION children under 12 years old died before the Iraq war.And on top of everything, this video and him claiming native american has absolutely nothing to do with that essay.So try answering with a real reply about both the essay and this video.
Apparently Ward Churchill has a problem saying "Hey I'm just a white guy that really digs Natives and am not so fond of of own ancestry." Its really that simple.
There are many things people don't know about racial mixing. I've met many people who are 1/4 Indian but unable to claim it because Indian women who married white men were required to leave their Indian life behind & many Indian children adopted are unable to identify their Indian heritage. Also many Indian people deny their Indian-ness or white-ness.... I know one lady who is 3/4 Indian & does not even know what tribe(s) she belongs to. Therefore there are multiple realities & circumstances.
Incidentally, Ward (is that even your real name?), if GWB was a big-time activist for the rights of white people, didn't look white, and there was absolutely no evidence that he was, in fact, white, then we *would* ask for proof.
Ethnicity is culture, not "blood." This is why Hispanic people can be Black, White, Asian (ex. Filipino), or Indigenous American. In determining ethnicity, culture, self identification, and community are always more important than something as irrelevant as distant blood relatives often are.
@TheLiberationPanda Ridiculous. Just because a dog is born and raised in a stable doesn't mean that dog is a horse. You think ones own ancestors are "irrelavant"? If you really believe that then your truely lost my friend.
@wovokanarchy Ridiculous. Just because there are a few different phenotypes does not mean they are different species. You think one's race is comparable to being a whole other species? If you believe that then you are truly fucking stupid and racist.
@TheLiberationPanda Rubbish. In the natural world all kinds of animals who belong to a single species do not mate or reproduce with one another. Take the bear for instance, a grizzly won't mate with a black bear...or an eagle won't mate with a crow..and on and on. As Sitting Bull said, " It is not necassary for eagles to be crows". Q: If you don't believe in ''race'' how can you accuse one of being a ''racist"?
However, Professor Churchill did make a valid point when he said that people wouldn't have questioned Bush about his racial background. That's so true.
Ward Churchill is not even Native American. They didn't find one single Native American ancestor in his lineage. Why is the man being fake about it? Wouldn't he benefit more by just saying that he's white? i'm not trying to sound racist but white privilege is so sweet!
Fake Indian, Fake Scholar, Fake Intellectual - only a WHITEMAN could think this man is a legitimate representation of an American Indian intellectual. Only a WHITEMAN could care less that someone made a living by telling pretty lies that well intentioned white people wanted to believe. Truth, honour, integrity : WHITE people just don’t get it.
Silly white folks can't even see who's really acting like Bill O'Reilly here - Churchill is pompous, arrogant, contradicting well known facts and making up his own facts and playing the victim all the way. Ol Ward could teach the teaparty how to scream racist whenever someone asks you a difficult question you can't answer.
@moosemeateater Exactly! White people cannot even imagine that they could have been so wrong about a man who is an obvious fake to the uneducated NDNS they consider their inferiors. They are blinded by their whiteness and their sense of superiority so they retreat into delusions that this man is their noble savage savior! Fools!
Are we still talking about this lying thieving talentless little fuckbag? He's a joke, has no right to call himself a historian, he's just a spreader of lies and misinformation.
Ward Churchill is a flipping idiot. Just another asshole from his generation. I grew up listening to his kind of crap. One day my generation will be running this country. When this eventually happens none of this BS will fly. It’s so sad that these people will eventually die living their whole adult lives as unhappy people. We can’t change them, it’s already too late. We just have to start over after they are done screwing up this great country and get everything back on track.
@Kirilltraceur He's fake because he lied about his ancestry. And there was a controversy amound the native americans. And he was a plaguarizer. For which he was fired.
He lied so he could get early tenture. What a small man.
@Kirilltraceur I agree. I have the highest respect for Ward Churchill and the work he has done. Although many whites are "dying to be Indian", they do not make the sacrifices to be so. They are merely cultural bandits. Ward Churchill may not be Native biologically but the spirit that guides him certainly gives him the right to identify as such. Conscious Native people gladly accept him for we recognize spirit AND recognize that the negative "posts" on this page are paid provocateurs. AHO!
@fuklibs Put him in a boxing ring and he's a punching bag. No kicking, scratching, gouging like little girls. Hell I can kick someone in the nuts and they are sure to go down. I'm not defending this wannabe Ward Churchill. He's a white boy so you should support him.
@wovokanarchy Uh, they don't scratch or gouge or kick the groin in the UFC. Franklin knocked out Chuck Liddel with a broken arm! Lets see you do that bad ass!
Oh, another thing they DON'T do is 4 on 1 "fights" like you cowardly mongrels always do. Talk about kicking, ya'll kick & stomp people while they're on the ground defensless.......LOL!
if you took everything stupid and fucked about the 60s and condensed it into one person, you would come up with this lying, sanctimonious waste of space, Ward Churchill. He makes Jimmy Swaggert look honest.
@selenadelos You make valid points but anger not properly used is just energy wasted. Ward is a self-loathing white man who hates his own peoples history.
@wovokanarchy As an Indian, you should understand the power of spirit. And clearly the spirit of the Ancestors speak thru Ward Churchill. Remember ... when Columbus and the other Europeans arrived in N. Amerika, they called everyone they saw over here "Indian" ... both blacks and reds. Maybe a few whites were sprinkled here and there also. Embrace the message of Churchill w/out getting distracted by his human form. Many so-called real Indians carry the "spirit" of Columbus. Stay focused!
@jahkiainc Actually ,if you read Ward's essays he relys on actual Native American sources for his ideas and main points. So I do agree that Ward's ''message'' is a valid and powerful one but it derives from actual people and not some "spirit" that I doubt manifests in Ward. Why would our ancestors "speak" through a white man anyway? We have legitimate First Nation scholars for that. You should read Cook-Lynn where she writes and discusses people who are "emotional Indians"Is this what you mean?
@wovokanarchy Many have read our people's work but have NOT acted on its wisdom. Churchill has remained a consistent warrior in the struggle for our rights ALONG with our First Nation scholars. There is a difference between whites who think its cool to be called Indian and those who actually carry our spirit. The Ancestors know who would be best to deliver their message. People must be educated about what really happened. Conscious people all have a role. Let Great Spirit do its work. AHO!
@jahkiainc You can't say that Indigenous scholars have not ''acted'' on their work. Many have and still do. Laduke, Alfred, Wilkins, Riding-In, White Face, and on and on. So it's disingenous for you to say that. Ward's main activism seems to be the Columbus celebration in Denver, quaint but nothing serious that has any real impact for people on the rez. It seems that you think that even in the 'spirit world' our ancestors are still colonized to rely on a white man to speak for us in this world.
It's obvious the newperson seeks to discredit him because of his heritage. On the other hand he probably used his supposed heritage to bolster his credibility. There's a lot of scam artists in Hawaii. Either way it his research and education should be the focus, not the racist focus of the interviewers. The idea that your genetic heritage constitutes your expertise on a subject is racist. How does excluding a race help it's cause?

@wovokanarchy I find that very curious actually since it was an indigenous person that supported him 100% before attacks on his lineage. What if he IS 100% European? He not only resonates but has an affinity with the indigenous peoples. He's also a scholar, no question. How is he an imposter and delusional?

@vutube379 Who cares if an Indigenous person supported him. I'm sure a lot of Indigenous people supported him before it was revealed he was a perpetrator of identity fraud. I'm sure there are still Indians who support him. What does that have to do his false claims of being a Creek and Cherokee Indian? There is no doubt his scholarship is sound and serves a purpose. But why create a lie just to promote his work and job? He's a walking contradiction and a colonizer + he doesn't know it.Deluded.

@wovokanarchy Hold on a minute. No need to get upset. I'm not trying to pick a fight.

Why wasn't it an indigenous person then who filled that position? Did an indigenous person lose out on the post because he claimed ancestry? Is that why he was shamed by the council?

@vutube379 Who's upset? Well when you say your of a people but it's found out you lied about it; what would you call it? An accident? Do some research on the countless Indigenous scholars and activists who have devoted their careers and life to promoting education about First Nation's peoples. I think Ward still has a role to play in that education but he shouldn't have to lie about his identity to get his message across.I think Ward took his job from an actual Indigenous person, so yes it could

@wovokanarchy Has he ever admitted that he lied? I don't recall reading that anywhere. Everything I've heard him say defends his belief that he has indigenous ancestry. But no record has ever been found through tribal records; am I correct? Is this how he was exposed? Bcause somewhere I read he was indeed an HONORARY member which tells me that it was already a known fact that there was no record. So why the about-face from the council? Can u clear this up?

@wovokanarchy U didn't answer my question & instead want to focus on the fact that he lied. Maybe it is a lie and maybe HE believes it to be true.

Why are tribal people of whom many are not even full-blooded & may only be 1/16 native or less, be up in arms because the Mestizo inhabitants are claiming their indigenous lineage?

@vutube379 I suggest you call and ask the United Keetowah Nation that question. Any answer on my part would be speculation. As a tribal nation they have every right to remove his honorary status.

It's just the same ol' continuing colonization whereby non-Indian people like Ward seem to think that what's Indigenous isn't somehow theirs as well, be it land, culture,religion,or identity. When will the theft stop?
wovokanarchy 8 months ago
@wovokanarchy Right, like that is even remotely possible considering what happened to the indigenous peoples; it doesn't negate or nullify our ancestry, our ties to the past, and who we are. All u have to do is look into our faces to see our ancestral connection. Unlike the tribes that were sparred in NA, we are not looking for a white government to validate who we are or our right to claim our indigenous ancestry; we are not asking for monetary support or sovereignity; it's irrelavant.

@revolution123ize First, may I point out that the Reagan administration supported Iraq to counterbalance to post-revolutionary Iran under Ayatollah Khomeini, who ordered members of the Iranian royal guard to carry out the 'Iranian Hostage Crisis", because we admitted an exiled Shah for cancer treatment.
The invasion of Iraq was to depose a tyrant who posed a threat to the West and their interests; there's nothing wrong with extracting oil formerly owned by those threats and selling it.
TuxedoClam 5 months ago
@TuxedoClam Reagan's supporting Iraq to "counterbalance" a fanatically religious theocracy still contains cynical manauvers to try and maintain the dominating ideology I mentioned previous. Counterbalance? To the point of funding both sides in the Iran-Iraq War, for war profiteering.
There are, of course, varied interests, not just the West's. Conducting an illegal war based on lies w/ one reason to try and monpolize the oil of another sovereign country again reveals that ideology.
revolution123ize 5 months ago
@revolution123ize The US funded Iran? Says who? We did sell them arms in the Iran-Contra affair so that they would release Western hostages, but that was about it.
The Iraq War was not illegal. The UN invasion was justified, both morally and legally. The Coalition distributed oil, that used to fund genocide, to companies who could sell it to improve peoples' lives.
The oil, like I said, was a bonus. Hussein was a threat; that reality justified, no, necessitated, invasion, and deposition.
TuxedoClam 5 months ago
@TuxedoClam Covert U.S. funding, selling arms, was still a contribution while aiding Iraq. Tactical? Yes. Cynical? Yes. Again, for that ideology. Iran-Contra? A hope to release hostages,but, a violation of U.S. policy of an arms embargo against Iran. And funding Contras: Congress prohibited it.
Iraq War: Huge worldwide opposition. UN SC members opposed, but later signed res. 1483, to bring in humanitarian aid. (Continued)

Either way, this argument about Iraq is besides my point; nobody is innocent. To ascribe most recent world crimes to whites is ignorant, and considering the power we've had, we've been benevolent.

"Most of us"? Maybe to all the wannabes,old hippies and young radical hipsters who were born with a silver spoon in their collective mouths out there. Yeah, I agree. Ward has written some amazing pieces,I admit, but he does a diservice to that work by lying about his ancestry. There are other well intentioned white writers who write about FN issues but they don't feel the need to take the identity of the subjects who they are writing about. Why Ward felt the emotional need to do so is sad and un

Even if his blood is pure european, I don't mind, he is both bad ass, and short tempered, but he has done more for native americans and other indigenous cultures than pretty much everyone els that isn't indigenous. To most native americans he is one of us, and that's what matters, he was even nominated for favorite Native American of all time. If that doesn't say enough than nothing will.

@AnotherVoiceless How? By writing the victims on 9-11 deserved it and were "little Eichmans''? How does that further the ''cause'' of First Nations' aspirations and dreams? Ward has taken our dreams and ambitions through activism, educational achievements, political sovereignty, etc. and perverted them to his own deluded goal and profession as a writer and educator. "Favorited NA of all time"?? Did you just pull that one out of your ass? "All time"? Greater than Crazy Horse, V. Deloria, B.Frank?

@wovokanarchy
You fail to realize that it's just one essay he wrote about 9-11 in his entire career, he wrote many books on indigenous peoples, such as "a little matter of genocide" and "A Perversion of Justice". and this video has nothing to do with 9-11. Make sure you know what your talking about before you get angry. And that paper, he wrote before 9-11 even happened, and if you listened to him he doesn't say everyone that got killed deserved it, he talks about the people in the world trade

trade center that was organizing mass killings of people in the middle east, mainly Iraq, before the Iraq war was even announced. The people that allowed and organized using depleted uranium in bullets and missiles when dropped in Iraq so that baby's are born deformed, and people get affected by radiation, the people that organized and allowed 50,000 children to be killed in Iraq, before the Iraq war. These people deserved it, just like Eichman deserved to be killed.THINK FOR ONCE

@wovokanarchy
I have read it, and upon re-reading it to try and find what you might of meant out of such a blank statement of a comment, I was wrong about 3 things, the death toll of Iraq children was not 50,000, but 500,000, it was written after 9-11(I mixed up my info), and the people that organized and allowed the genocide deserved it more than just what they did to Iraq, but what was done in other countries and people. If you disagree your oblivious and a moron for thinking mass murders

@wovokanarchy
murders, and the people behind the scenes do not deserve such an attack, do you think the american military gives a shit about the innocent or children in Iraq? no, that's why half a MILLION children under 12 years old died before the Iraq war.And on top of everything, this video and him claiming native american has absolutely nothing to do with that essay.So try answering with a real reply about both the essay and this video.

There are many things people don't know about racial mixing. I've met many people who are 1/4 Indian but unable to claim it because Indian women who married white men were required to leave their Indian life behind & many Indian children adopted are unable to identify their Indian heritage. Also many Indian people deny their Indian-ness or white-ness.... I know one lady who is 3/4 Indian & does not even know what tribe(s) she belongs to. Therefore there are multiple realities & circumstances.

Ethnicity is culture, not "blood." This is why Hispanic people can be Black, White, Asian (ex. Filipino), or Indigenous American. In determining ethnicity, culture, self identification, and community are always more important than something as irrelevant as distant blood relatives often are.
Ethnicity =/= Race

@wovokanarchy Ridiculous. Just because there are a few different phenotypes does not mean they are different species. You think one's race is comparable to being a whole other species? If you believe that then you are truly fucking stupid and racist.

@TheLiberationPanda Rubbish. In the natural world all kinds of animals who belong to a single species do not mate or reproduce with one another. Take the bear for instance, a grizzly won't mate with a black bear...or an eagle won't mate with a crow..and on and on. As Sitting Bull said, " It is not necassary for eagles to be crows". Q: If you don't believe in ''race'' how can you accuse one of being a ''racist"?

When this eventually happens none of this BS will fly. It’s so sad that these people will eventually die living their whole adult lives as unhappy people. We can’t change them, it’s already too late. We just have to start over after they are done screwing up this great country and get everything back on track.

@Kirilltraceur I agree. I have the highest respect for Ward Churchill and the work he has done. Although many whites are "dying to be Indian", they do not make the sacrifices to be so. They are merely cultural bandits. Ward Churchill may not be Native biologically but the spirit that guides him certainly gives him the right to identify as such. Conscious Native people gladly accept him for we recognize spirit AND recognize that the negative "posts" on this page are paid provocateurs. AHO!

@wovokanarchy As an Indian, you should understand the power of spirit. And clearly the spirit of the Ancestors speak thru Ward Churchill. Remember ... when Columbus and the other Europeans arrived in N. Amerika, they called everyone they saw over here "Indian" ... both blacks and reds. Maybe a few whites were sprinkled here and there also. Embrace the message of Churchill w/out getting distracted by his human form. Many so-called real Indians carry the "spirit" of Columbus. Stay focused!
jahkiainc 1 year ago
@jahkiainc Actually ,if you read Ward's essays he relys on actual Native American sources for his ideas and main points. So I do agree that Ward's ''message'' is a valid and powerful one but it derives from actual people and not some "spirit" that I doubt manifests in Ward. Why would our ancestors "speak" through a white man anyway? We have legitimate First Nation scholars for that. You should read Cook-Lynn where she writes and discusses people who are "emotional Indians"Is this what you mean?
wovokanarchy 1 year ago
@wovokanarchy Many have read our people's work but have NOT acted on its wisdom. Churchill has remained a consistent warrior in the struggle for our rights ALONG with our First Nation scholars. There is a difference between whites who think its cool to be called Indian and those who actually carry our spirit. The Ancestors know who would be best to deliver their message. People must be educated about what really happened. Conscious people all have a role. Let Great Spirit do its work. AHO!
jahkiainc 1 year ago
@jahkiainc You can't say that Indigenous scholars have not ''acted'' on their work. Many have and still do. Laduke, Alfred, Wilkins, Riding-In, White Face, and on and on. So it's disingenous for you to say that. Ward's main activism seems to be the Columbus celebration in Denver, quaint but nothing serious that has any real impact for people on the rez. It seems that you think that even in the 'spirit world' our ancestors are still colonized to rely on a white man to speak for us in this world.
