Comments on: AFA removes article at odds with Bryan Fischer on Native Americans; Update: Original article also removed https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/02/10/afa-removes-article-at-odds-with-bryan-fischer-on-native-americans/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 30 May 2018 17:58:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.2 By: BobbiCW https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/02/10/afa-removes-article-at-odds-with-bryan-fischer-on-native-americans/#comment-77670 Wed, 30 May 2018 17:58:01 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=8597#comment-77670 Another case of “don’t like what it says about us so we’ll simply ignore it, erase it, and pretend it never happened.” How about taking a little personal responsibility and doing a little self-reflection for a change? As someone once said I’ve never heard of a topic that’s so dangerous it can’t be discussed.

Someone please explain what part was the offensive part of his article because after reading the entire article and considering everything in its context within the article, I did not see what the big deal is. Maybe Mr. Friedeman’s article will shed some light on this for me. 🙂

The Trail of Tears, for instance, cannot be viewed in any other way but an atrocity.

The reason I “missed it” is probally because I have a different “set of eyes” or way of viewing much of history than you do. Thank you for the two additional links, I will take a look at them.

For starters, Fischer’s articles are historically inaccurate. He then glosses over the evils of forced relocation as some kind of judgment against Native Americans. The entire tone is supremacist. Not sure how you missed that.

Normally, I would say Fischer is best ignored, but in this case Warren, I think you (and Elijah) have done a good job in getting the article pulled. And hopefully, getting AFA to re-think their association with Fischer (although, I won’t hold my breath on that).
