It’s A Warrior Thing. You Wouldn’t Understand.
WE INDIANS are supposed to hate the white man. Everyone tells me this. I’ve heard it from whites, blacks and even from Indians.
Well, folks, I hate to disappoint you, but I like white people
just fine.
To tell the truth, I rather admire them and their fascinating
history.
Oh, I know what you’re thinking. "Yeagley! How can you say that?
How can you admire a people who slaughtered your ancestors, gave
smallpox to those left alive, herded them onto reservations, made them
all drunks, and as the final indignity sold their turquoise mines to the
Japanese?"
Well, the way I figure it, anyone who could whip our Indian
behinds like the white man did deserves our highest respect. And anyone
who can whip a Comanche (my tribe) deserves the Medal of Honor.
I admire a man who can beat me. I dare say, deep inside all
Indians at least those who are still warriors at heart there is a
special admiration for the white man.
