Rich Hoarding Opportunities? ‘The Bob Dylan of Genocide Apologists’
- The rich are hoarding opportunities:
America
has a social mobility problem. Children born in 1940 had a 90% chance
of earning more than their parents. For children born in 1984, the odds
were 50-50.
Most accounts of this trend focus on the breakdown of
upward mobility: It’s getting harder for the poor to become rich. But
equally important is the decline of downward mobility: The rich,
regardless of their intelligence, are becoming more likely to stay that
way.
- Any survivor of genocide will tell you that disbelieving or dismissing
their experience is a continuation of genocide. A genocide denier is an
apologist for the next genocide. As for Mr. Handke, The Irish Times
reported, “When critics pointed out that the victims’ corpses provided
evidence of Serb atrocities, the writer replied: ‘You can stick your corpses up your ass!’”

The truth about Jackson’s savagery was just as disturbing as the fake news. After a particularly bloody battle in 1814, Andrew Jackson’s men counted the dead Indians by cutting off their noses. They collected 557 noses. and... (this comment) Jackson ran an ad in the Nashville Gazette, in October, 1804, for the capture of a runaway slave, which stated that in addition to the reward, he would pay an extra $10 per 100 lashes (up to 300), to anyone who willing to inflict them upon his miscreant property. He was known to hold a vengeful lifetime grudge against anyone whom he felt had slighted him, regardless of how minor the supposed offense. His betrayal the Choctow tribe, whom he persuaded to become American allies over the British during the war of 1812, culminated in the “Indian Removal Act” (Trail of Tears), of which he took personal responsiblity to see implemented, resulted in the death of thousands of men, women and children. It’s no surprise that the current occupant of the Wh
Daniel H. Wilson, PhD (Cherokee), is the author of several books, including the New York Times bestseller Robopocalypse and the forthcoming The Andromeda Evolution The Truth Is Out There Writing truthfully is an act of bravery. It takes courage to put words into the world, knowing they will be judged and you along with them. The more truth there is to a story, the more powerful it is, and the more vulnerable the one who wrote it. I am proud that every piece collected here represents a facet of truth, contributed by a group of writers who each are unique, talented, and courageous. Some of the stories in this issue of TCJ Student paint pictures of fleeting moments of melancholy or happiness, while others capture the span of years that it takes trees to root. Some turn outward into the world to thrill with whip-crack snaps of violence, and others fold inward to ponder the patterns of thinking that can define a people.
