Media ignores mass killings of Amerikan Indians in its reporting!
ORLANDO, Florida (PNN) - June 13, 2016 - The tragic mass shooting at the popular Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida early Sunday morning resulted in at least 50 dead, including the shooter, and 53 others injured.
The national media were quick to label it the “deadliest mass shooting” in Amerikan history.
Amerikan Indians responded on social media that the media failed to consider Wounded Knee where some 300 men, women and children were killed a few days after Christmas in 1890. Also not mentioned was the Sand Creek massacre in 1864 where between 70 and 180 Cheyenne and Arapaho were massacred. It is estimated that two-thirds of the slain were women and children.
Many were clear they were not attempting to take away from Sunday’s tragedy and the loss to the families of the victims, but thought the media should respect Amerikan Indian history - even though it is not pleasant.
