So according to that article one recorded attempt with two blankets and a handkerchief and no evidence it even worked. So why are you bitching about it 200 years after the fact and claiming it as historical fact when no one can even say if it worked?

It worked. The correspondence made it very clear.

It’s also not clear whether or not the attempt at biological warfare had the intended effect. According to Fenn’s article, the Native Americans around Fort Pitt were “struck hard” by smallpox in the spring and summer of 1763. “We can’t be sure,” Kelton says. Around that time, “we know that smallpox was circulating in the area, but they [Native Americans] could have come down with the disease by other means.”

Historian Philip Ranlet of Hunter College and author of a 2000 article on the smallpox blanket incident in Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies, also casts doubt. “There is no evidence that the scheme worked,” Ranlet says. “The infection on the blankets was apparently old, so no one could catch smallpox from the blankets. Besides, the Indians just had smallpox—the smallpox that reached Fort Pitt had come from Indians—and anyone susceptible to smallpox had already had it.”

So I'll ask the question again: Why are you bitching about two blankets and a handkerchief 200 years after an event like it's the most egregious crime in human history when no one can say if it even worked as biological warfare? For me the reason why you and mostly leftists constantly bring this stupid and insignificant story up is because it's useful as a libel against Whites. So hundreds of years of brutal war between European colonizers and Natives becomes 'Dem Evil Whites tried to infect the poor Injuns' because that's the narrative that's most useful as an anti-White cudgel. That's why I find it so strange to hear repeated here like it matters or anyone should care.

I am attempting to keep an objective view on things.­ The English were very ruthless imperialists. They've been like that ALL OVER THE WORLD. Not just here.

I have no agenda, other than a balanced view of things. I can't go "whites can do no evil" and call myself an individual interested in objectivity and truth. I am white and very proud of my whiteness, but to think that because somebody is white, that makes them instantly above reproach is simple fanaticism, extremism and delusional racism.

I am well aware of the war against whites. But if we take the blankets, it was ATTEMPTED to give the Amerindians smallpox. OK so call it ATTEMPTED genocide. Does that make you feel much better? Still think whites can do no harm? Winston Churchill? No? Whatever, dude.

Two blankets and a handkerchief is in your 'objective and balanced' view of the world an 'attempted genocide'. Dear me it's so pathetic. I mean even the Jews can come up with giant concentration camps, poisoned dogs and rollercoasters of death. You've got enough linen for a poor single man as testimony for this alleged 'genocide'.

You're not objective you're anti-White.

The objective and reasonable thing to do would be to put this incredibly insignificant event -- which you have repeatedly LIED ABOUT -- into the proper perspective and realize how meaningless it is in the grand scheme of things. For you though it's very important because you're just another anti-White person. Another commenter made the great point in another post about the veneration of the Black woman who chewed out some spa employees over a 'trans' person being in the ladies locker room. Sometimes we're so indoctrinated by anti-White narratives that even when we think we've left them behind they pop up from time to time.

The narrative you have put forward is ridiculous and an anti-White blood libel. The only reason YOU care about it is because anti-White scholars have decided that the wickedness of Whites alone should be the focus of all historical investigation at the expense of broader context.

You have to throw off the shackles of the anti-White system and not repeat their mantras.

You really don't know me, do you. You are 100% wrong in all this.

So I looked up ONE article about ONE instance of this being done. And in this ONE instance, it may or may not have worked. It's still attempted genocide. By whites.

Since you are so interested in the whole question, I suggest you thoroughly investigate all the times this was done, how many times it worked, and then come back and report with your conclusions.

My point is, white people can do bad things too. If you can't accept that, then there is no discussion to be had. AT ALL.

Of course I don't know you. You're a stranger on the internet all I have is your words which I'd find from any undergraduate who just read his first Zinn book.

It's still attempted genocide. By whites.

Dear me if you go by your standards every single conflict in human history from the rather mild conflict over the Falklands to the utterly destructive An-Lu-Shan rebellion was an attempted 'genocide'. Giving a population already infected with small-pox some blankets isn't 'genocide'. This is just lunacy. In war you try to kill your enemies. Grow up. (Also love how you're so eager to use that ridiculous, Jew invented and overused and abused term.)

Since you are so interested in the whole question, I suggest you thoroughly investigate all the times this was done, how many times it worked, and then come back and report with your conclusions.

Like I said I couldn't care less. We were fighting savage, merciless brutes and they gave every bit as good as they got. You only care because you're anti-White.

My point is, white people can do bad things too.

No shit. You still haven't answered the question why anyone should care.

If you can't accept that, then there is no discussion to be had. AT ALL.

I accept acts I don't accept or agree how significant they are. You think they're important because, apologies on repeating myself, you've been indoctrinated in anti-White blood libels.

STOP HALLUCINATING.

OK maybe my use of "genocide" is a bit strong, although history says... Yeah, whites pretty thoroughly genocided the Amerindians. We didn't really HAVE TO come here, you know.

I'm not saying it's a terrible thing, our civilization was much better than theirs.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That's one article about one attempt, but there are more documented ones. If you want to dissect the entire question, and thoroughly research how many are recorded, and how many seem to have worked, be my guest.

I'm not going to do such an analysis however. If you do prove me wrong in this, I will consider myself educated. Thanks.

I'm not trying to win a debate with you OK. I don't want to 'own' you or just be right. I'm also not trying to just be an asshole I think you're repeating anti-White propaganda and that's what I'm interested in not being proven right. I can't control the facts but how they're spun into a narrative is a massive concern and IMO you've swallowed a profoundly left-wing and anti-White narrative.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

You're wrong. I spend most of my time on here denouncing that anti-white propaganda.
