Economy

I'm not arguing with you, just the author, to wit, "The problem with eliminationism isn't that it is simply unpleasant or ugly or even uncomfortable discourse, which is what can often be said of the Left's frequently charged rhetoric." I call bullshit right there, and I'd love to see how he backs that bland assertion up. Even Mother Jones and The Nation are tame little pussycats when you compare them to right wing talk radio. If the "frequently charged rhetoric" of the left had anything to do with the power structure in this country, we'd have a hell of a better country to live in and Jim Crow II would not be a problem.

The only good thing about Eliminationism is that it usually fails, usually miserably. Disease was more of a factor in eliminating smaller tribes in the Americas than the later policy of kidnapping children and putting them into boarding schools was. I know, I've met some survivors and many of them refuse to speak English to this day.
