The presentation and screening event of my award-winning documentary film, “The Sand Creek Massacre”, had a standing room only audience. Questions afterwards were penetrating and abysmal about the atrocities that took place during the massacre. The fine point of my appearance was that racism in America is a cancer. It continues to eat away at the heart of the collective consciousness. Racists/bigots are the cancer. All human beings are equal. Education is a powerful weapon here, and once those who believe they are better than others learn and integrate that into their daily thinking, then, the collective consciousness can become stronger and more vital.

Abu Kamel, living in the Arabian Peninsula, commented on the Islamic Awakening Forum about U. S. Marines who urinated on Taliban dead bodies. Using the Sand Creek Massacre as his example, Kamel wrote that “America has no morality.” He references Award-Winning Writer/Filmmaker Donald L. Vasicek’s Sand Creek Massacre website, http://www.sandcreekmassacre.net, in which he says the Sand Creek Massacre was one of America’s “military atrocities”, and ends by writing, “This is America’s legacy to the world.”

Vasicek said this is a red flag for Americans. Juxtaposing urination on dead bodies to the Sand Creek Massacre shows that America might want to take stock of their values and morals. While urinating on dead bodies is an isolated incident committed by arrogant U. S. marines that show disrespect, which was fear-based, the Sand Creek Massacre was a military attack on people they felt were a threat to them, which was fear-based, both acts were based on ignorance.

Americans need to come together. This means that all cultures, races, religions, etc. must join together to restore America to a position of respect and knock off the bully and thug image that was exacerbated during the Bush Administration.
