Letter to the editor: Governor wrong to apologize for Sand Creek

I say Gov. Hickenlooper is wrong to apologize for the Sand Creek Massacre. I do not accept any guilt or responsibility for what happened 150 years ago.

The Indians and Federal Troops are all long gone. Hickenlooper is simply wrongly promoting collective guilt and reinforcing the divide and conquer tactic of racism, and he is therefore a race baiter!

Will the Indians now apologize for their savage murdering of the Hungate and Deitemann families in June of 1864? I challenge Gov. Hickenlooper and the Indian leadership to meet me in front of the monument to the murdered settlers at the Kiowa courthouse in Elbert County anytime!

I reject the governor’s apology as racist and divisive!
