Killing Indians doesn’t make you a good boy
When the film The Roaring Twenties premiered in 1939, the world was a different place. Let’s take this scene, for instance. This child’s mother asks him if he’d been a good boy, and he tells her that he has, simply because he killed three Indians that day.
What’s most horrifying about this conversation is that the child’s answer satisfied her mother so much that she hugged him in response. It’s so sad to remember that there was a time when Native Americans were treated as disposable props because no one considered them people.
