Their culture was a world of a difference from ours and any other tribe of the Western hemisphere, and what was depicted in Apocalypto did in fact occur.

The only person who truly understands is "anonymous". We have to remain anonymous because of the risks of being sued. If you feel Mel Gibson missed the mark, please make a film and help WHITEY understand the "truth".

There has never been any wrong doing by any other race. There were no human sacrifices in Mesoamerica, there were no black slave traders, there is no black on black genocide in Darfur, the Aztecs and other tribes just sat together and had tea.

Mel Gibson strikes again... and this time he can't even blame his horrid bigotry on the fact that he was intoxicated (like he did when he made anti-Semitic comments a while back)... nasty, all of it.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746338593029751476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623787.post-1166730375352173512006-12-21T09:46:00.000-10:002006-12-21T09:46:00.000-10:00Hello Joy.

He's clearly a racist and his agenda to spread his poison beliefs is transparently obvious.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you.<BR/><BR/>From, CarolCarol Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565500530099308875noreply@blogger.com
