Have South American natives inherited a legacy of violent blood shed?

I watched a National Geographic special the other day on NetFlix. It was about the Mayan culture in South America and Mexico. This documentary was about several anthropologist who took it upon themselves to decipher the ancient hieroglyphics that covered the buildings and walls of the decaying Mayan structures. It was quite ironic how the anthropologists romanticized the undisturbed culture of the Mayans and the harm (they say) Spanish priests brought to their way of life. Well, according to the history of their “civilization” these people lived in constant conflict and fear. War and bloodshed was a common community concern. The various tribes were in constant power struggles and on top of that they had to appease their hungry God’s with the blood of their own children. Then the Spaniards came in and enforced a new religion that brought about order and civility. “Oh what a shame.” Were they not happy living in there old hostile culture? Now the anthropologists are reintroducing the history and texts of the Mayan “Utopia” to the Mayan descendants that exist today.

In modern American history, our complacency when it comes to border security has opened a very clear window into the volatile culture of the Mexican drug cartels. I believe that the spirit of the Mayan people lives on today as a legacy of corruption, power struggles, turf wars and the unspeakable barbaric murders that are a daily occurrence along our border with Mexico. The Christian box that the Spaniards tried to force the natives into many years ago, may have bought a season of peace and order, but without a true change of heart, the ways of their Mayan fathers has become manifest once again. Now America willfully reaps the consequences as the Democrats try to cultivate Latino votes to secure their power for years to come.
