Herman Lehmann Quotes
I learned to hate my own people and their effeminate ways.
Lehmann was captured by the Apache when he was 11 and brought up as an Apache brave. He went on raiding and war parties, killed and scalped other whites, and represents a good example of the physiological conditioning that young people are susceptible to if brought up in other cultures. Also it shows that values and cultural characteristics are learned and not products of birth and genes.

by giving up raiding and war parties. The Indian nations of America were as diverse as the different peoples of Europe. Many tribes were farmers and cattle raisers. Some tribes traditionally were always engaged in hostilities of war, albeit these were usually small raids or war parties. For a culture where one “became a man” by going on a raid, the idea of a peace treaty with the whites in the area was difficult to accept. Enemy Indian tribes had been removed to other reservations and could not venture out easily. The result was there was no one to raid but the whites. Peace with whites meant no raids, and no raids meant no right of passage. No one could become a war chief if there were no wars. Peace was an enormous cultural inhibitor for some tribes.
This quotation illustrates what a misogynist Limbaugh was. An Italian “study” claimed that there was a difference in penis size. The study was never replicated and the results are very doubtful. However, the notion that the cause and responsibility for male sexual size shrinkage is feminism is so physiologically absurd that his irrationality over gender issues becomes clear.
Herman Lehmann was captured as a child by Native Americans. He lived first among the Apache and then the Comanche but eventually returned to his family later in life. The phenomenon of a white child raised by Indians made him a notable figure in the United States. He published his autobiography, Nine Years Among the Indians in 1927.
