Genocidal??????????

I think it's an ancient little rhyme to that used to be used to teach little kids to count!

Genocidal???? ....LOL! ROFLOL!!

What about this one?

Ten little Indians going out to dine;
One went and choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little Indian boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.

Eight little Indian boys traveling to Devon;
One got left behind and then there were seven.

Seven little Indian boys gathering up sticks;
One chopped himself in half and then there were six.

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little Indian boys going in for law;
One got in chancery and
Then there were four.

Four little Indian boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little Indian boys walking to the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Indians playing with a gun;
One shot the other and then there was one.

One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself
...and then there were none.

That last line????? Did you make that up? ...just to create some kind of controversy?

Baron Max

No little indian boys hanging out tonight
There was just a white boy who wanted to fight

Four little, three little, two little Indians
One little Indian boy.:( :bawl: Not so much genocidal as disparaging and racist. It was written in the 1860's for a minstrel show and it's about a bunch of drunk Native Americans. Here's the original:

Dedicated to Master Frank Dixey Winner
"Ten Little Injuns" (1866)
by Septimus Winner
Comic Song and Chorus
Sung with Immense Applause by
Mr. E. F. Dixey

1.
Ten little "Injuns" standin' in a line,
One toddles home and then there were nine;
Nine little "Injuns" swingin' on a gate,
One tumbled off and then there were eight.

1st CHORUS
One little, two little, three little, four little,
five little "Injun" boys;
Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little,
ten little "Injun" boys.

2.
Eight little "Injuns" never heard of heav'n,
One "kick'd the bucket" and then there were seven;
Seven little "Injuns" cuttin' up their tricks,
One broke his neck and then there were six.

(1st CHORUS)

3.
Six little "Injuns" kickin' all alive,
One went to sleep and then there were five;
Five little "Injuns" on a cellardoor,
One tumbles in and then there were four.

(1st CHORUS)

4.
Four little "Injuns" out upon a spree,
One dead drunk and then there were three;
Three little "Injuns" out in a canoe,
One tumbles overboard and then there were two.

(1st CHORUS)

5.
Two little "Injuns" foolin' with a gun,
One shot t'other and then there was one;
One little "Injun" livin' all alone,
He got married and then there was none.

(1st CHORUS)

6. [ENCORE Verse]
This little "Injun" with his little wife,
Lived in a wigwam the balance of his life;
One daddy "Injun" and a mommy "Squaw"
Brought up a family of Ten "Injun" more.

2nd CHORUS
One little, two little, three little, four little,
five little "Injun" more;
Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little,
ten little "Injun" more.

And apparently the latter adaptations of the song are just as ignominious.

The rhyme metamorphosed in England, the United States, and Germany into Ten Little Niggers, Ten Little Indians, The End of Ten Little Negroes, and And Then There Were None. The lines of the rhyme vary from decade to decade, and country to country.

Thank you, I came across it somewhere else as an anti Native American post.

Don't worry, they mean Native Americans, not the good kind of Indian.

You forgot the verse where the little indian boy got hopped up on firewater and scalped a white woman.

Probably after, but who's counting?
