Robin Hood's "Bad Rap"
Just as they “got it wrong” regarding the Thanksgiving Story, which wasn’t the “largesse” or the Indians they were celebrating, but were merely inviting them as “friends.” It was the communist nature of their original government that led to the deaths of half the colony, including the governor’s wife. In the Robin Hood story, it wasn’t JUST “the rich” Robin Hood stole from to give to the poor; “the rich” in this story was THE GOVERNMENT (THE GOVERNMENT), in the person of the Sheriff of Nottingham he stole from, to GIVE BACK the things this government STOLE from them. The GOVERNMENT unfairly used the labor of these “serfs” for their own good, and they “partied” and “lazed around,” “lording it over the serfs. As usual, the story that survives aggrandizes “po folks” while making the “bad guy” always “the rich,” saying nothing about HOW they got rich, or just WHO the "rich" were.. (Just common sense)
