[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread cracks me up.

[b]Native Americans, who mostly call themselves Indians, aren't a monolithic group of people. Tribes fought tribes and drove tribes off lands and were just as warlike as any people anywhere in the world.[/b] So what tribe owned the land in the first place? Because they just replaced whoever was there before.

Nor am I sure why some people think borders are racist. I lived for decades outside the US in non white countries and people were certainty very protective of borders and strong cultural identities. [/quote]

Why do people say things like this? Who cares? How is this relevant to colonizers? It doesn't excuse it. [/quote]

The 13 colonies were decades ago, literally centuries ago and before the birth of this country.  Why are you talking about the colonists?[/quote]

Because that is how this country that I live it was founded? I would think that is obvious. There are literally people who revel in being descended from pilgrims. Entire societies of people who have had to prove their lineage to those people. And we are responsible, as a country, for our actions, past, present, and future. I'm not responsible for what other countries do but I do support my own taking steps to right past wrongs.

Are you always obtuse?[/quote]
