[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot fault the Europeans, who at the time did not understand the germ nature of disease, for the killing of natives who had no immunity to European diseases. The stories of Europeans deliberately bringing smallpox to natives were true, but they were the exception not the rule. In the 14th Century Europeans nearly all went extinct during the Black Death--who you gonna blame for that? [/quote]

Who cares? Everyone who did whatever bad things you want to list is long dead.

My family came to this continent in 1981. I don't have any responsibility or guilt for something that was done by people centuries ago.

Are you a citizen? Then you are a member of the government that has inherited the treaties with the tribes that are being violated today. Sorry![/quote]
I'm not a member of any government, and I don't have any responsibility, or sense of guilt, for what some people did decades or centuries ago.

You can keep saying I should care about this, and I'll keep telling you I won't.

And there's nothing you can do about it. [/quote]

If you are white, you are responsible.  Period![/quote]

No, we’re not. Period![/quote]
