[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By this logic it's offensive to get married in almost any historical venue.  Glen Echo Park?  Nope, it was segregated until the 60s.  The Willard Hotel?  Good luck getting a room there if you were black or Asian back in the day.  How about anywhere in the continental 50 states since we stole all this land from the Indians.  Wheres does the madness end?[/quote]

Nowhere, since the "Indians" stole the land from the pre-Indians.[/quote]

Dear God, you are ignorant. Do you really believe there were some mythical white people here before the Indians?[/quote]

NP here. Be careful calling people ignorant if you yourself aren’t up to date on archaeological discoveries.

In short, modern native Americans certainly share ancestry with the earliest settlers, but there may have been multiple groups of humans and Neanderthals here, dating back to 130,000 years ago.

Yup.

It is funny to see that the most aggressive posters here are often the most ignorant.[/quote]

Wait... those articles don’t say that modern natives’ ancestors stole the land. Only that they came later. It seems much, much later. No invasions with military forces like the English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Not concerted efforts through legislation or the courts to deprive an existing population of their land. [/quote]
