Exactly the same attitude - people don't know if those native Americans have a legal right to it but even if they do they should give it to us because we need it. Or we'll just take it anyway & kill anyone who opposes us
Controlling school curriculum, banning books, private schools helps them to frame history as pioneers, discovery, manifest destiny - the European legacy of invasion, deception, land grabbing. Time for new stories that counter those harmful myths. Time to respect sovereignty, time to respect humans.
The real reason for the revolution in 1776 was this Royal Proclamation that said all the land belonged to the Native People except if they “sold it” through treaty.

so yes I agree that capitalism is evil and medical science constantly completes sentences by repeating one first law of thermodynamic evolution: #will 1+1 = ✌🏼? https://msf.org
I don't think it was any of my antecedents but yeah, a bunch of people took what they wanted because they could. Genocide and slavery and biological warfare ensued.
✋ The fact that they are still doing the same sh*t just proves that, not only did they not learn anything from it, but they just don’t care. Why am I not surprised?
There's a TV series called "The Son" with Pierce Brosnan. It ran 2 seasons and well worth the watch: it shows how large swaths of Texass were appropriated from Mexican families criminally by white courts.
They are terrified, especially right now with all the migrants, that all the horrors of the past will visit them ten fold. They fail to realize, we just want to exist. Sigh. Eat the rich.
Abraham Lincoln initially believe in leaving slavery in place even though he personally opposed it. Then he achieved constitutional amendments freeing all slaves and giving them full civil rights....but.....who can possibly be interested in all that when a short meme will do?
they had two weapons
guns & disease
I hope everyone realizes that filthy don is clueless about the duties of a potus

just ignore everything he says
that's how I'm going to handle the next 4 years

Agree. An ancient crime, never addressed. Same here in Canada, and I am an inheritor of that process and the privileges granted by it (as a white person, but born here).
I never quite know what to do with my emotions on this. I acknowledge, do my best to show respect.
100%. They put the native Americans on reservations of what they thought was the most useless land in the country, until surprise! Guess where all of that oil was found?
YES: and I'm pretty sure that my ancestors, who were Pennsylvania Dutch (German) farmers, stole their land from Native tribes. It's my shame that my existence is built on a "land grant" that enabled my ancestors to thrive, though they were far from rich. So much wealth built on Native losses!
Funny. The native spirit tolerantly accepted European differences with curiosity, without hostility, despite the dangers the European presence brought to their people. Conversely, the white man has greeted every group of migrants with the arrogant scorn so prevalent among white world leaders.
And yet we still have American media normalizing a threat of INVASION (real, not that nonsense at the southern border) and CONQUEST as simple "territorial expansion".
Maybe so, but I’m damn sick of it. If Trump tries his expansionist Nazi crap, we take to the streets in protest. I was there for the Vietnam demonstrations, I’m ready to go again!
While Trump is less than mediocre and deranged, I would have left that out as it would apply to any white man who stole land; it can also imply a negative connotation to the native people who were the victims.
Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about needing Greenland for the security of the United States. Greenland has trillions of dollars worth of mineral wealth, and Trump has figured out a way to get his grubby paws on some of it.
Agreed and I hate that any of my Scottish ancestors (not necessarily by blood) may have played a part in it. Mind you we’re still being ruled by England. 😏
Spreading deadly germs and shooting people with guns does not require intelligence. Nor does being greedy and using said guns to force people to work for free. I’d argue that using “mediocre” to describe the above behavior is actually rather generous.
Please put your Monday Morning Quarterback History back into the historical context of the time. So tired of people putting 21st century morality, knowledge and norms into something that happened hundreds of years ago. Like it or not, Europeans at that time had better technology. That's all I said.
Having better technology has never made people better than mediocre, whether that’s in the 16th or the 21st century. Better technology just amplifies who we already are.
The original post is relevant because our president-elect just threatened to do it today, not centuries ago.
The President elect says all kinds of stupid shit as a red herring. And you bit like a tuna. And I'm a never Trumper so don't misconstrue that like you did my historical reference.
Well that first sentence is something we definitely agree on. The rest of it I’m just going to ignore because I was responding to your comment on the original post, not Trump.
What's really disheartening is I wasn't taught the slaughter of native Americans in school.
It should be taught in every school as it is American history

It's a Grift. His next move is to name it the Golf of Trump.
🇩🇰💙💪🏼😊
Right now it's then clinging on to power

Enjoy your day.
Yeah. Traditionally, that's kind of been our "thing".

I always like what you say
