So what is everyone doing on the day we celebrate murdering a bunch of native americans, and then them being nice to us anyway so they feed us, and then we returned the favor by murdering the rest of them off anyway? Turkey? Turkey seems like an appropriate celebration for that....
@freemo maybe read https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Empire-of-the-Summer-Moon/S-C-Gwynne/9781416591061 and realize the native Americans where pretty well equipped and in practice of wiping out entire tribes of each other before we ever got here. Tit for tat blame doesn’t do anyone any good all human history is horrible, looking at it from this day and age.
@jasonesman I have no idea what you rpoint is... Yes of course they engage in wars with eachother, I never claimed they were saints. That doesnt justify a campaign of extermination on our part, full stop.
@jasonesman Its easy to say when you;'ve nearly exterminate a people and soved them into small reservations with slum like conditions and no resources to sell ... yea at that point the victor saying "Ok lets just forgive and forget and move on from here". Forgiveness comes with actions that lead to redemption, I havent seen that in our history or our present.
@freemo I’m not saying anything people in the past have done is good nor am I defending it but I’m not mad because your ancestor hit my ancestor on the head with a club in the cave days… my grandmother lived on an reservation in Ada ok her life wasn’t easy but again get out of the past make a better future for all human kind. What she told me to do…
@freemo that’s simply the point no justification on either side it is the past why can’t we move forward, admit yeah the past was messed up no saints and try to be better humans.
