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 It was more that we infected them than murder

A!though sometimes genocide and infection were mixed:

On the other hand, they gave us syphilis.

@rrb I mean we literally threw small pox infected blankets at them with the intention of murdering them and had countless wars with them and paid money for indian scalps.... infection may have been a big part of it, but it was murder all the same.
