The Native Americans were here ten thousand years before the British arrived.
Before the British, true. But if you keep up with the science journals, you know that accepted ‘history’ is getting rewritten all the time. European remains have been found along the Eastern seaboard that predate the accepted date of native Americans by tens of thousands of years.
But that’s irrelevant. Native Americans were hardly peace loving utopians. The fought, killed, and warred with each other. Those that won turf battles took the land.
That doesn’t mean Native Americans didn’t get a raw deal from the white man. I find it ironic though that those more so aligned with the PC argument are also more in line with a liberal inclination when in comes to politics. It wasn’t white people that lied and screwed the red man out of his lands, it was the government in Washington.
The same government many of you want made ever more powerful, the same government responsible for true oppression forced upon native Americans living on reservations.
Typical. You bitch about words but defend the source of true oppression. Give em bigger sticks and stones, but dammit, take away those hurtful names.
