The point I was trying to make is simple. This nation does not have what could be called “clean hands” as far as things go with the people that were already living here when a lot of our ancestors showed up.
The smallpox blanket stuff, yeah, its a pile of horseflop. But that does not take away from the other stuff that was actually done.

Nobody does. Besides, it’s a fallacy to think that one must have “clean hands” before you can speak up about the wrong doings of others. That’s the road to moral equivalency and eventually, no moral standards at all.
