We didn’t “steal” their land, we took it fair and square by kicking their butts.


The Indians were doomed once European mariners started sailing the Atlantic. It is economics as much as anything else. How many acres does it take to feed an Indian family for a year in comparison to a European and later American family? We drove them to lands we didn’t want or couldn’t use. They got free use of the Great Plains until we figured out how to farm them.

The Indians got screwed, no argument, but I can’t imagine things working out well for them once the New World was discovered by Europeans.

I think it’s because it wasn’t taken from the top 1% and big corporations.

See, now he couldn’t say things like this if he was under contract with an NFL team. Playing again would just choke off his cash flow. :)

1. The land was pretty much uninhabited (it still is).

2. If we hadn’t, someone else would have settled it.

3. The indigenous people were composed of warring tribes who killed each other.

4. If Christians had not settled North America the world today would likely look much differently...in a bad way.

Idiot has gone completely off the rails... I actually hope he loses everything and lives under a bridge soon, just so he can either immigrate to the Socialist Country of his choice or get a grip on reality.

There are no indigenous people in the USA. Everyone came from somewhere else.

Looks like the indigenous people had taken it by force from other indigenous people. Everyone forgets that. So....... which indigenous people does it belong to?

Not just that, the Aztecs are said to have had a prophets about their end and it just happened to be when Cortez showed up.

So let me ask you, if Europeans had showed up later what would the elites of that very violent culture have done?

“Sorry, it seems we were wrong!” or “We have appeased the gods and gained their blessing!”

I’m betting the latter. How far could their armies have moved with another 50 years thinking they had the blessing on them? Or even another hundred? Would what was left of the Missippean culture have had Aztec pyramids built over their skulls all along the Mississippi?

He hasn’t heard of the Moors?

Even the ancient Philistines conquered ‘their’ land from the Avim.

He’s deluded. The indigenous people are still here. By far, most of them are mixed with the rest of the population and enjoying longer, more comfortable lives. Deal with it.
