If Anglo-America turns this land over to blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Middle Easterners and other foreign peoples, for the Indian, it will be like losing this country for the second time. We have had generations to reconcile ourselves to white America. But we do not know these new people who are coming. We fought no battles with them, made no treaties with them, and have no reason to accord them any special respect.

When exactly did blacks become "new people" to this land. The average black American can probably trace his or her roots back further on this land than anyone else besides the American Indians. Once the shipping of slaves from Africa ended 200 years ago, there were no Africans arriving in NY harbor and immigration from majority black nations today is minuscule compared to Asian and Latino lands. And I guess this guy is not familiar with the Buffalo Soldiers who gained the respect of the Indians in battle long ago or the many Indian tribes who took in runaway slaves. I think this guy has been smoking too much of the peace pipe.

I think he was saying it was "whites" that fought and won over the Indian.
