That’s kinda like being asked to apologize for being white.

His Heart wasn’t in it ?

[mrmeyer]

Inferior cultures conquered by superior cultures nothing to apologise for

The Aztecs had many indigenous enemies, the most important being the Tlascalans who joined the Spaniards.

The Aztecs were cannibals

[Will88]

And what percentage conquistador blood is the president of Mexico?

[BunnySlippers]

Pointless endeavors.

[Vendome]

The Aztecs had many indigenous enemies, the most important being the Tlascalans who joined the Spaniards.

Especially the tribes from whom the Aztecs had been capturing the humans for their human sacrifices.

This is all wrong but enjoyable given this Pope.

This would make a perfect Celebrity Deathmatch.

They forget that Cortez and his few hundred men had help from other locals to defeat the Aztec empire.

It all would still have happened, there would just be different names associated with it and the dates would be slightly later. Perhaps it would have been Brits rather than Spain. Brits and blacks go way back in the Bahamas, and both are still there.

Ping

[Vendome]

Nope

it might have happened way later but, that time in history made the development of the America’s possible and with it the necessary inventions to exploit the riches of the earth.

Cotton Gin, Air Conditioning, Geico....

How about López Obrador apologizing for Mexico’s former President Plutarco Elías Calles’ ruthless persecution of the Catholics in Mexico, the Cristeros?

[JimRed]

If the indigenous people of Mexico had a bigger defense budget in the 1500s it would not be an issue.
