They were savages intent on mass murder of white settlers so we defended ourselves.
Bullshit. They weren't savages, first of all. Second of all, we came in and took their land; they were the ones defending themselves. Finally, we're the ones who committed mass murder, not the Indians.
Another product of a government education. Great.
First, it is true some bad things were done to the indians on ocassion. The worst had to be what the Spanish explorers allowed to happen but they were just so shocked by the human sacrifice and mass butchery of the Aztecs and Incas they over reactions.
But second, countless times the indians murdered white women and children. I am talking about in north america like the Pilgrim times and the French and Indian war. We had every right to settle here and yes, some times land was wrongly stolen. But lots of these indians were nomads who left their land for long periods. Others were just stagnating and not developing. Progress is a good thing not a bad thing. Liberals want you to believe it is bad but white Europeans brougth progress to America.
And now the indians are on the welfare dole AND raking in the bucks with their casino gambling. Favored minority status...hmmm...who really came out on top?
