There's no denying that whites killed Indians. Lots of them. But we did, and for hundreds of years, we held this land. That's the way the ball bounces in life. There are winners and losers. I'm just not very moved by appeals for them, though.
Look at America today. Now WHITES are being edged out. We are soon to be minorities in America. Are the Hispanics now taking over going to build museums for us, or give us reservations? I doubt it very much. In other words, if you want me to get all weepy for the Indians and give them all my tax dollars, don't hold your breath.
So screw it. Dish it out, take it, stop the crying. In this world, it's every race for itself. Whites get NO sympathy from anyone, Indians get tons. Boo hoo. I'm sick of whites accepting their position as the world's only evil, and "people of color" as pure good. It's not that simple. I am not advocating cruelty toward other groups, just realism. Blacks, for instance, like to bitch and cry about how we need to help them, but the minute they get the chance, they'd cut us. All of it boils down to taking advantage. Indians went from being fierce warriors to begging us for casino rights. Either way, they're just trying to get something out of us.
Fact is, those indians white settlers first encountered were killing each other off and killing whites too. That poor, noble redman was anything BUT sitting on top of a pony armed to the teeth and looking for scalps to prove his bravery and improve his standing in the tribe.
Yeah whites killed indians. Fortunately for whites, indians couldn't stop warring with each other long enough to gang up and blow us off the continent. The one time they did, Custer didn't fare too well. They were far and away superior individual warriors. The were beaten by attrition and the sheer number of whites.
