White people have stolen from the natives since white people first got here and NOW you have a problem with it?

The Indians had nothing we needed or wanted....try being at least somewhat truthful.
And do not try and say that we stole the Indians land....they had no concept of land ownership to begin with. They were a bunch of savages roaming hither and yon and constantly

Do not try and tell me we stole their land.....they had no concept of land ownership to begin with....they just roamed hither and yon fighting each other in the most barbarous manner.
They did not own the land they just replaced those who lived here before them...just like we replaced them in a more humane manner.
Mark Twain on the Noble savage.............
"He is ignobleóbase and treacherous, and hateful in every way. Not even imminent death can startle him into a spasm of virtue. The ruling trait of all
savages is a greedy and consuming selfishness, and in our Noble Red Man it is found in its amplest development. His heart is a cesspool of falsehood, of treachery, and of low and devilish instincts. With him, gratitude is an unknown emotion; and when one does him a kindness, it is safest to keep the face toward him, lest the reward be an arrow in the back. To accept of a favor from him is to assume a debt which you can never repay to his satisfaction, though you bankrupt yourself trying. To give him a dinner when he is starving, is to precipitate the whole hungry tribe upon your hospitality, for he will go straight and fetch them, men, women, children, and dogs, and these they will huddle patiently around your door, or flatten their noses against your window, day after day, gazing beseechingly upon every mouthful you take, and unconsciously swallowing when you swallow! The scum of the earth!
All history and honest observation will show that the Red Man is a skulking coward and a windy braggart, who strikes without warningóusually from an ambush or under cover of night, and nearly always bringing a force of about five or six to one against his enemy; kills helpless women and little children, and massacres the men in their beds; and then brags about it as long as he lives, and his son and his grandson and great-grandson after him glorify it among the "heroic deeds of their ancestors."
