Natives to North, Central, or South America, are Americans.
European immigrants who inhabit the US are not really Americans.
Did you mean US citizens instead of Americans?
Is proud to be an American sung in Spanish daily like it is in the USA? Then they ain’t American .. we all knew what he meant..
It is not good enough to just know what he meant, because a careless use of language allows careless thinking.
And we need to not be so careless as to forget we are mostly European immigrants who murdered our way into Manifest Destiny.
Some local native culture is not likely such a bad thing.
The European culture we brought with us is a little too greedy, selfish, and violent.
Actually no it was the Spanish that killed murdered and brought slaves.. Indians signed a treaty.. we lived in a conquering era if dumbasses thought like you back then well first your clan would have been wiped out, but second there would be no America, which had brought great prosperity to millions in the world..
you don’t like the word assimilate, you don’t like American history, you don’t like how we Americans phrase things.. well move out snow flake.. as you can see for the shooting some Americans aren’t playing around any more
No, the Spanish used the natives, so did not bring slaves or murder.
The only exception were the islands, like Jamaica, where they brought slaves for the sugar trade.
It was the Northern Europeans who did the most slavery, and slavery was not big in the New World until the invention of the cotton gin in 1794.
We did not live in a conquering era, we created the conquering era.
The Romans started it, but it had died out when the Romans were defeated and died out.
We brought it back.
The US probably brought much more misery to the world than anything else.
The shootings are also usually suicides, so then clearly they were in misery and they are proof we got things wrong.
This is not the Mediterranean with its legacy of imperialism and colonialism.
We should not be trying to revive Roman imperialism and colonialism in the New World.
We are the ones who should be assimilating, not the natives.
