And you have not answered this one question. Did the US intentionally destroy the Indian way of life leading to the decimation of their poulation ?! You keap going back to the smallpox blanket. I show you Brits discussing openly you don't want to hear it. You sir are a moron. Not a single person reading this believes that the US did not intentionally destroy the Indian way of life and led to their mass death and the sad state that they are in today .. except YOU. I am not baiting you. This is matter of fact crap. You do not want to accept that what the US did to the Indians makes Israel look like sheep.

Even the roots European colonialism in the US are full of native mistreatment. Columbus ...

The attempts at resistance gave Columbus an excuse to make war. On March 24, 1495, he set out to conquer the Arawaks. Bartolome de Las Casas described the force Columbus assembled to put down the rebellion. "Since the Admiral perceived that daily the people of the land were taking up arms, ridiculous weapons in reality . . . he hastened to proceed to the country and disperse and subdue, by force of arms, the people of the entire island
"The soldiers mowed down dozens with point-blank volleys, loosed the dogs to rip open limbs and bellies, chased fleeing Indians into the bush to skewer them on sword and pike, and 'with God's aid soon gained a complete victory, killing many Indians and capturing others who were also killed.' "
Having as yet found no fields of gold, Columbus had to return some kind of dividend to Spain. In 1495 the Spanish on Haiti initiated a great slave raid
Columbus was excited. "In the name of the Holy Trinity, we can send from here all the slaves and brazil-wood which could be sold,"
"There now began a reign of terror in Hispaniola." Spaniards hunted Indians for sport and murdered them for dog food. Columbus, upset because he could not locate the gold he was certain was on the island, set up a tribute system."
"Whenever an Indian delivered his tribute, he was to receive a brass or copper token which he must wear about his neck as proof that he had made his payment. Any Indian found without such a token was to be punished."
"how the Spanish punished those whose tokens had expired: they cut off their hands."

Wow .. just like Muslem law ... now I know why you feel so kindered. Don't talk to me about abuse you mother of all hypocrites .. or just mother
