    I guess Africans never had their land stolen, children killed, families torn apart or anything of that sort ever, huh?

    Bingo.

    Most white liberals screaming about modern day segregation live in communities in which they can't even see a black person. Why not invite them in?

    Off topic, but...It's funny Barbara Streisand is threatening to move if Trump is elected because of his racism...to a whiter nation than the US.

    LMAO, I know. They all want to escape to whiter countries--Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Finland...lol

    Of course, once they are there, they will complain about the lack of brown people and subsequently destroy those countries. It's always best to restrict the number of whites and East Asians because the economy gets too productive and society gets too peaceful. Crime and dysfunction add flavor to society, don't you know?

    Can we get any of them to volunteer for a trip to the Sudan?

    I went to UT Austin.

    I live in Austin Texas.

    Half of my friends are liberal.

    I'm quite familiar with the idiocy.

    Some were, others were peaceful. Don't believe everything you see in John Wayne movies.

    Huh? Your definition of savage is ridiculous. Your claims are wrong, as well. The Maya, Inca and Aztecs had advanced civilizations.

    This is true. There were also fairly advanced civilizations in North America, but they were already gone by the time the Europeans came. The Natives in Central and South America were particularly sophisticated in astronomy, though they were still quite barbaric--at least the Aztecs were. It was probably for the better that they ( the Aztecs) got wiped out.

    The extreme bias of the OP and many others is almost laughable. Genocide? Do you even know what it is? Because if you do, and you are educated, then you would know that term does not at all apply.

    Furthermore, what should we do about what's been done in the past? Am I inherently bad because I'm white and whites have done bad things in the past? Do I owe someone for acts I didn't do? Should I give up my home?

    What is the point of even arguing this?

    The best argument I've heard for why we should bare no blame for things our ancestors did applied to slavery but the same can be said for this example too. If you or I commit mass murder or we steal millions of dollar from a bank or whatever, we should expect to get punished if we are caught. But how can we also hold all your family and all your children and your children's children responsible for this act. We can't, and that's why we don't. When you commit a crime, only those who committed the crime are punished and it would be stupid to try and blame your children for your crime. But somehow it's not stupid when we're talking about slavery or European colonisation.. :roll:

    The Europeans had hugely advanced civilisations also and yet this thread is almost trying to reduce them to savages. Infact, history pretty much shows that the more advanced you get as a culture, the more your killing power increases and you're able to take over countries at your whim. Advanced cultures tend to expand, and less advanced cultures seem to remain and often are victims to the aforementioned culture's expansions.

    The link finally loaded the target page. Very interesting reading. Note that it presents that frequency of the evidence may point to famine, rather than a religious/cultural practice. I do not think the natives of north america were diehard cannibals as you claim. Thank you for the link.

    But not bloody minded enough to remove all European influence from the Americas, hence why they're not around anymore.

    You haven't been paying attention the Average Mexican these days is more Mayan genetically than not. And there are one hole hell of a lot of Mayan influences in Roman Catholic Traditions in Mexico even now. By the WAy without the Mayas the Spanish don't beat the Aztecs.

    Yeah, advanced civilization that didn't have the wheel, metal tools or beasts of burden. When Cortez arrived in what is now Mexico City there was a "pile" of human skulls that one of his flunkies estimated to be 100,000. Now that is what I call civilized.

    The subjugated tribes help Cortez defeat the Aztecs.

    No I didn't. You need to work on reading comprehension. That wasn't the scat analysis. That is proof the they were eatin' 'em not just butchering a cooking 'em.
