You know why white Europeans came over to the new world and took it from Native Americans? 'Cause we beat the Asians and Africans to it. If the American Indians had the technology they would have landed in Europe and done the same to our Ancestors. There are no innocents in history and I will be damned if I will feel guilty for anyone else's actions, ancestor or not.

The Indians in the United States also never had any compunction about butchering and enslaving one another.
