Genocide in terms of the treatement of native americans is a joke. Do you know how many total indians were believed to live on the ENTIRE continent at their peak??

7-10 Million.. that’s it.. the ENTIRE CONTINENT.

There are more “native americans” in america today (or at least people who claim to be) than there were when the Europeans arrived. If genocide was what the europeans did, they did a piss poor job.

A massacre is a massacre, its not genocide. And I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but the earliest known massacres were committed by the indians... and far more often by them as well through the years.

This nonsense that the white man is evil and the red man is angelic is not remotely true.... Its what the PC crap demands, but its just not reality.

According to the United Nations, I believe that’s your bubble popping now.

To: HamiltonJay; All
each of us "soulless, red savages" want to thank you for your STUPID, PREJUDICED & ignorant (and just possibly RACIST) personal opinions, which you have "blessed" everyone with on FR.

perhaps you should head over to "daily kos", "DU" and/or "moveon.org", where BIGOTS are welcome. i predict that you'll be a STAR on any/all of those sites.
