Do you think we dealt fairly with the Indians during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries? Do you think we were a remarkably good example of moral standing as it relates to salvery?

I ask these questions because other nation’s citizens could do a little marching of their own. They could demand that the U.S. issue reparations. Is that something that sounds like a winner to you?

I don’t like what happened in other nations, specifically China, Russia, Germany, Cambodia and Vietnam. While I will remember and talk about these events, I won’t be going out into the streets 80 and 100 years after the fact to damn those nation’s leaders. I could be convinced to go out and protest current actions as long as it wouldn’t endanger our troops on the ground in a live war zone.

Thanks for the response.

yes - and i can see you the old kremlin party line that I ran into in the 70’s - makes me feel young again.

And what part of “The Russians killed 100 million in the last century “ do you not understand?

Let me tell you something about Indians.

In Westfiled, Pa, there is a cliff where they used to set forest fires and panic herds of elf and deer off the top, plunging them to their deaths - they only cut the tongues out and let everything to rot.

Those forest fires sometimes blackened the skies for thousands of miles and destroyed whole states worth of coutryside.

Their approach to nature and other human beings was savage and that is why they were called savages.

Re: slavery, our family were never slave owners and under Holy Mother Russia, we were slaves.

Slavery was legal throughout the world in the 1800’s and my state never allowed slavery. Some states did and that ended in the mid 1800’s.

It continued on in Russia for many years after that - about 100 years in fact.

It continues in Africa and other primitve areas today.
