So what you’re saying is, that you can held accountable for the actions of your ancestors?
Okay - well, the Natives killed lots of innocent people. Some tribes took pride in killing innocent people. Some tribes would scalp and butcher people who couldn’t defend themselves.
So I guess the Natives need to do some apologizing of their own.
There are fewer Natives in the US than there are white people - which means the Natives living today are much more accountable than whites living today.
(Oh, well there were innocent peaceful tribes....)
There were innocent peaceful whites too. But you’re holding them all accountable.
And btw - my father’s side of the family came to the US in the 1930s.
So remember the lesson: judging people by race and ethnicity is only okay if the people you’re judging are white.
Why don’t you take your smug little racist ideas and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine?

I didn't even read all the way through your post as it is so lame. Let me say once and for all time: what the native Americans did to each other before there were any Whites on this Continent has absolutely nothing to do with after Whites came. Ever heard that old saying, Two wrongs don't make a right. Most of what went on back then like killing Indians, cutting down forests , taking tons of gold and silver and all of the above , then, were on Indian land not US government land. (not counting the oil that was taken without compensation) Yes , your government owes an apology, and you are part of this government, like it or not.

Shove any where you please but Your Government is still guilty. And by the way try to keep a civil tongue in your mouth for Christmas if not for decency.
