Their land? Who said so? How did a people who professed no concept of ownership of earth or territory become it's prior ''owners''? How many Indians were sold off as slaves to work on plantations? You don't care about the past? So why are you throwing ''The Indians'' into the argument?

Are you trying to say seriously that the native Americans were not killed, raped, marched from their lands like the trial of tears?

Saying Indians because the fact remains the whole argument is about the battle flag and slavery and being oppressive and yet even you cannot deny the Indians were not oppressed after the war between the states.

I care about how there is selective outrage because of the left wing agenda and I ma sure you are not in agreement with it, are you?

Now you are just showing your ignorance. That was true of some tribes, but the five civilized tribes, forcibly removed from their land by Andrew Jackson's "Indian Removal act" had farms, houses, stores, towns, blacksmiths, etc.

The Cherokees had their own printing presses and newspapers for crying out loud!
