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?

No. But they were a savage and war-like people in their own right. They waged war on each other and white settlers, especially the first arrivals here and broke treaties they made with whites as did whites with them. They weren’t powerless like black slaves. They were just overwhelmed in the end. BTW, how many all black owned casinos are there in America?

They were oppressed BEFORE the civil war. The five civilized tribes were kicked off their land and forced to march to Oklahoma, there to be put on reservations.

They lost everything. It is reminiscent of how the Jews property was seized by the Nazis, but at least the Oklahoma Reservations were better than the concentration camps.

All of that was done under the Stars and Stripes.
