I still don’t understand why the Hispanics get a free pass from the so called U.N. after what they did to the indigenous people in Mehico, Central and South America. The Spaniards “discovered”, “conquered” and murdered them. We’re never reminded about that. The U.N. has got to go. That joint is a cesspool of America-hating rats.
The Spaniards “discovered”, “conquered” and murdered them.
I do not think you need the quotes on discovered or conquered. They clearly did both. As for “murdered”, I am sure quite a bit of that happened. But for context, I suggest you read “The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico” by Bernal Diaz. It is the only first person account we have of the Conquest. There are, I recall, 5 letters to the Emperor of Spain from Cortez, but they are kind of special pleading, so to speak.
There is one other contemporary partial account, with much less detail, it mostly agrees with Diaz’ book.
The Aztecs and the neighbors were awash with human sacrifice and cannibalism. Their replacement by the Spanish was definitely a step up.
The real problem were the diseases brought over by the Spanish and other Europeans. Those diseases killed off many millions.
But you cannot blame the Europeans for that, any more than you can blame the Black Death on the Arabs.
Excellent observations! Also, what about all the other countries that imported black slaves at the same time the colonies did, Brazil for example. As I recall 10 to 20% of the black slaves came to colonial American, the rest to the west Indies, Brazil, etc.
True, does the UN have a position on the drug cartels?
“I still don’t understand why the Hispanics get a free pass from the so called U.N. after what they did to the indigenous people in Mehico, Central and South America.”
Really? Its because of liberal white guilt and that hispanics don’t typically suffer from that syndrome. Remember the media narritive that has been shoved down our throats for years now: white men are evil. Every “person of color” is a noble victim of that evil white man. We have to push back against this BS at every instance.

Because they also raped them, and because of that they now have enhanced melanin, combined with non english, is woven by liberals into super kryptonite shielding against any and all history
