Well, gee, the Egytians built their pyramids on slave labor and Rome it's whole empire. Not to mention quite a few industries and buildings in America...but the blacks had it coming, all savages do, don't they?

Here's some sites on Wounded Knee...doesn't quite fit your view and nothing I've ever read does. Nor does it excuse the slaughter of the Buffalo to starve the Indians, Congress' Indian Resolution (slaughter whole villages basically). The excuse that the government could not control migration is a cop out, it didn't want to. To much gold and other resources it wanted to gobble up. That is why an Indian Burea still runs indian land (Let me spell that out to you: American citizens who are not and have never been allowed to own and manage their own ancestral land with corporations freely stripping it). Last estimate that if the government ever (like the US gove ever will) had to pay back that money it would be in the billions, and that was in US News/World Report...a rather conservative magazine. But you'll blow it off...after all they're still savages not to be trusted...like dem Japs we all had te round up and steal der dem good farm land frum. At least they finally won a law suit on that.

Try excusing what Andrew Jackson did...one account was of his troops cutting out uterises and using them as hats...and that written by one of the officers. I think he was bragging. Trail of Tears? Please, most of the exterminations were begun by settlers moving into land that was never their's. Why is it that Russia was able to colonize a lot more land without exterminating the native populations? This to include the Indians in Alaska, Oragan, Washington and N. California...the majority of Alaskan Indians are still Orthodox Christians and many speak Russian.

I'm sure you'll write it off, it doesn't fit into your white washed version of history.

Site 2, this one has some eye witnesses from the US Army...seems they disagree with you too...I'm shocked I tell you
Site 3

Should I post more? So far you've struck out on all points on Indians, from their civilizations to their numbers...you try to back track and white wash what you've said but the post stands as proof. Believe what you want, reality is still reality.

I don't know what sources you read about "Wounded Knee". But it was not a Massacre. As for Eygpt- no one has believed that the pyramids were built by slaves for 50 years now. They were masive public works projects during the non growing seasons and the workers were paid. The graveyards have been exhumed and they are not the graves of slaves. Competition among worker gangs existed and this is evident in ancient graffitti. Ancient Eygpt didn't have the technology to control the number of slaves it would have required to build such stuctures.

As for your assertions about Russians hitting hard targets and Americans and British just wantonly killing civilians - don't make me laugh. Don't get me wrong- Americans and British did target civilians in bombing. But once again lets go to the record. Where did Germans civilians flee once East Prussia and then other parts of Germany were invaded by the Russians? To the West and by the millions. I have read many accounts of Wermacht behavior in Russia and it runs the gamut from the obscene to the compassionate. But the behavior of Russian troops in Germany and even Poland was just murderous and disgusting. I just finished "The Fall of Berlin: 1945" by Beevor. You should read it.
