I don't know much about the US, but in South America Christians and capitalists are still killing indigenous and peasant peoples every single day. West Afica also, anywhere there is oil and other resources and land it happens. What needs revision is the apologetic babble about it being in the past and not so bad. It simply sends a signal of a lacking human empathy and/or suggests total ignorance. I actually feel sorry for you, but it also makes me plain angry to hear such terrible views. People who live in their "own" times are very strange to me. You don't own time. That is an anti-social disconnection. People live in the world's time, are connected to everyone else, and the past is our future. On 24/10/11 02:05, Natalie Golovin wrote:

Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here.
You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest. Sorry....
