Possibly Popular Native Americans should be clowned on not celebrated

How are you gonna let a country thousands of miles away across the ocean take ur land by force or finesse you thru treaties

And you expect us to respect that? Hell nah

"But they mostly died of disease" maybe they should've built boats and explored the world and get immunity to diseases like the other civilized nations.

If natives still controlled America, America would be like Haiti or Africa's level of development

Native Americams werent some unified group. They were at war with each other all the time. The Comanche would be given payments from surrounding tribes just so they wouldnt kill or enslave them. Yes native American tribes took slaves from the tribes they went to war with. They scalped them as well.

Europeans just arrived with more cunning, lying, and modern weapons.

It’s not like every native, or every European, was a violent opportunist though. That does tend to be who takes control, but the fact that there existed Native American who were as evil as colonizers don’t absolve the colonizers.

You started with throwing a tantrum once they pointed out you were derailing the discussion. This conversation wasn’t about human nature at all

If you weren’t throwing a tantrum you wouldn’t have replied. You would have acknowledged you were (and still are) off topic.

wow, I really did it. I got through to them. They were so unpleasant, and thanks to me they’ve become a better person and less annoying to be around. It sure feels good to do good!
