I know we had our hand in all that, I am just not interested to hear about the poor indians. They are complicit in their own demise as well .
That's how you defend this comment? Those were some strong statements just because you aren't interested in hearing something.
"They should teach that and no one should be bothered by the treatment of the natives."
It appears you not only refuse to be bothered by the fact that the natives were killed by the visiting faction but that they should teach that nobody should be bothered by the killing of the natives as long as you see them as lesser humans based upon this comment.
"They were moved out in favor of people who would actually build greatness. "
Re-write history basically to make one side seem better and to justify killing as long as your side reaps the rewards.
I mean why else would you not want to talk about the Natives and teach their story even though you admitted we had our hand in it? Probably because it's that part of the story that is bad and makes Americans looks worse.
Of course they were complicit in their own demise every civilization that falls is. Lots of times civilizations fall because they don't see the motives or don't have the means to stand up to land grabbers.
Greatness isn't defined in black and white terms. What's great to you might not be great to me. Maybe a concrete jungle is greatness to you but to some a clean natural body of water is greatness.
