Um, but neither do we deny the genocide of the Native Americans. I get what you're saying -- they were treated deplorably, are treated deplorably, so the 'fessing up doesn't matter. But that's a sort of misdirection on your part.Originally Posted by Wakizashi
America, as a nation, does not deny the genocide of the Native Americans. Full stop. For the purposes of this discussion, I think that's enough. How much worse would it be if every American schoolchild were taught that Indians were really terrorists who vanished 'cause, um, 'cause they just kinda did.
You feel that we have not done enough to compensate the survivors of the Native American genocide? That's a legitimate point of view, but it doesn't create moral equivalence with genocide deniers.
