I feel very sad when I think of what the Native Americans went through and I know for a fact some of my relatives participated,One fought against the Narraganset Indians in King Phillips War.I'm sorry,and ironically I do have some native blood in me.My first ancestor a Buckminster came over as an indentured servant.It must have been very bad to have to leave your home.Most people came here because they were badly treated in their homeland and they came to America and passed the buck.If we could just all be decent and respect each other. I'm a mix of Scot- Irish(ulster Irish),German.French,English,native.But I can't undo the past but I can make damm sure it's not repeated.
The white boers in South Africa attempted to do the SAME thing to blacks as white had done to native americans here in the US.....they
failed. Instead of forcing blacks onto "homelands"(kinda like indian reservations) and decimating their population, the blacks survived, multiplied, and took back their country.
BTW Tequila, why are you so partial to the boers rather than the english speakers in South Africa? It was the boers who were responsible for apartheid. That racist old geezer in the video you posted thinks blacks are the "most barbaric race on Earth" simply because they withstood white conquest and successfully fought back.
