He is right, we did destroy the Native Americans in huge numbers in the past.

Really? when you say "we" who do you mean....and what is huge numbers in your mind?
Here is a list of hits on both sides, at least start around 1776 to suggest "we" as in Americans...
The List

Because it wasn't "you" before 1776? How did that work exactly? Were the massacring settlers denied citizenship?

I thought it was pretty much accepted by just about everyone, liberal and conservative, that we screwed Native Americans royally. It was an oft expressed platitude more than a hundred years ago, well, not exactly in those words, but the same sense of shame for what white people did to them. I think it’s one of the two most evil things Americans (meaning some white Americans, but far from all) have done in our history, the other being slavery. Nowadays, what we did to the Indians is defined as genocide, though I have to note there are at least 5 million of them and they have their own vast territories.

I like his response that he is thinking of calling the mass killings of Native Americans genocide in response to the hundred year ago declaration that Turkey killing Armenians was genocide. He is right, we did destroy the Native Americans in huge numbers in the past.
I didn't see the recent senate measure from last week that the article talks about.
Turkey is pissing off a lot of countries but they keep letting him do it without saying too much.
He tries to develop a personal relationship even with leaders of unfriendly nations. That includes Ji, Putin and Kim Jong-UN. He has even suggested meeting with Khameini I believe. There’s no harm in talking, and maybe some good can come of personal contact between leaders.
