The United Nations should mandate a country for each of the tribes.

I repeat
meanwhile all the death caused by all the countries in the New world North, Central and South America get ignored of which your own link shows that 95 % were killed by disease
I live in the South does that mean I am responsible for slavery? Hint: I was born in 1990

The UK has a shameful record in many countries - for example Kenya. I don't feel personally guilty but I do feel guilty as a citizen of this country as to what was done in our name, regardless of the fact that it was long before my time. I understand and acknowledge it was bad even though I was not directly involved and nor was my family - but I don't effectively shrug my shoulders and attempt to dismiss the whole thing. That was the distinction I was trying to make.

The UN? The same UN that stopped Rwanda Genocide?

The fact and point of this thread should be this:
You the Americans who are playing the defensive side; show me the 'real' numbers or accuracy, or 'hitler did worse' etc.. Are only denying, or I should say not FACING, the fact that your country (and yes many others) is built upon bloodshed and robbery.

Basically this thread shows that Americans will point a finger at everyone except themselves - and when they do confront themselves, its the 'so what, we won' mentality.

No, the UN that created a nation for Israel after the Jewish genocide.

Correction, the Europeans committed the worst genocide in world history. I don't know where you get calling the Europeans "Americans," or even confusing them.
I get it, its not the Americans' fault. Never mind that they were Americans by then. Never mind that they're our grandparents.
Just as I said, Americans don't get blamed.

that is a period of 80 years and it is LONG after the genocide we are accused of. while those are regrettable they are in fact instances of an armed intervention by the government .......not a prolonged effort of genocide ......
but people will be blind and believe what they will...........edit on 3-8-2013 by tadaman because: (no reason given)

America has spoken
Many Americans have said we feel terrible
What exactly are you wanting us to do?
Let's not talk about the ones killed
We are not constantly going on about the Indian who attacked and killed our peaceful settlers
We are not even crying foul over the enslavement of us
bashing for past atrocities
now let's move on please!

Our dirty pasts....as evidenced by the fact that we are humans.
All humans have the capacity for what we call "evil". In the grand scheme of things....it was just another Tuesday in the Universe.
No agreed. My problem is Americans and "others" that state they are exempt from this and that they are somehow moraly superior.
Astounding how stupid the whole world is collectively. We are smart individually but like a Zombie collectively. Can anybody explain this?
