Probably the American Indian peoples would disagree that the white population doesn't have lots of blood on it's hands and that we didn't invade them. Oh, and don't forget the noble effort to suppress an entire segment of the American population during the civil war. Per capita/on average we probably exceeded the 100 million number. And how about (since we are on the subject) the acts of terrorism perpetrated against the British Military and resident government by the American revolutionaries. I guess it must just be one's point of view ... |

Are you lumping the Spanish in with the "white population"? From my reading of history, the British, French, and Spanish were both friends and enemies of "native americans." -- Bob Noel |

Hi,

The Indians were at war with themselves constantly, for thousands of years. That's a pretty broad statement, and not universally true. Just as in the rest of the world, some peoples were "invaders", and others were not. "The Indians" are no more monolithic than anyone else. Neil |

There are no indigenous people in Ireland... It is an island that has been
colonized, starved out, recolonized, conquered, lost, reconquered, and has been self destructive for tens of thousands of years... A king was merely the biggest thief, bully, rapist, and murderer in the neighborhood... Dennis O'Connor who also is descended from 'royal' scum "Big John" wrote in message ... How about the Irish. I date from the King of Munster, 950 AD. |

The same can be said for virtually every nationality and ethnic group on the
planet. Not much has really changed in human psychology and politics since the last ice age ended and hunter gatherers started to settle into villages. Rousseau's "Noble Savage" is as much a fiction as the Lilliputians and Brobdignagans. "Dennis O'Connor" wrote in message ... There are no indigenous people in Ireland...
