You will NEVER get where I'm coming from Brockton and that comment is proof.


You and miles can opine about the plight of the Indian all you like, but feeling sorry for them isn't doing them much good is it? In fact, that's a bit condescending......I know, I know, miles will be SHOCKED about that.

Diseases decimated the Indians prior to any colonization of the Americas because explorers brought diseases with them and died, and they caught diseases from the Indians and some of the explorers died, but some survived and some of the Indians may even have taught the explorers how to cure their infirmed which utilizing lower technology was perhaps easier to replicate than the cures for the diseases the explorers brought with them.....and so Social Darwinism, those who were best equipped to handle those situations succeeded and those who weren't failed.

The Indians didn't have domesticated beasts of burden, ergo, no use for the wheel. The white man did, and therefore it was easier to move, being the more mobile and better equipped to handle the stresses and strains of the Americas the white man won out.

And Indians were not a monolithic group, they became one eventually when it was way too late, but at first they fought and naturally you see some white dudes come with fucking horses and guns and you make REAL good friends with them so you can destroy your enemies.....and disease comes and your tribe gets ruined.....kind of difficult to say "Damn that white man!".


Indians were killing Indians, taking land, taking hunting grounds, capturing slaves, etc all well before the "white devil" set foot on American soil....the phrase "Don't hate the playa hate the game" comes to mind and shit, white people aren't even the best at this game, the Mongolians were! but you don't give Genghis Khan shit for murdering and enslaving who he did do you? And that's not a rhetorical question, I want it answered.
