I guess the brits were smart enough not to have any black people in their country though. So Brits are the real racist? Early Americans are in fact Brits and they went ahead and killed most of the Indians

All of this from so called religious settlers? I guess now things make more sense.




Eh? you think that makes sense?
I think you'll find none of it was in the name of religion, just in the name of money. The British Empire discovered new territories, colonised them, taxed them, traded their commodities and generally made as much money from them as they could.
Absolutely no different to what the Spanish was doing in South and Central America or the French in Africa etc...
This all happened 100's of years ago, the way people treated black people then is not how they do now.
