How do Americans feel about the way Native Americans were treated?

How do Imigrant Americans feel about the way the Native Americans have been treated over the years?

.....I think they got it a lot better than what the Spanish gave the Native Mexicans.....why the fuck does America always get the finger pointed at us?!?!?! How are the Aborigines treated by the Aussies now to this day And on another note how did you Brits treat the Irish

Sure the Indians got a raw deal, most native peoples did...doesn't make it right, but that is what happened in those times all around the world, doesn't make it better, but that was the norm of the day

Calm down,Calm down(scouse accent).

Dont burst a blood vessel.

...I just don't like it when people act like America invented violence towards indigenous peoples and racism and slavery and all the evils of the world. And although it wasn't specifically stated, the implication irks me just as much

Historically the past isn't a kind point in time

I have not read in great detail but I dont think anybody has mentioned American violence towards indigenous people in this thread.

I think most western countrys have examples of great shame in there history and America is no different.
You seem to want to almost wash your hands of your history as if it did not happen.

For what its worth Britain has got a lot of blood on its hands this is a fact that I accept and regret but dont try and brush under the carpet.

He's talking about white Americans being upset about illegal immigration these days, they're taking our country away, etc., etc., which I'm sure native Americans do find kind of funny.

I've always thought the whole topic was strangely glossed over, its an ugly ugly history for sure, but slavery and civil rights probably took some of the attention away from it.

I can speak fluent Spicoli .

He's drawing a comparison between the illegal immigrants of today and the colonists.

Saying Imagine if we were unarmed now except for just basic implements chilling as we are and immigrants came in armed and started blowing us away with some high tech machinery.

I don't regret it because it had nothing to do with me.

All countries have fought, many countries had empires at one time of another, that's how business was handled, not many people seemed to question it at the time so I see little point applying modern morality upon another time.

A better way of saying it is that I am not proud of what all britain has done in its past in relations to other countries.
