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

[Howlin Mad Missy]

...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.

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.
