cool pointless pedantry, irrelevant to their main point. native americans were seen asa homogenous group by white colonizers, despitr the fact that they weren't actually. quibbling about technicalities doesn't change the fact that america was built on genocide of a group of people seen as different and inferior.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoUncool pointless yelling, because I never said it wasn't. I just wanted gowld to clarify what, exactly, his/her point was, because it seemed to be rather incoherent. Was gowld talking about Native Americans? I honestly can't tell.
- Rotten194 8y agoI'm typing, not yelling. I think it's pretty obvious that they were talking about the "manifest destiny" genocide of native people, considering that "freeing up" that land was considered pivotal to "completing america's destiny". though i guess they could have been talking about the genocide of african enslaved people through forced labor. or the genocide of people in the Philippines during the Spanish American war, which birthed the American empire. lots of genocide to choose from, actually, so i guess your confusion is understandable.
