- joemazerino 4y agoWeird comment. The USA didn't treat the Indians with white gloves but there are surely more egregious examples in history. Vlad the impaler? Ivan the terrible? Various African warlords?
- d0mine 4y agoHow many Indians were there before Columbus? How many remains? Compare it with the numbers for the examples you provided.
- NotSammyHagar 4y agoYou have to separate diseases from other things. The mongols weren't responsible for the black death, plagues in Europe killed a lot of people.
- d0mine 4y agoDiseases is the official excuse for the genocide. See how long it holds if you start asking questions and looking at the numbers.
- larryett 4y agoThis is so absurd and disrespectful to the Native American warriors. Only a person completely ignorant of basically anything to do with Native American history would say something like this in this context.
- SirSavary 4y agoWhat is absurd or disrespectful about pointing out the genocide of Native Americans?
- xbmcuser 4y agoWhat the fuck are you talking about the original commentator stated how mongol should not be talked about because of the things they did. I just pointed out that Americans have done similar or worse. Are you aware native american population is estimated to be around 100 million year 1500 and only 5-6 million were left by 1650.
- NotSammyHagar 4y agoA lot of that reduction in population was from diseases that weren't in the new world before invasion by Europeans. Not many diseases went the other way, I think syphilis is the only major one I've head of that went from the Americas to Europe. Separate from that the Euros were sure following the path of murdering, genocide, and even after the wars were over the US was sending kids to schools to destroy their knowledge about their own cultures. More recently we started learning about the large graveyards at those schools, and the same thing was happening in Canada.
- pipeline_peak 4y agoI think you’re confusing OPs post about the European colonization with the actual Native American victims.
