Also, we pioneered, settled, cultivated, and tamed America, while Indians were busy scalping, butchering, raping, and enslaving each other. No one should apologize for that, EVER. It's how the world works. Weak backwards societies get conquered by superior ones.
I agree mostly, but I live in a plains Indian state and there are a few tribes from this area that actually made an attempt to assimilate and our government did F them over. There were vast differences between the tribes, but our government treated them like a monolith and lumped the good in with the bad.
No one ever really cares about the abomination that are reservations except when the left wants to utilize Natives as political pawns. However, reservations are the ultimate example of why socialism & governmental control sucks; they are actually an argument AGAINST what the left wants.
No one is stopping them from leaving the reservation and becoming a productive member of society. It’s the same victim mentality we are currently seeing.

Tribalism and Communism are perhaps America's chief enemies right now. (I guess that's some 'problematic verbiage,' but I stand by it. lol)
Oh, I agree. If they think how we started the US is bad, they should see how other conquered civilizations were treat!
