also Native Americans were not killed off by genocide

  1. Native Americans are not a single group of people, they never saw themselves as such ..they spoke different languages had different cultures, had different physical features and lived all across the North American continent; saying our country was founded on the Genocide of Indians is wrong because Native Tribes often allied themselves with the US in war against other native tribes..so if it was genocide then according to liberal logic Native Americans committed genocide against themselves ??

  2. 90% of the Native American population was killed of by the accidental transmission of disease when European explorers, hired by European monarchs arrived in the new world...The U.S.A was founded hundreds of years later...liberals will often fire back , it was intentional transmission GENOCIDE!! they scream...they are often citing instances when anglos at war with tribes utilized disease as a bio-weapon to kill tribes they were at war with..this is a war crime...genocide however? no ..again 90% of native population was destroyed by european powers long before the USA was ever founded...

  3. Native Americans were not considered U.S citizens...Jews in Germany were citizens and not engaged in war with Germany...Native Americans and Anglo Americans WERE AT WAR with one another ..both sides committed atrocities ..Native Americans targeted settlers and USA targeted Native villages..both were wrong but that's how it was then..or was it? During ww2 Japan and Germany targeted non military targets as did USA..did USA attempt genocide of Germans and Japanese? no they were at total war

  4. If Native Americans were subjected to Genocide why were they not all killed off when they lost the Indian wars against the USA? only reason jews were spared was because the Germans lost...but USA won the Indian wars..so why are Natives still here if USA was genocidal ? They were not that's why

Did USA massacre many native american tribes? yes...but their is a distinction between massacres that occur during total war and strait up government backed genocide...I rest my case with the fact that Native American tribes often allied themselves with the USA, for protection and revenge, against hyper-aggressive enemy tribes...so if you say Native Americans experienced genocide then you must also say that Native Americans committed genocide against Native Americans....

Its important to remember no leftist arguments are sincere. They are always just a play for power and reality does not matter to them. When they speak to people outside their ideological bubble - its their demand that you capitulate to their "educated" perspective .
