I already addressed this, that was actually an accident - at first. People were unaware how diseases spread and gave the natives blankets out of genuine kindness - after some time, once they realized what was happening, they were like, hey... maybe we should continue this to get some of these people out of our way.
And yes - Europeans DID come here and build what we know of as America out of nothing. There were no major landmarks or cities built by natives, especially not in North America outside of what is now Latin America. The Europeans came here, found largely untouched land (with people of course), conquered, and united nearly the whole continent into this country - right or wrong, good or bad, they did it. The natives never united nearly as much of the continent as the Europeans did, to create what we have today. They spent a lot of time fighting one another - tribes to tribes.
"You really know absolutely nothing about pre-contact North America. I suggest you read "1491" and learn some things. - MB33"
Whoever repped me with this message... joke's on you because I'm a history major who took a class just this spring before I graduated on Native American history starting with pre-European contact. This was at my private liberal NYC liberal arts college so trust me they really got the white guilt, "Native Americans were so great check this thing out that they did/had" (not that they don't deserve that recognition) going with us... I know plenty about Native Americans pre-contact and stand by my comments 100%. They were advanced and civilized people, something few Americans know, but they did NOT have many large, advanced cities or even towns and they did not develop the land much... which makes sense given how closely they valued nature. In a previous post on the same subject I stated the size and relevance of the Aztec and Mayan civilizations and cities, which were impressive for sure, but do not fall under our territory, and never did. The Europeans came in and turned this country into what it is today - no question. The Native Americans had a much different type of society, or societies, and this country would never have become what it is today had the Europeans not explored and colonized the New World.

The poster signed it - MB33 is a poster.
I don't get cowards who give someone they disagree with extra points, just so they can keep their venom private, rather than post what they think.

I realize that. I wasn't sure if it was an abbreviation for another, longer name, or an actual name because I don't recall seeing that poster on this thread but of course I could be wrong and perhaps this person posted on the previous page. I've been skimming some of this thread, so it's possible I could have missed this person.

I don't recall posts by this person either, but did find the name under advanced search.
Hate is a strong word and to apply it to a population of ~200M people is beyond reason. As long as you believe that White people "Hate" then that is all that you will ever see.
Here's a tidbit for you. "Hate" takes time and energy and a lot of thought. Whites are not going to waste all of that on Blacks. There is nothing in it for them and they have better things to do.
Like come on to forums like this and spew hate. LOL.
That's too bad, perhaps you can move to Africa. You can be a self-loathing white there and you would never again have to contemplate the fact that great civilizations are built on the blood and bones of lesser ones that were defeated. In Africa you won't have to think about great civilizations any more because there are none to be found for thousands and thousands of miles.
Geography not your strong suit? EGYPT is in Africa. And don't say you meant Black Africa because YOU wrote Africa.

Your entire post makes me embarrassed to be American, and white.
