The white race is overrated. Their only claim to fame throughout history has been superior firepower. This has enabled them to slaughter indigenous people and enslave people in order to satify their greed for property. The Native Americans who lived in harmony with their surroundings, owned the land communally, and served as custodians of it for the benefit of all including the poor and the weak were far more advanced socially.
Most of the technology that you use today was created by White inventors. Billions of people are alive today thanks to advances in medicine and food production made by White people. People die every day trying to get into countries run by White people.
And American Indians didn't live in harmony. They fought and slaughtered each other and took other tribes as slaves. The Aztecs and the Incans conquered vast swaths of territory and oppressed numerous tribes. You believe in some little children's fantasy version of American Indians.
So, then - If I have a bigger gun than you, it is OK to move you out of your house and take it over?
The indians were hunters and gatherers. They did not own the land they merely inhabited it. Like the buffalo.
At that time the bigger firepower wins. Sorry that life does not always fit into a nice liberal package And as I demonstrated that the indians were very capable of killing other indians. At the highest rate of any humans that we are aware of. If they had the more firepower they would have killed off the euorpeans that traveled there. I am not saying killing is ok but it has happened and will continue to happen.
We live in a country that allows people to express their views and opinions. Freedom of speech. I do NOT agree with what white supremacists stand for, but they have the right to believe what they want.
Discriminating against a discriminator makes no sense.
When they start taking matters into their own hands and commit violent crimes, then throw their a$$es in jail. We need to stand together and show them that we are a strong united people and will NOT stand for hate. Taking away their internet or shutting off their utilities is not going to do anything, but incite violence from them.
the problem here is control- and curtailing bad behavior- we have let our child (the USA) run plumb wild-- and in all aspect-- it's gone amuck from the prez on down
It's not the job of the world to police your child, there is various tools for this but just like trying to get rid of sites like Backpage you are still playing the world's largest game of whack-a-mole. Unless you want to create laws that are extremely invasive to privacy and freedom you will never be able to handle this at the government level.

Sounds like pure equivocation to ease white guilt. If I read your post correctly, you are saying that the morality of killing people and stealing their property is purely situational depending on whether it benefits you or not.
if the Native Americans who had already arrived and had been living on the land for thousands of years didn't have claim to it, who did own it, out of curiosity...?

if it was not the worlds-- why have police and soldiers? Why have laws- or religion? why even have morals- ? just be animals and eat each other up
Exactly, you are not going to change the attitudes of racists or bigots by forcing them to provide a service. That simply sweeps the issue under the rug and in fact makes it worse. They can't blame anyone but themselves if they destroy their own business.
I agree here. And this country has a history of doing exactly that.
It was legal to discriminate against blacks, it was legal to deny blacks service, it was legal for blacks to have inferior jobs, schools, housing and not be protected by law. It was legal for whites and blacks to have separate jobs, separate schools, separate train cars, separate post offices and separate restaurants.

Most of the technology I use today was created by immigrants. Don't assume things.
