The invasion of America - The story of Native American dispossession is too easily swept aside, but new visualisations should make it unforgettable

Whites won. Get over it. Let me point to a time in history when groups did not fight each other based on some arbitrary label such as national boundaries or race. Oh wait, that was exactly never. Just because they LOST doesn't mean they wouldn't have done the same as us, if they could figure out how to make sailing ships to cross the ocean to Europe with decent weapons---ha ha yeah ... suuuurrreee they could, in about 5,000 years. I'm sick of this constant anti-white revisionist history. I used to read scanned books from the Library of Congress. I remember reading a journal by a journalist/scribe to the King of England who was sent here to tour the early settlements. I remember many stories but some stuck out. When he first arrived his crew on the ship were looking for a suitable place to land. A few soldiers went to shore in a rowboat to scout the area. They went into the woods and never returned. A few hours later, the scout's heads were rolled onto the beach. The crew went up the coast to find a new landing place. Another time his crew were captured while exploring and were tied between trees. They were going to be cut to pieces but the captain somehow was able to talk his way out of the situation. Another time they were exploring some rivers in a canoe and they were constantly shot at by arrows. This is from a bunch of different tribes. The journal has since been pulled from the Library of Congress (I can assume why). Scribes of the King had to tell 100% truth as the penalty for lying would have been severe. So, no, I am glad they are gone. It sucks that they chose death over assimilation though. Stupid. Would you want to walk to your car under constant threat of arrows being shot at you? I didn't think so. Whites then wouldn't either. They did what had to be done. Going back to Europe was not an option due to feudalism. Further, after a foothold was gained here in America, sure, lines could have been drawn and manifest destiny pulled, but just like CEOs now send our jobs to China--specific wealthy people have always been assholes. So really, it wasn't a white thing as much as a 1% thing.
