Japan tells UN it had nothing to do with sex slaves

Where a white man/settler/soldier is the hero or the main character. From the last of the mohicans to the dances with wolves to everything in between.

Hyperbole much? Off the top of my head: 100 rifles. Barking Water. Before Tomorrow. All films that don't have that white savior trope. If you want I can look up more. Or you can use google. Your choice.

They play silly lip service to it. We don't get any real in-depth accounting of what really happened. We don't get told the REAL ugly truth. We get propaganda.

They also skim over the war of 1812, see how many people know we invaded British Canada, and don't mention early settlements like the Roanoke Colony. Even modern history like the Korean War doesn't get more than a glance.

Sure we do. We mitigate it by saying "disease killed them" or "there weren't that many of them to begin with" or any of the same bullshit jewish holocaust deniers use.

Oh wow is this proof of your statement about not having enough time devoted to the Native Americans in history books. Honey, if their numbers hadn't been in decline before the white people landed, the settlers would have gotten their asses kicked like the Vikings did. I know some people like to think either we were superior in terms of health or weaponry or a corrupting influence, but the Native Americans weren't these innocents living in Eden. Cahokia was a sprawling urban center and believe it or not Native Americans landed in Holland before Columbus "sailed the Ocean Blue." Plague swept Europe more than once. Had the settlers not arrived at a time when disease was sweeping North America, they would not have survived. The Pilgrims found that there were already fields laid out for planting. That would be Squanto's tribe, remember him? He was taken into slavery but when he escaped his tribe was gone. Without the empty village they would have failed. Ok, this is getting way too long. I'm done with college, I don't feel like writing a research paper on reddit.
