Why am I and my ancestors held accountable for slavery of for taking the Indians land? That all occurred way before my ancestors left Europe. I think most Americans are similar.
Why am I told that my ancestors oppressed blacks or Indians, when that is simply not true?
Is it because I have a similar skin pigmentation as the people who did the oppressing?
That seems kind of stupid as well as racist. Blaming people solely on their skin pigmentation seems racist to me.
My point was that regardless of when your ancestors arrived in America, they could do so largely because the Natives were marginalized. If your ancestors came from Ireland and Sweden its quite possible that they would have starved to death if they hadn't emigrated and you would never have been born. (I think those two countries were hit by famine/poverty).
To be clear and to not offend anyone, I've never said such a stupid thing that any White should feel guilty over what a minority of Whites did over a century ago. That would be preposterous. All I am saying is it's possible to have a bit of sensibility about how US came about when crying out that White Americans are being marginalized because of immigration and instead reflect on the fact that what happened to the Natives was way, way worse. Furthermore, maybe US would have less of an immigration problem if they changed their foreign policy. It has been a reason for increased instability and migration movements around the world. This has come back to caused problems for your own country. Foreigners and Americans alike have been killed in wars for nothing but to perpetuate and benefit those in political and economic power. All in the name of patriotism and freedom.
No one should belittle or outright try to revise history like *some* in this thread have, which was the reason I started posting in the first place.
Neither should any member of a minority allow him- or herself to be fixated in a "victim mindset" since this will only hurt him/herself and prolong any bad situation that he or she may find him/herself in. It is always good to learn about the history of your people (and contrary what guys claim in this thread, I am doing so myself with great pride). Just don't get hung up on it.

Him and others who have bought into cultural marxism are just the weak willed, not the evil. The real enemies, the roots of the problem, can be found in the national institutions like the media, the academia, and increasingly the government. Those are the people who consiously and unceasingly pump the poison of leftist, anti-white propanda into our societies, and to whom weak-links like Solo here fall victim.
It's easy to call someone weak when you don't have to back it up. I am one of the few who are aware of anti-white propaganda in my own country (as well as some immigrants being more prone to violence against whites than vice versa etc). Gets suspected of being a racist when I point it out, people have started to avoid me etc LOL.
When you point out facts about immigrants, you get called a racist.
When you point out facts about Whites, you get called a racist and someone who hates your own race.

Compared to countries like Germany and Chinese, where the Germans and Chinese people have inhabited the land through history, North America has been traditionally owned by Native Indians. I would have understood an All Aryan (White) or Han (Asian) arguments in Germany or China, but in the United States? Bleh.
One of the more overlooked facts in the history of "Whites vs. Indians" is that the whites won through pure accident. The Indians died off mostly to disease, and then the whites out-reproduced them because of agricultural practices the Indians did not like.
Most of the "warfare" myths surrounding Whites vs. Indians is just hype. There really wasn't much killing of the Indians. All that happened was the Whites could sustain much higher rates of reproduction. They had a superior way of life. On top of that, Indian women found White men attractive and Indian men found White women attractive. The fact that Whites had much higher birthrates and carried genes that are slightly more recessive which breeds out non-White genes, means the Indians basically disappeared through mostly non-violent means.
I don't think this post gives an accurate account of what happened.
I don't have a number of how many Natives were killed but I would look upon most such numbers with suspicion since there are more ways to kill someone than by firing a gun. The government realized that it was more cost-efficient to marginalize them and let nature do the rest. Cultural warfare, kill their buffalos, deport and disperse them, etc. Disease killed a lot as you say. But they became much more susceptible to disease when they were deported without adequate food or shelter. I suspect US government consciously or unconsciously wanted a predominantly white country (limiting immigration from Asian countries would be further proof of that). You bring up the white god factor. Others would probably say you have exaggerated this in the past and as a White guy who has lived in Latin America for over 2 years my personal opinion is that it leads to slightly more IOIs but actually makes it harder to bang girls than for a local guy.
Lastly, I'm sure you realize that the "superior" way of life of the White man is what has ultimately given us the dystopian society we live in today in both US and Europe:
Economic development leads to democracy, which leads to feminism is about as close to a social law as you'll get.
I don't know about you but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to live in another era, as a man. Sure, life was often brutal and short. But you hunted, fought and had your harem of women. No 8-hour work days in sterile offices or snarky feminists.
We're all going to die some day, anyway. Maybe it's better to go out on the prairie than in the rest-home. Just a thought.
