Now it really isn't fair to blame the "white people" because Europeans had the desire to own
everything...the problem is greed. Native American tribes killed members of other tribes or obliterated some tribes completely for food, territory, and goods before the Europeans showed up.
It has been capitalist societies who have taken greed to its farthest reaches and the early settlers in this country even had help from some Native tribes with the destruction of others to remove them from wanted lands. The downfall for those natives was that those they helped fed them empty promises...deceit is older than the "white man" too.
Don't get me wrong, I am part Apache and think what my Native Ancestors suffered at the hands of my European ancestors is deplorable but I won't blame "white people" for capitalizing on the profit they tend to gain by trade any sooner than I would blame them for creating deceit.
Not
all white people are lying capitalist pigs who are looking to take you for your money or property and some of the people who
are aren't "white". [img]smile.gif[/img]
