(463 posts)I make no excuses for republicans, democrats, independents, decline to states, what have you. The truth is that people are people where ever you go. The American Indians did not live in some type of Hippie Shangri-la before Columbus. It was a hard scrabble life of bitter cold, intense unrelenting heat, rampant disease, crop failures, exterminations of various animal species, and inter/intratribal warfare. Who the heck do you think the Aztec used as sacrifice, not their own, but captured enemy peple. Heck the Sioux didn't even believe other tribes were even people.
The blacks sold each other to the Portuguese for firearms and gunpowder to fight their own wars. Read some history about what the Zulu tribe did in south Africa long before the Europeans arrived.
Face history folks no group has totally clean hands.
