    lets not pretend that the US sprouted up out of nothing from nowhere and decide on a whim to slaughter native people. the American continent exists as it does today because of European colonial projects, and the brutal treatment of natives was official policy of the pope

      No, no, no, this is all wrong. When we discuss immigration and the current situation in the US all Americans are European immigrants.

      When we talk about the genocide of the natives Americans, it was done by Americans, Europeans had nothing to do with it.
