How many millions of Native Americans died, can you give me a number? The Holocaust Museum in Houston can. There were estimated to be over ten million living in what would become the United States. By the year 1900, there were less than 300,000.
That’s more than the amount of Jews killed in WW2. And that’s just before the nation was even fully formed.
I mean, yes, that would be flags of other nations which currently exist right? The colonists weren’t American, they were specially citizens of Spain, England, Portugal, etc. You have a point that America is shit, but their argument is specific to the wording used in the meme.
I think I’m confused about what you mean now. When the colonists first arrived, none of them were American, nor using the American flag as shown in the original picture, because it didn’t exist yet. They were specifically using other flags because they were citizens of other colonial nations. If your point is colonialism and the treatment of native people was bad, then yes of course you are correct. But if your point is that it was U.S. Americans doing it with an American government and American policies in place, then you are incorrect. Other places are unfortunately bad too, not just the United States.

So, before it was the United States and before this symbol…
so you’re gonna ignore the colonists killing millions of native americans because they weren’t technically called americans yet. classic.

did they leave after they took the whole nation or something?
