A Lil History

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

We owe the British a bow and a salute for their actions at the close of the American Revolution - they kept their promise to the Black Americans and evacuated thousands of them, who had fought as loyalists, to freedom and sanctuary in the Caribbean, New Brunswick and London.

Much better that we Americans have treated our people; the Apaches for one.

? just the Apaches? the white man (American) have killed of many tribes across the country, hell just look at the native tribes in California and look what we did to them.

I will point out that our diseases killed far more Native Americans than those killed by fighting. I am curious why our diseases were so much more devastating for Americans than vice versa.

What about the Jews?

What about the Jews?

Or the original genocidal action by Africans on those already in Europe and Asia some 100K years ago.

And what about the Armenian atrocities committed on the Azeri people in the Transcaucus Wars of the early 1920's.

Trail of Tears 1838, Armenian Expulsion from Ottoman Turkey 1915. Less then 100 years apart.

( )0( ) where things happen to these and those peoples, over times

There are always the Jews to kick around. Yes the Eternal Jew, the ever ready scapegoat.

One of those North African nations, Tunisia possibly, is trying to "invite" its' Jewish population back.

I guess they suffer a shortage of targets.

And then there is my favorite archaic Holiday, The Day of the Covenant. aka Day of the Vow.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Vow

Commemorating a pact with the God of Jesus leading to a major victory. I would call it the culling of the Zulus. 1838

And don't forget the victimized Jews of 4,000 years.

Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Rome, "The Church", both East and West, . . . . . Nazis . . . .McCarthy . .

You have a point however the Native Americans in California died from lead poisoning, it happened between 1849 and 1850 or so, Mexicans were shown the door, Indians were exterminated.

The thread was on the British, Indians or the Americans - No need to bring in the Armenian Genocide or the Jews

By the Apaches, I was referring to the capture of Geronimo in 1886. Approximately 300 Apaches, friendly to the U.S. Army and U.S. Apache scouts were used to finally capture Geronimo. In the end, these loyal apaches were shipped to Florida along with the renegades.

Moi,

Your bigoted views of Africans does not pan out. Some of the most devout followers of Judaism are the Ethiopian Jews. You need a history lesson.

Except for the father of grandpa Ralph, 1/2 Apache, 1/2 Mexican, he fled to Mexico. (family history)
