From Germany bashing, to Native American bashing...to two feathers bashing.
Cenimo and Woseley, you claim to be wise and intellectual men, yet you foolishly jumped to conclusions when I mentioned America's less-than-perfect record. My comments alluded to more than what was done to the Native people of this country, but you didn't bother to ask, did you? It was so much easier to assume I was "whining" about my people. That way, you could express your disgust about a race of people and their hopes of aquiring God-given rights that have been denied them. You obviously know very little about Native Americans. I will ignore the things you said about me, but I cannot ignore what you have said about my people.
My dear fellow, go back and read my post (#18) again.
Nowhere did I mention you personally, nor Native Americans specifically.
I mentioned a statute of limitations on
anyone experiencing genocide.
Then I listed a few of my ancestors who were abused by invaders to their countries, in the exact same way you have alluded to abuse your people suffered by invaders to yours.
My point being that just about every race on the planet has been the target of racial warfare at one time or another. Your people suffered it from my people. My people suffered it from the Magyars and Huns. The Pygmies suffered it from the Bantus. The Austroasians suffered it from the Chinese. The Chinese suffered it from the Japanese.
The guilty race in all this is the human one.
Here in America, of course, the wounds are still raw because they're new. For Europeans, they're less raw, being not so new. For Autroasians, they're even less raw, being rather quite ancient.
But---nowhere in this thread did I mention you specifically.
I did, however, mention you specifically here:

What I said then still goes.
Good evening, sir.
