An American degree is "worthless" and by your post you only have a HighSchool qualification? Which is what we earn at 16 in the United Kingdom.

By claiming Native Americans are uneducated you show you lack basic knowledge about your own Nations history.

What do Indian Americans have to do with my nation's history, other than being a nusiance? They were living in a stoneage hence they were uneducated.

Aim, they are afraid. It is the same with any request for true self analysis. Much as children do not really believe that pulling the covers over their heads will protect them from monsters, yet do so, in an instinctive, psychological response revealing that they would much rather not see what threatens them. It is much easier to discount the terrible, than to realise it; realisation would require a response. To state the obvious, things are just not bad enough yet for the majority to be moved to action.
Forgive me for using this analogy, but the Matrix is very comfortable place (in general). Man is basically geared to a "challenge & response" type of survival methodology. If there is no immediate perceivable threat, then no action is required. Unfortunately, the machinations & manipulations of the past, present and the ones which are extant for the future, are not in the guise of poignant, immediate threats. It is a slow game, more akin to 3 dimensional chess than to what humans expect (rock-paper-scissors). As a result, the main herd is never spooked; just those with greater awareness, located around the edges (the fringe element?).

So, do you have any proof of this; no. Earth is just a planet with life on it. Nothing more, nothing less.

What other than the fact they were there first and had good lives that didn't adversely affect the planet in any significant way?
Other than the fact they they have countless years of knowledge that could be useful in both spiritual and practical ways, but most peolpe can't be bothered to listen?
How would you feel if someone came and took 'your nation' away from you because they didn't like the way you live, in the name of 'progress'?
Perhaps we (Great Britain) should give you the naughty child a good spanking and take back control, as you seem to be making some rather childish, insulting and thoughtless remarks that can accomplish little more than make more enemies and re-inforce ideas that some people have, being that America is an out of control brat that no-one wants to claim responsibility for.
Try and grow up and learn some history before you ruin it for everyone, yeah?
