So, rather than guilt, the aim is self-loathing?
Okay, I'll still take a pass.
If you ask me (and my Cree girlfriend) the people that should be footing the bill for these atrocities and groveling posthumously are:
A) The crown of England (feel free to include Spain and other colonial powers here)
B) The vatican.
Regardless, these are issues that should be stamped in history books the same as the holocaust. It isn't about "guilt". It's about history.

I love the cherry picking nature of your sliver of history that just so happens to paint just the right light of the US that your little agenda needed.
Had you been a true student of history you would have a plethera of such examples of mass displacements of entire cultures and peoples not limited to a young country. Also some which were far worse.
How many people (languages, spiritual beliefs, and genetically different people) did the roman empire kill you think?
How about the persian empire? The mayan? How about the northern Nubian kingdoms of the great old Africa of ancient times? How many peoples you think they eliminated?
or the austrian empire, or the royal houses of europe and the far east in establishing their power?
The point is you have to be pretty retarded to think that the entirety of human existence pails in comparison to the horrors a single nation may or not be responsible of in the span of 200 years......
Your agenda is lame and as such is not even entertaining .......please. Read some more and at least spruce it up some.
You throw some cliche argument of the actions of people from a different time so far removed that not even their grandchildren are alive anymore as if we are supposed to act think or respond with some sort of imposed guilt from you played out words
guess what.......I don't give a flying monkey chuck of dung.
After even a couple of months actually studying history you begin to see the true form of human nature. How are you supposed to "teach" us about the atrocities of my people to mankind when you probably don't even know who your people even are and far less what mankind really is?
Drink some more milk and read some more before you have the balls to condemn a whole people professor .......edit on 2-8-2013 by tadaman because: (no reason given)

that's a cheap retort. You and everyone knows that was MY argument to describe what was attempted to be done here....the rest is just fluff.....
what's your point son?
Actually, Hitler admired the British, and wanted peace with them. He must have thought they were good Aryans.
He had London bombed because of what the RAF did to Hamburg.
