First of all, those little nuggets I mentioned are happening today.
Second of all, you're talking about things that happened over a hundred years ago and were based on political policy not cultural norms. The Native Americans were so peaceful. It's not like they didn't savage settlers or anything. Our governement started killing them for no reason. They were also so advanced. The first time they saw the wheel was when they saw their first horse drawn carriage, not to mention a saddle.
Third of all, I'm sure you got the full picture of the middle east travelling with the secretary of state/ national security advisor. I'm sure you guys were rubbing elbows with the natives and talking about how advanced they are and how aligned their thinking is with contemporary values.
Do you ever study anything or are you just so pleased with yourself and your opinions that are divorced from reality that you don't need to study?
