Nah, it's all good. I actually wrote this post anyway, so I think I did my part in getting this message out. People are reluctant to listen at the moment it seems because they're still drunk on the belief that American is going to be great again. I wonder when it ever was.. perhaps before it was invaded by the Europeans and the soil blooded with genocide?

Nah, the natives were killing each other before anyone else got here. If they would have thought of it, they would have genocided too. It turns out, most of the natives died of disease brought by the explorers, and when Europeans were handing out blankets, germ theory hadn't even been invented. There might have been an infected blanket, but the people handing them out to the shivering natives didn't know it. The rest seem to have married my ancestors.
Not sure we've been great, but given the other choices, I'll take what I've got, and try to make it better.
