  1. No offense but African Americans weren't indigenous to North America. Even the American Indians weren't indigenous to North America. If you do enough research it's actually very interesting how the history of North Americas population began. I think it would definitely slap the faces of all these so called, Americans. That see America as this Lily white, land of Christianity and pureness.

  2.  @Gerryjournal  And nothing. The man was making some points that were not factual in respect to indigenous people in America and I just filled in the blanks. If you're going to use history to make personal points, tell it all. No offense to his opinion. And I wasn't being belligerent.

  3. ​ @Gerryjournal  I understand. I wasn't picking on the whole explanation. Just the point about indigenous America being discriminated against. All because of prejudice. As people started coming to North America. They came for different reasons. Some were colonists some were slave's, brought by the Dutch and maybe Spain to be basically laborers. I guess my point was, it's not always prejudice that made people think poorly about other races. This is why I have a little skepticism about the truth that slavery alone was the cause of the civil war. Trust me. I'm no trumpy or bigot. I just question a lot, because I realize there is bigotry from many different directions. It's not always unjustified or blind. Sometimes there are reasons why people develop animosity. And it's labeled as prejudice. That's why I tried to explain my comment but maybe got misunderstood. Just as with the border situation now. Most people accept peppered and legal immigration with no problem. But it is true, that a mass exodus from whole countries, not only puts a mass strain on resources. But does, affect our labor oriented jobs. I know for a fact, as a carpenter. So. I may develop prejudice. And I believe justifiably. And that may have been a reason for prejudice to thrive in our early history. I think this is why I may be a little sensitive to this issue.
