      @@mrsalwaysright6478 Like I read it somewhere, why not let Native Americans have Europe, since Europeans have had both North & South America Continents; a fair deal?
      May I ask if you care to know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland. Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.Today, Native Americans population at 15 million, while European population, in Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'ONE BILLION'! For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived.
      Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it. All they need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations. Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc. Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from the scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for ten of thousand of years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people.
      Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of European population.
      In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is this another notorious Colonization still lingering on?

Not all tribes wared with others WITHOUT reason. No different than Europe. Europeans could be really brutal with each other as well. Just remember history is written by the victors. Read up on the Iroquois Confederation, its an eye opener. Also Andrew Jackson a democrat signed the Indian removal act. Why? Because they was to much like the rest of white American culture at the time. Including Cherokee Senators and congressmen. The democrat elite couldn't have that now could they?? LOL..

Speaking to. And it's chocking how arrogance and ignorance/ignorance and arrogance goe's hand in hand. What the US government and politic does for USA is like the nazi did before ww2, and what Israel do in its eria, USA, Israel and UK is a dictatorship that SS controlling, and yes the infamous SS. And listen to this zionist's and nazist's cooperated with each other long before ww2 and ww1, the ordinary jew has nothing to do with zionist's, like ordinary people in the west has nothing to do with nazi's but nazism and zionism is infact the SS, the ZIONAZISM is OWO (one world order) or what they say is true name (O:1*UP1PO) united people 1 planet order.

      I absolutely abhor what "our Government?" has done to the Native American's! The problem is too many of "Americans" think they should own the world and yet they never think of the continuing atrocities this government inflicts abroad as they did when they stole this land. Wake up American residents - you are not really free! If you think you own your home, you don't - a legislator has written that the government "state or otherwise" can take your home if you don't pay any levy or fine they deem you owe! They will take if by force & without compunction - kill you if you resist. Isn't government great? I think not! Live by the Golden Rule - not a ruler who thinks it is good to go abroad and kill for gold!

However I needed to learn Spanish because I was going to Latin America to study and do research. I was shocked when I saw the students in my first Spanish class in the U.S. More than half the class was made up of Mexican American students whose parents were afraid to teach them Spanish. Their parents had been hit by their public school teachers if they were “caught” speaking Spanish. If they spoke English with any Spanish accent they would be turned down for jobs etc. So there I sat in Spanish class along with many people who had Mexican/Spanish names and who bore the traits of their ancestor’s faces as we learned the Spanish alphabet, conjugated verbs and memorized vocabulary with people who could have easily grown up bilingual and saved all of that trouble
