No, I haven't heard of any of this but I'm not really surprised

. That's basically why I said I wasn't certain: it's definitely clear that there have been atrocities committed against native Americans that I (and everybody else in the Western world) haven't been taught about in school

Actually two, cause you didn't read it. Which is only what's documented. Most outbreaks in general weren't documented. There's no documentation on the results. Clear evidence that our massacre did do a huge part in spreading smallpox. Regardless of intent, which was there, it was still a welcomed byproduct and contributor to their genocide.

That's the Columbian Exchange for ya.

Or perhaps because the Natives didn't invade Europe, trying to intentionally spread syphilis or commit a mass racial genocide of Europeans.

I was never taught any of this in school either.

It's not as hominem because I'm not even considering your assertions to be a stance or position. Just dumb racist butthole wind.

Unless you are trying to make the argument that the Europeans had godlike powers over disease like something out of Avatar: The Last Airbender, you clearly agree with my points even if you don't realize it.

All I can say is that Europe was very lucky that the Aztecs didn't have big shiny ships that could sail the seven seas. Would have made for a very different history than the one we have.

The Trail of Tears makes every US history text and in the same texts Andrew Jackson who signed it into law is hailed as a champion of “democracy”

The enforcement of The Indian Removal Act and what ICE is doing now are peas in a pod. And Jackson is on our ****ing money. There’s a large statue of him in New Orleans right around the corner from the port that brought millions of kidnapped African slaves where they were auctioned on the spot and where no monument exists recognizing that holocaust to this very day.

You have a strange talent of making your farts sound like they're saying "What about"

This fart smells like a strawman.
