Technically, Native Americans weren't native to the continent. So, even they were immigrants.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

The Native Americans had a bad immigration policy. They should have built a wall and made Europe pay for it.

I like how "there were other more terrible things/people (so it wasn't too bad)" kind of argument pops up in these kind of posts

Thank heaven Sitting Bull didn't live to see himself exploited by hipster guilt-mongers. Yeah, we get it, you hate the establishment.

We would not. Wearing it on at shirt to my white family thanks giving however is hilarious.

Only white man would say that a place is not "settled" until they take over.

If it wasn't for the Mayflower you'd still be living in mud huts and eating dogs.

Considering the Indians drove them off of cliffs in the thousands with no possible way to use all of them just for a couple hundred people.

how come the disappearing native americans aren't used as a cautionary example against excessive immigration today?

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 3

Because the oppressive conquerors with superior weaponry are already in the places currently freaking out about immigration.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

really not the point. slowing native reproduction plus high immigration and high immigrant reproduction will have the same result.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

As a war and genocide? Doubt it. Also, who are you calling "native", and when would immigrants have reproduced long enough to count as such?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because immigrants aren't landing on your shores with highly organized armies equipped with energy weapons?

Don't try to justify your xenephobia by comparing your "plight" to the atrocities you inflicted on the Native Americans.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

No, they won't. Slowing reproduction is hella different from being slaughtered by smallpox and technologically superior invaders.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

it isn't different in the end. either way, a people and culture disappear.

rigid and unwilling to adapt. And frankly, you have no right to cry about disappearing cultures when Europeans spent the last 200 years

My God, grow up. Cultures change. You think European culture today is the same European culture 500 years ago? You disappear if you're

I mean historically, European cultures tend to be nearly wiped out by other European cultures. Nazi Germany, the Thirty Years War,

Sitting Bull was born in 1831, well after America became America.

True, but for some reason we do not have any pictures from natives earlier than that, go figure XD

Are we arguing over names, dates, crimes against other nations or semantics? Once we establish that then we can begin to nitpick.

Not arguing, simply stating a fact. You're free to do whatever you like with the information.

Thank you for being one of few people to read things....like books.

I read books. Just not history. Rather live in scifi or fantasy books, than reading about Wounded Knee or the Alamo.

Where was he born and was it considered part of America at the time?

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

The American continents were named as far back as the 1500s.

I was thinking the country not the continent but that's a fair point.

It is most commonly used to refer to the USA, so I can't blame you for thinking that first.

There is no country called, America.

The country's not really named "America", it's the United States of America.

But even if we're talking USA, Sitting Bull was from the Dakotas, which were purchased from France in 1803 in the Louisiana Purchase.
