Of course, we can't ask anyone who was a slave in the US what they think about it. Here's a list of Jewish Nazi collaborators. I'm sorry, where have I ever advocated for anyone to have the right to oppress others? Everyone has the right to be an asshole. Some people, such of yourself, even make a career out of it. I wasn't aware I was giving out passes. I don't know. How does the estimated 100 million Native Americans dying at the hands of Europeans after 1492 compare to the Holocaust in your eyes? Said little girl obviously has it worse. Well, if you're going to expand things from just a narrow period of time, you know the years of Nazi rule, vs the period of time since Jews became a distinct social group, then you have to do the same for Africans, which goes back some 350K years. And how do you reconcile Ethiopian Jews being discriminated against by Israeli Jews? Should that be counted as discrimination against Africans, or discrimination against Jews?
Most of those died by disease which in nearly 100% of the cases was not spread deliberately by Europeans.
That's a loading diagram of a slave ship garamet. It has no relevance to diseases killing Native Americans.
And we check the newspapers from there whenever you don't post for a while, but you keep disappointing us by not killing yourself.
I'm not an internet tough guy. I personally abhor violence on a personal level though I understand it sometimes can be useful.
The topic was "transit." I assumed you were talking about how slaves were transported from Africa to the Americas. You'd prefer deaths about Native peoples? Try this: http://www.history.com/topics/native-american-history/trail-of-tears Only one of numerous examples. And don't pretend it wasn't deliberate, "history teacher."
Perhaps not, but we can listen to their history as recorded before they died: https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/voices/vfssp.html
Your numbers about pre and post contact America are way off. The highest high count estimate on population was around 90 million for the entire western hemisphere as only abput 1/3 of that area had any sort of agriculture. Also the vast, vast, vast majority of those who died did so of disease without ever having seen a white person. Much of the conquest which did happen (such as Peru and Mexico, hell, even Plymouth Rock) was made possible vecause disease had so badly disrupted native societies killing off huge swaths of it. Ultimately, tgere was a 90% population reduction nearly all of it due to disease. We see that in virtually all virgin populations at first exposure to diseases. It doesn't matter if we are talking about Pacific Islanders, Siberian natives in the far north, or Asiatic wanderwrs who settled in the Americas.
Most of the "old world diseases" were introduced inadvertently to the "new world populations" long before it was clearly understood how diseases were transmitted. Now you'll bring up the old tales of blankets of disease victims being donated to the Indians. I've tracked down a number of these claims and the only one I've ever been able to verified was a PROPOSAL by the British to do this once. But no evidence it was actually done. And never by Americans. You've gotten too much of your history about Native American relations from episodes of "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman" garamet. It's a pretty good family show. But it isn't a worthwhile history lesson.
They don't want to hear the truth because the truth doesn't conform to their preconceived notions of evil white people. The book 1491 is written from a pretty left leaning view point but even it admits the majority of the 90% population reduction virtually all virgin populations experience upon first contact happened before the year 1600 and certainly before the year 1650. In fact, pigs escaping or being released by explorers was a major early spreader of disease.
