“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Nеgroes on our shores, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society… We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade.”
The fact that the descendants of the people who were indigenous here, are now outnumbered roughly 17 to 1 by the descendants of people who were dragged here against their will, says an awful lot about this country.
