FIFH "Todays Illegals ushered in a wave of devastation... Purporting violence, stealing things and spreading disease.

This is a speech from 2021. I am not saying that her point of view has changed. She goes on to introduce various aid and infrastructure programs. I just skimmed through it and did not pay attention to the details.

The native peoples were fighting among tribes and nations long before the Europeans came here. Some tribes welcomed, even helped the immigrants. Others violently opposed them. Later some allied with whites against other tribes. The only continent that has not seen migration, wars and alliances between various peoples is Antarctica.
Wrongs have been done throughout the world for ages. I bear not guilt for what my maternal ancestors, who came in the 1700s, may have done. You cannot change the past. You can only deal with the present.

On today’s date in 1066, the Norman invasion of England commenced. Clearly reparations are owed and those French people need to return home.

And what many want to call "Native "Americans", well, ain't. They're Native Asians. I don't mind something like the term that Canada uses: "First Canadians".

Are the heathen gods still accepting sacrifices?

Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Christopher Columbus found his way to CENTRAL America (the Bahamas)... Not the shores of the good old US of A.

Spain then spread it's influence all over South and Central America resulting in it's language & culture being spread down there.

The Vikings (who landed in Newfoundland hundreds of years earlier) never got any credit at all because their settlement didn't last very long.

It wasn't 'til the Pilgrims landed that the North American continent was opened to settlement. If you ask me, (and nobody ever did) credit for discovering "America" as in OUR America... goes to the Pilgrims.

As far as "stolen lad" goes... Ha! Every nation in human history was created by being taken over from somebody else.

Once again people insist on looking at events and people over 500 years in the past through the lens of the 21st century. Makes me wonder how enlightened the 21st century will look to people calculating time by star date in the future.

Wait, I thought we were supposed to be unburdening our selves of the past?

If I say all the things that I want to say here, the mod's wouldn't let me back in until sometime during the next century.

I prefer the term conqueror to colonizer.
