Genocide of Indigenous Peoples

[VCheng]

You can deny it, just like the west claims China did genocide in Xinjiang and Tibet, but no Muslim countries buy that crap. Tibetans and Uyghurs are still the dominant population in Tibet and Xinjiang, which states in US are still dominant by American natives?

No need to deny. We are not communists. As I said above:

No worries. What history tells us is how to learn from it and make USA ever better. And we are. Slowly but surely.

Glorifying Genocide?

Of course not, no communists can kill off all the native population and totally take over their lands.

Wit due respect,
what are you boasting / trying to say,

Successfully wiping out the native population and taking over their lands?

I suppose your complaints are about what the Europeans did in centuries past. USA has moved on a long way since then. But please feel free to dwell in the past.

Glorifying Genocide?

Nope. Learning from it so it doesn’t happen again.

Most killings were done after US became a country. You don't know your own history?

Between 1800 and 1900, the American Indians lost more than half of their population, and their proportion in the total U.S. population dropped from 10.15% to 0.31%. Throughout the 19th century, while the U.S. population grew by 20-30% every 10 years, the Indian population experienced a precipitous decline.

What are you trying to say?

and please lets leave Wiki alone.

I'm trying to say the first settlements in what is now the US happened in ~1620.
1620-1492=128 years after the start of the horrific killings of Native Americans in the Americas by mostly the Spanish.

Most of the deaths of Native Americans had already occurred long before the first settlers in what is now the US.

Nobody however wants to point this out because it doesn't fit their narrative of pinpointing the US for everything bad that happened.

Same with the African slave trade. 97% of the slaves were not sent to the US or Canada. It was mostly in South America and the Caribbean. However nobody wants to point that out because it doesn't fit their narrative of pinpointing the US for everything bad that happened.

How Many Slaves Landed in the US? – The Root

www.theroot.com

10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America.
And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That's right: a tiny percentage.

Could you please tell us the years this happened and how USA has changed since then?

Answer to a question is not Question always, once in your life try to make sense.

After you killed off almost all of them, you can't kill them again, they were already gone.

Actually only some of us. And the generations that followed have learnt from their history and improved the country significantly since then. Progress you know.

The difference is real genocide vs fake genocide. Also, after you killed off almost all the people, you surely can not do that to them again cause they'd already been gone.

By the same token, I can argue that indigenous Chinese was murdered and genocided by other indigenous Chinese in the last 5000 years of war within China. Does that mean all the Chinese should be gone?

You are talking about war during the 1000s years of history, indigenous people are going to die regardless since there are fractional war between each tribe. Warfare are part of life, it's naive to think without European interaction there will not be any war.

The answer is self evident. Trying to hold history to modern interpretations is a false endeavor.
