It's is just saying that we have done a lot of bad things. Massacring the natives, fighting for oil in the middle east, being a dick to every other country etc.

I know. I'm just saying that all people groups have been horrible to each other at some point in history. It's not a color thing, it's a human thing.
Yeah everyone knows that, it just that the things white people have done have lasting negative effects today more than any other race. Its like black lives matter: of course every race matters, it's just black lives are being focused on because we're being shot in the street like dogs disproportionately as apposed to white people and then they act like its not true. That doesn't mean you can't be killed by the cops if you're white, like i said, We're being murdered for stupid reasons if any reason at all at hugely disproportionate rates by the people we pay to keep us safe and most white people say that me serving facts hurts their feelings and makes them feel guilty like they're the ones living in a society where everything is made for another race that can't even be bothered to acknowledge the priveges that comes with 700+ years of oppression of multiple races. They can't even open their eyes and realize that you can and do still benefit from bad things you had no direct part in

So lets deal with the issues instead of pointing fingers. That's all I'm saying. Every people group has been both oppressor and oppressed. Let's solve the problems instead of making it continue.
You didn't say that at first, you wanted it to go from white people to all people. You wanted to spread the blame instead of focusing on something else. You might be saying that now but that's not what you said at first.

My point was that it isn't specific to white people. Everyone can be blamed for some variant of oppressing others so let's stop blaming one group and fix it.
Alot of messed up things happened, but they try to paint the american Indian as a peaceful people. They were bat crap crazy. They slaughtered white people, black people, and even there own people. White people were not the only ones with blood on there hands.
most of the natives only did what they did in response to being attacked. I do admit that some were probably like "damn, look at these weird white ass people, they must be hostile. Lets kill them" but most were just killing in response to being killed. and the whole slaughtering their own people thing, there is more than one group of native Americans and they were at war for many different reasons. Not slaughtering them selves slaughtering other native groups. Like the french and English fighting in medieval days. Also many of the disputes were settled with various sports such as stick-ball or something similar. the sports were much more violent than now but very few people died from stick-ball than war.
"Did what they did in response to being attacked."
Um no, the natives were the ones who broke the first treaties and launched surprise attacks on the colonists. After agreeing to live peacefully with them it was the natives who attempted to wipe out all of the colonists, not the other way around.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE THIS IS TO WORLD HISTORY? Asia? Africa? the Italian unification in the 1800s? The Silk Road in China? this post is racist, not against white people, but claiming nothing apart from white people ever mattered
You feeling guilty is your problem, they said nothing about you. They said IN HISTORY that's how its been not now. If only your ancestors did something bad but you havent why are you ashamed because according to you, you can't help that. Its just history, get over it.
*hugs and shushes* don't act like they did hundreds of years ago because you know they were idiots. You also know that all violence is optional. I believe in you, be the best of humanity. Peace and harmony motherfucker
