6. Unbearably true, isn't it? Civilization didn't happen until the Europeans arrived, and cleared the place out!

They did their best to destroy all traces of organized life already in process, terrorized, tortured, mutilated, massacred as many citizens as possible, enslaved the leftovers, and made certain to degrade, despise, deprive all following generations far into our futures, treating them worse than they'd treat trash, and training their putrid, idiotic, pointless spawn to carry their own hate torches with them forever, as well.

They make certain no tones of respect are ever engaged in any of the history books whenever the native people are mentioned. They have never acknowledged the high suicide rates among the first people all these centuries, up to the present. They have reduced them to being seen as odd people who perform dances at tourists spots, drink a lot, bumble around foolishly, with no place in "our" society. Investigations of murders of the first people are often never seriously undertaken, even now.

For sure, the "New World" got lucky when the pasty, pompous, self-entitled Europeans stomped or waddled off their boats and demanded the people who were here already get the #### outta sight or drop dead.

It's a delight to have seen your post. Thank you!
