Its interesting
but I'm not entirely shocked.
As an African American I always (even as a young child in school) wondered where all the "indians" were if they lived here when the "pilgrims" arrived.
When I found out the truth, everything else became suspect and downhill we went from there. (it was unfathomable to me as a child that people could work and not be rewarded i.e. paid)... These things were "santa claus isn't real" moments for me, frankly.
This country (although not unique in its inhumanity) has an ugly foundation it has been built on. I cannot blame the "history makers" for not wanting it completely exposed. Its really ugly. My fear is that damn karma thing, you know? If i became a billionaire by stealing and enslaving those around me, I'd sincerely be looking for the "other shoe to drop" some day. I fear for my country (America) and hope we can somehow prevent ourselves from winding up on the receiving end of the equation, what with the way things are going in the world it seems like were moving in that direction.
