No one needs math to burn, loot, and murder.

Isn't that how white people came to this country, by killing the native Indian and the Mexican?

Well, the white people weren't exactly welcomed in, given free benefits, welfare, snap benefits, housing, job training(if they wanted), clothing, schooling, and the same freedoms extended to everyone else.

It is funny how people like you are quick to bring up the past when it suits you. Sure, you'll spout out equality and peace, and love. How everyone should be treated with dignity and respect....Everyone except whites amiright? Fuck off back to reddit.

The native Indian had no concept of SNAP benefits or welfare, but I'm pretty sure they invited us to sit down and share food and smoke their little peace pipe and what did we do we killed them.

.. and then we called them savages.

They didn't exactly do that either. You are confusing storybooks with reality. Stop watching costner movies and kids Thanksgiving pageants.

I grew up outside of an Indian reservation. I am fairly familiar with the native Indian mentality and his culture.

From where did you learn about the native Indian?

I have family who fostered native children. The parents would occasionally get the fostered child back for a while, and sell everything that was given to them by my family (bicycle, cell phone, clothes), and buy drugs and alcohol. If they got this child back, the kids would have lost a ton of weight, because they had no food. In almost all cases, the kids were sexually abused and beaten by their own relatives. It is near impossible to aactually adopt a native child, if you are not indian.

I also lived near an indian reservation growing up, and saw a lot of messed up stuff growing up. Scary.

Not really. The natives attacked killed newcomers just like they did other native who trespassed into their territory. They did the same with the vikings when they settled. The difference is that later settlers could defend themselves better.

I do know how Indians treated me, and it's a lot different than how you people treat me.
