  1. American land was bought. The native tribes who lived there took money for the land then refused to leave.

  2. America was not built by slaves. The slaves did manual labour on farms and in homes. Not one single building, factory, shop, or home was built by slaves.

3 America was not imperialist. There were no American colonies until arguably Hawaii. America was the colonies. The resources were being exported to England until emancipation.

The narrative that people who have things naturally must have stolen them from those who don't is retarded on its face. You can't steal things from people who don't have things.

Looting is wrong. Period.

The native tribes who lived there took money

Since the native tribes didn't have money before and didn't understand what it means, that doesn't sound like an honest transaction.

Agreed, but that is WAY oversimplified and does not give the First Nations much credit, making them sound like babies.
