    One of the bigger genocides was committed by a group that literally modeled themselves after us in many ways. Especialy the bigotry. The US and Canada were still performing genocide on first nations people into the 1970s and 80s. They’re still finding unmarked mass graves. And that’s not even mentioning the race massacres across the US. Of which Oklahoma was just one. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg of the things that we did to ourselves. And doesn’t cover any of the clandestine actions perform across the rest of the world. Destabilizing other nations. Causing constant Wars strife and suffering all for our benefit.

    America was founded on bigotry. Those pilgrims. They came here because the rest of Europe didn’t want to roll over and allowed them to enforced their hatred on everyone else. Not to mention the slavery even.

    We’ve made progress since those days for sure. But generally far less than most other nations we do business with. And far less than we would like to believe.

    *down votes but no rebuttals. To whomever that was. I’ll take that as your acknowledgment of being wrong.
