If I get Mugged,
but the mugger only gets the Wallet that I got from picking someone's pocket,
which has money in it, 'earned' via Ponzi Scheme
that was originally 'won' playing 3 card Monte

Am I still a Victim?

REMEMBER WHEN OUR FOUNDING FATHERS KILLED A MILLION BUFFALO TO STARVE THE NATIVE AMERICANS? | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Someone's trying really hard to justify the systematic genocide the US committed against Native Americans, not to mention forcing them onto the reservations after murdering them and stealing their land. Next you're going to use their poverty and alcoholism as some justification for their "removal."

Scarlett Johansson as Silkin Floss in The Spirit.

The template is called, "Scarlett Johansson, Silkin Floss, The Spirit"
But type in just "silk" and it shows up.

Exponentially More Natives dies by simple contact (lack of immunity to European Diseases) in the ~150 Years between Columbus and Plymouth Rock than have died by Action of the US Govt. in 244 years...

A hundred million deaths?

Dude, combining North, Central, and South America, there were hardly even 60 million Native Americans before colonists first began visiting those continents...

Says who? I'm talking overall numbers. I haven't put any date restrictions on this.

“The biggest killers though were smallpox, measles, influenza, whooping cough, diphtheria, typhus, bubonic plague, cholera, and scarlet fever. All imported by the Europeans colonists.”

You should. Back then native Americans didn’t have a concept of land ownership, so they couldn’t possibly have land stollen from them. They did have hunting territories that tribes fought each other over but nobody “owned” land.

I'm not sure if you'll get this meme either. I was aware when i posted that first comment that republicans don't have the concepts of stealing, lying, and morality in general but, dopey me, i forgot that sarcasm has never pushed you toward accountability in the past, so why would it suddenly work now? Bless your heart.

Based on your comment, it’s obvious you don’t have a grasp on reality. So it’s no wonder you think settlers of what became the US, Canada, Mexico, etc. we’re all thieves who “stole” land from previous settlers. Do you think settlers of countries on other continents just inherited their land?
Unlike the US, those settlers didn’t even give the people who were there before them reservation land. So spare us your “better than thou” attitude.

When you are willing to uproot your family, return to wherever your ancestors immigrated from, and give your property to a Native American tribe, then you might be able to show us “immoral republicans” how righteous you are. Until then, you’re not only lying, stealing and immoral, you’re also hypocritical.

i don't own any land, poop pickle, and a grand history of theft doesn't justify subsequent theft. sorry to disappoint you with my lesser evil. i know you'll find a way to be okay with it ( :

I didn’t say return your “land”. You should return all your ill gotten property such as household furnishings, automobiles, money, etc. since you got those things via “stollen” land. Until you do, and move back to the homeland of your ancestors, you’re just being hypocritical condemning the country and people who allowed you to live here get those items in the first place.

Yes, it is upsetting to me to see people like you suffer from ignorance. Maybe after you get off work you can study about American and world history. Until then, stop spewing your ignorance in public.

I will consider your advice, although on the surface I have to admit it sounds preachy, self-aggrandizing, and based in faulty assumptions.

So what your saying is... Karma? (obvious joke the trail of tears was pretty f**ked up)
