The difference between the policy of Native American removal and those you listed is that it was around 180 years ago, and it existed well into the late 19th century. It was particularly interesting because the US held itself to a different standard from the rest of the world, in that its citizens were putting the social contract theory into effect, but that standard of "life, liberty, happiness, and property" did not exist for blacks, and it didn't exist for Native Americans unless they agreed to move from their lands or assimilate.
You're under the wrong impression, though. Like Blaze said, we're not subject to what happened in the past. The thing is, you made a claim that's proven wrong by historical consensus, and I corrected you. The fact is we did force Natives from their land and we did commit genocide.
If you're talking about US history, then you totally missed the entire ****ing point of it. It's not to make you feel guilty, it's to teach you what actually happened. They wouldn't put Native American genocide or slavery in text books of it didn't happen. US history is filled with white people who did bad shit. People do bad shit. Who ****ing knew? God, you're ridiculous.
You're wasting your time arguing with him. He thinks his ideas are absolute
