So the Indians killed each other and raped the land before the white man came and put up a "real estate office"? Please, actually read a modern history of early America. I beg you, try Richter's 'Facing East from Indian Country'. The history that modern historians discover is not anti-white, or "reverse racist", it just takes into account the Native American perspective and real history. Go back to the beginning, read de Las Casas. Or check out an anthology of Native American writings on their Holocaust like 'Eating Fire, Tasting Blood'. It is a tragic history, one where it is safe to say Anglo-European played an almost exclusive role as an oppressor, with the occasional native American revolt. Please look at the history before trying to be funny and use one example to try to reverse historical roles to exonerate whites. No one group can be said to be completely to blame, but those who had more control and did more damage, and still do today, can certainly be given more blame than others, who were mostly at their mercy.

The only "ridiculous myth" is You claiming to have some kind of understanding of American Indian life past and present... Let alone your own "white" world. Warner Todd Huston, What is the point?
