Why are Americans so ethnocentric?
We mostly stole our country from peaceful Indians, killing and maiming them, then giving them the consolation prize of the worst land left.

We kidnapped millions of blacks and made them slaves, killing and maiming them, and then treating their ancestors like some kind of a lower caste.

White citizens should be made to pay for past wrongs for another 100 years.Only then will I be truly happy.It is not enough that blacks and hispanics are doing the majority of crime and ruining what would be perfectly good neighborhoods.Efforts to ruin our neighborhoods need to be stepped up.Bum from your neighbors,mug someone,rob a bank and whatever you do,keep spreading propaganda about how you are oppressed,while at the same time oppressing your neighbors.

What about Americans of Irish descent?

Black Americans aren't the only ones who have slaves in their family tree. There were Irish slaves in America, too.

Haven't you ever wondered why the Irish were so looked down upon and despised? You never wondered why American businesses used to post signs in their windows saying things like "No Irish Allowed" and "Help Wanted, No Irish Need Apply"? You never wondered about the origin of the word "paddywagon"? ("Paddy" is another name for Irishman, BTW. And, I'm curious -- how would blacks like it if a police vehicle used to arrest a large number of criminals at once was called a n*****wagon?)

So, do you think Americans of Irish descent should get reparations, too?

What kind of peyote have you been smoking?

Native American indians were anything but peaceful.

They were continually at war and in conflict conquering other tribal groups.

That's not to say that there weren't any peaceful Native American tribes. The Sachs and Fauks, who inhabited the area of western Illinois come to mind.

Speaking of the Sachs and Fauks, when they were told to vacate the areas they inhabited, the elders and most of the tribal chieftains and warriors left and travelled west, leaving the women, children, elderly and sick back at their camps.

The elders and others were parlaying with various other tribal leaders to obtain secure rite of passage through the lands of other Native American tribes. That's how thoughtful the Sachs and Fauks were.

A young captain in the Illinois Militia named Abraham Lincoln, lead his calvary troop to the encampments of the Sachs and Fauks and slaughtered all of the women, children, elderly and sick.

We kidnapped millions of blacks and made them slaves, killing and maiming them, and then treating their ancestors like some kind of a lower caste.

What kind of crack have you been smoking?

The Masai and other African tribal groups sold captured warriors or raided villages to obtain captives to sell to the Dutch and Portuguese. That's a documented undipsuted historical fact.

The Dutch and Portuguese in turn, traded or sold the slaves to islands in the Caribbean and to locations in Central and South American. The slaves were later sold to agents in the US.

So, your claim that the US kidnapped slaves from Africa is total bullshit.

Furthermore, its also an documented historical fact that many Africans came here as free men and remained so, or came as indentured servants, just like whites, and then operated businesses and services after their 7 year period of servtitude expired.

If blacks are in the lower or lowest caste, it's because they willingly choose to be there, and for no other reason.

If you do doubt this, then you only need to consult US Census bureau statistics and university statistics.

Haitians and Jamaicans come to the US, and within 10 years, have an income that is above the median income for middle class whites. Obviously, they did so without discrmination or in spite of discrimination.

Likewise, Africans immigrate to the US and within 10 years, fall into the same income range as middle class whites, again, without discrimination or in spite of it.

When looking at Haitians, Jamaicans and Africans, we must look to their respective education systems.

In those countries, less than $100 is spent per student per year. Yet, strangely, Haitains, Jamaicans and Africans are literate not only in their own language, but in English, which they speak as a second or foreign language, and they attend US universities and obtain degrees.

I teach or sit in class with Africans and they are much more intelligent, thougthful, and respectful persons than their slug-like US counter-parts. In fact, they are so different I would consider it an insult to refer to an African as "black," which might be why when I lived in Flordia that Jamaicans corrected me and explained that they are not black, they are Jamaican, and do not wish to be associated with black Americans.
