American Indians were not fucking massacred by Europeans... At least 90% of deaths were due to disease.. even if you don't know your history facts, use a bit of common Sense about diseases, given the technology of the time, even with Europeans possessing the most advanced technology the world had ever known, they couldn't possibly have traversed the lands (AND searched for and found each person to kill with a sword, since the gun wasn't invented until the 16th century, and even then the bullets were EXPENSIVE) faster than a disease. I think diseases spread at a factorial rate - there is no way at any point in history, before nuclear weapons, that anyone could kill at a rate faster than a disease.
Your entire claim is made because of white peoples' innate predisposition to feel guilt and empathy. You have to understand, this innate predisposition always did cause irrational manifestations. Now we simply have something that gets blared on the news and everywhere else, and white people are using it to validate their irrational feelings. Also, feeling guilt is not virtuous, no matter how you FEEL about that.

You don’t need to react to the implausible with conjecture and call it truth.

Eh, how come the pioneers and explorers didnt get killed by Indian diseases? I think the whole "small pox blankets" is a cover cor them being pussies and being beaten people who was just on a boat for 4 months.

It's true and the history shows that the dieseases actually showed up before the Europeans ever showed up. Most likely Bird Flue

Disease wiped out 90% of the Indians a hundred years before the pioneers started pushing west. I remember reading excerpts from a settler's diary (Mary Ingalls-Wilder?) years ago about how astonished they were that there was so much land with so few natives. Also, the scumbags that push the White guilt narrative that small pox was given to the Indians intentionally via blankets forget to mention that Germ Theory had not yet been discovered when they all died.

Small pox blankets was fake news that turned into fake history. It literally never happened. Look it up the hoax blankets came from one letter. And the letter simply talked about refugee blankets given to the Natives (heh) there was no intentional germ warfare. Just like there is no proof that 6 million israelites where ordered to death in 6 crematoriums over 5 years in Poland.

Hey dude it's the responsibility for whites to feel guilty about everything, so I don't want to hear it.

Mega drought followed by grand solar minimum massively depopulated north America. All the urban centers had been abandoned a century before Europeans even showed up. Natives had been having a really shit 300 hundred years.
I think if Europeans hadn't shown up, Aztecs would have pressed northward and wrecked everyone anyway.

"But, but, but, the Europeans brought the diseases smallpox blankets!"
They did not have sanitation. They did not have any form of medicine or science. They did not have the fucking wheel.
What they had were turf wars for thousands of years before Europeans came over.
