Sadly you are correct to a degree.
American history is spotted with black dots on the white background.
True the American Indian has suffered greatly; because, of immigrants of all walks of life coming to America and causing suffering to the Indian.
Sadly, one American Indian tribe sold land, that was another tribes, to those immigrants.
During WWII the American government put American Japanese in POW camps just because they were Japanese.
The American Government turned away boat loads of Jews seeking asylum during WWII before America got directly involved in the war; which in turn certainly sent them all to their deaths.
Today, Nazism, (they call themselves White Power), is more of an issue and a problem here in America than anywhere else in the world today.
But as janggut has said, these are black dots on a white background.
If all we ever did was look at those black dots we would never see the good that can be found in each other.
If more people would communicate with each other
maybe something would actually get resolved and accomplished.
Instead people prefer to hang on to their hate by not communicating.
I am not Catholic, but I believe the Pope's of today do a lot of good for people in general.
True no one is perfect, but then again, who is.
