And how about not making stupid arguments like these when people are discussing the enslavement and genocide of native people.

What you are saying is literally a argument that was created by colonisers to justify their actions.

*to make their children more white

Nothing native people did to each other justifies raping their women to make them more white,mass killing them. Banning their languages while enslaving them and making them think that they are the bad guys. All while forcing them into a capitalist system that is still fucking humanity to this day.

It literally does not matter how much bad things native people did to each other pre contact. The consequences of colonialism are still present today. We are still suffering under a colonial system.

And the fact that they had the nerve to then tell the people they murdered, raped, tortured and enslaved that they were the savages for having a different religion/ ideas about identity and human existence is just the fucked up cherry on top.

I hate whenever people pretend like white Europeans saved native people from themselves because "they had wars with each other" It is very clear when you actually read the logs that white people always saw native people as lesser than them.

Columbus's own journals show that upon arriving at Hispaniola and BEING RESCUED by indigenous Americans, his first thought was "these people would make great servants."
This isn't a guy to celebrate.

The only time this becomes an actual problem is when it’s a true crime documentary or show about an actual person

Creator, writer, star, and now director, Jason Momoa concludes Chief of War's spectacular first season with a Game of Thrones–style battle episode that calls to mind Kurosawa. I am flabbergasted. Easily one of the best historical-fiction series I've ever watched, and an episode of the year contender

'Chief of War' Episode 9 recap: Battle cry

The Chief of War finale announces the arrival of Jason Momoa as a filmmaker worth watching — worth studying, even.

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.”
