Your strawmen-burning and turning this into a race issue only proves you wrong.

> the entire nation (USA) is built upon the bodies of the Natives who's land was stolen or coerced from them and then built by enslaved peoples stolen from Africa

The OP decided to bring race into this. And I know exactly were he is going with this. I'm just responding.

> The OP decided to bring race into this.

No, he didn't. You did.

Ok. I'll admit that I got a little ahead of myself with the response.

But how can you tell me that race does not stand behind the curtains of that quoted and emphasized statement?

America was predominantly white, 90% up to 1960. If you make a statement about it being built by stolen black slaves, while not giving any credit to the other people, it becomes a race thing.

>USA was 90% white even up to 1960

This is made up.

> This is made up.

Look it up youself.

The thirteen colonies were only a small part of what made up the United States. Anyone else was not counted in the Census which is basically 80% of the rest of what became the USA. And the many of the people in that 80% were wiped out by disease, warfare, etc...

Basically, the Americans conquered the whole country. Its like the French declaring anything west of the Mississipi theirs. What happened to the people living there? I bet they didn't say, yes France, you own us.

Your link says white people have been less than 90% of the US population since 1700.

1660 - 96% white

1700 - 89% white

1800 - 81% white

1870 - 87% white

1910 - 89% white

1960 - 89% white

You are technically correct, even slightly more if you distinguish between white and Hispanic. But I'm really not going to argue over a few percentage points with anyone.

What on earth are you talking about? I'm not ignoring any of it.
