Blacks versus Native Americans versus Mexicans versus Hawaiians

When we, the US, decided to cross the ocean and conquer new territory, we brought the blacks with us in chains like animals. Later we decided they were human and set them free, converting them to US citizens.

When we, the US, decided to take all the land away from the Native Americans, we rounded them all up and put them in special 'reservations' to keep them under control.

When we took the west away from the Mexicans, we decided they were all here 'illegally' now, so we round them up and ship them back to the Mexican Motherland.

When we, the US, decided to take Hawaii from the Hawaiians, we converted them all to US Citizens and told them to be grateful.


The blacks are still pissed.
The Native Americans had their spirit and wills utterly broken, so now we let them have casinos because we feel bad.
We're still rounding up Mexicans.
The Hawaiians that have denounced the US and STILL fight for Hawaiian sovereignty are allowed to hold protests in the park on the weekends, because we have nowhere to deport them to. We took everything they had.

And then there are others that we just throw in Guantanamo and forget about forever.


Interesting how we deal with people that don't meet the criteria of middle-class suburban white guy.
