Mankind is constantly evolving and while you're picking on the US man has been conquering other societies world wide throughout the ages. It's ALWAYS been a part of civilization.
How we proceed in the future determines how civilized we are.

Ok, so the blacks got a little good karma going their way now finally. What about the rest?
People love to use the phrase, "It's (insert current year here), aren't we past this kind of shit by now?" But apparently we are not. The Native Americans are still in the camps we designated them to live in. The Hawaiians are still protesting. We are still rounding up Mexicans.
We used to burn people alive for being 'witches' too. It was an accepted part of society. Doesn't mean it was right.
