He's incorrect.

The greatest failure of this country was its treatment of its Native American people.

Slavery is several paces back.

I agree with the ruling...but I'm very curious as to what makes the list between treatment of natives and slavery

I don't know if they can be ranked, but it sure seems that Native Americans are the forgotten segment in our society.

While not politically correct to say so, they were vanquished in order for this country to exist. Injustice did occur to the Cherokees and like tribes... others, especially the Comanches, simply reaped what they sowed.

We went to war vs the native Americans and won. Some good battles for the right reasons but mostly a tidal wave of expansion with too little thought for doing right in the long term.

Slavery? We bought people and used and abused them for nothing more than economic profit.

So I profoundly disagree with you on this.

I disagree. We let them live. That counts for something.

Many do not know that "Native Americans" had many slaves..

..besides also being rampant murderers

The tear in the Indians eye in the 70s ads was propagandist. They were treacherous.

I used to believe it but began waking when learning that Asians were not all noble and intelligent

Conquering invaders have no obligation to care for, protect or comfort those that are being conquered.

There is no such thing as a native American.

The very idea that the United States owed anything to the people who happened to be here when Europeans arrived is ridiculous. Much of the death and destruction of them was done by other countries, or people representing no country.

Both conquering lands/people and slavery were common practices back then.

Perhaps we should have avoided the Americas and let the indigenous remain as they were until maybe the Chinese or the Japanese show up. I'm sure they would have treated them a lot different.
