I always wanted to ask the Indians, what they think this country would look like if the white man hadn’t settled & built the greatest country on earth.
I think the Indians would have us still living in teepees & skinning buffaloes for clothes.
Theses people were literally living in teepees and living primitive lives.
Do they think that had the whiteman not come that they would have held onto this land of theirs? That no one else would have come and taken it from them?
Do they think that they would have developed this land and brought industry and prosperity to it?
What exactly were they going to do with “their land”?

Native Americans were still living in the stone age when Europeans arrived... they hadn't even invented the wheel yet.
Think about it

Yep. You are correct. They had horses and that was it.
They act like they were some developing people they was on the cusp of greatness.

Good question... especially considering the fact that not all tribes had a concept for land ownership "their land".
They'd be the same as other untouched tribes.. or, would have been conquered by someone else.
I read an irritating article on NPR about Columbus Day vs Indigenous Peoples Day.
Something just occurred to me... they say white people aren't a "culture" because of the variety of "heritage"... how the hell do Indigenous Peoples have a culture considering they also have a very diverse heritage?

The Inca were in the early bronze age. Most of North America was in the calcolothic. However, your point still stands.

First off:
We acknowledge that tigerdroppings.com and its Political Talk forum are on stolen Coast Salish land, specifically the ancestral land of the Duwamish, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot People. We recognize the stewardship of tigerdroppings.com’s OT by the Coast Salish people since time immemorial, the disruption of this work by colonization, and now endeavor to continue this work.
Secondly, yes.

You should read the book 1491, about pre-European America. Their societies were far more advanced than you might think. By the time Europeans arrived en-mass most of their communities had been decimated by disease, so it was like arriving in medieval Europe right after a more intense version of the Black Death.

Caste based discrimination and insular, nepotistic practices in hiring and management.
Indians pretty much commit bust outs like in The Sopranos to a business. One of them gets put into a decision making role in the company and its all over. The place then is "busted out" to serve as nothing more than a way to enrich Indians and friends/family of said Indians, specifically those in the same caste or village from India.
They purposely discriminate against non Indians in the hiring process. They only hire other Indians. If they do decide to interview a white, it will be a humiliation ritual only where they seek to belittle and embarrass the candidate without ever having any intention of moving the candidate forward. I've experienced this myself many times, sadly.
As far as non Indians who already work for the company, Indians are well known for stack ranking, a process where Indians band together and all give bad performance reviews to non Indians and automatic high ratings to Indians, and when it comes time for workforce reduction, the non Indians are let go because they have the worst ratings in the stack. This is what led to me being laid off at my last job, all the Indians stack ranked me low despite me winning employee of the quarter in the most recent quarter. 6 weeks after shaking the CEO's hand on stage for winning the award I was laid off.
I will never ever work for an Indian ever again. They are the worst managers to work for, period. Nothing you do is good enough and its as if their only role is to prove how superior they are to you.

They'd be dead or speaking Russian and the Russians wouldn't give a f#$k about their culture.

Kind of like Africa without England and France.

The white European is responsible for lifting more people out of abject poverty and thus increasing the life expectancy of the human race as a whole.
We need to celebrate us more

No they weren't.
They were more advanced than Africa, but that ain't saying much.Posted on 10/13/25 at 5:28 pm to SallysHuman

As another poster stated: they didn’t even have the wheel.

No they didn't. The horse was brought over by the Spanish. They were still walking everywhere.

What? They didn’t even have iron or use copper, knives were wooden, flint stone or bone.
They were very primitive

I’m American Indian AMA. My dad was a liberal jack arse who would rather drink whiskey on the rez and act pious about the “environment” than raise his children. I’m American! After he left us he complained for the rest of his life about govt this or that owes him. He had a great job and we could have had a great life. In the end, he was weak.
