Do you have any data showing that the average American has NO idea that Native American lands were taken?

Show me where I said it's OK. I just said that this is what happens. Welcome to reality - it's shitty.

Same here. Maybe you should read some history then and you'll find a mountain of skulls that laid the foundations of almost every single country.

I agree and I am. I'm tired of the "loser talk" where ignorant people believe that the US is the worst country or even a bad country. Those people need to visit other countries. We're not the greatest but we're not the worst by far.

Where was I dishonest?

> You can admit that the United States is a great country with a lot of horrible shit in our history (old history and recent past).

That's my entire point. I'm glad we agree. Not sure why there's an argument then.
