Blame the Frontiersmen / Cowboy Myth -- perpetuated by the media, fortune hunters, immigrants, gun salesmen and robber barons, of course. Same as it ever was.
I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
Exactly my point OC lumber. No state is as white as Vermont or as fucking warped as Oregon. Quit projecting your shit on the rest of us. Feel guilty about your own ass backwards states.
And while we're talking history, let's not forget the indigenous people (who were themselves displaced immigrants) practiced plenty of genocide and slavery themselves. "Indians" were not some monolithic gentile, compassionate culture... remember the Mayans and Aztecs -- not nice guys to "outsiders"
Where is this mythical country where humans share and care all the time? And what color is their skin tone?

Not if you know history...
Oregon was America’s first and only state to begin as 'whites-only'
Oregon’s original constitution banned black people from the state, and the law stayed in the constitution for well over 100 years
