Reply to comment by Oscarboy3333 in Canada House of Commons unanimously agrees to describe residential schools as genocide by shpydar

The Natives were killing each other before Europeans got here. The natives helped Europeans attack neighboring tribes as well.

African tribes attacked and sold their neighbors into slavery.

Don't forget about these things when talking about the treatment of Natives and Africans.

So, since Americans kill each other off every single year, I guess it's okay if a foreign power comes along, commits egregious acts of genocide in the country, and then never takes responsibility for it or provides reparations?

-> end result of your logic, right there
