Is the Native American Struggle = or > than the African American Struggle?

[Still Benefited]

I'm aware of the discrepancies and if you average all the estimations they STILL place the number at least double your highest figure. And who said anything about muskets? Disease played an enormous role of course, but you are downplaying the human factor. Decisions made by Europeans that weren't arbitrary. Why don't you go read about Pizarro?



I'm referring to the population of Native Americans/American Indians (I'm gonna say both since some identify as the latter) living in both continents before European contact. If StillNotSoft was only referring to a portion of the population, they should clarify.

I've been the one sayin most of e died from disease the whole time in this thread....far as the numbers people who wanna downplay the losses the indian took downplay the numbers those who wanna make the loss bigger make it a higher number simple as that....how the hell u gon do a estimate of unchartered territory ? When a gang of indians had already died from diseases before the whites even started to expand? We don't have a clue how many indians it wuz..there's 50 million black people in the us or close to it....u really believe indians were anywhere near close to that? Even if half of us died wed still have numbers to beat the shyt out of the white people that wuz over here at the time the indians wuz beefin with whites

Don't use our ability to stave off disease and survive as a way to say we were treated better than the Native Americans who were exterminated.

Once Europeans realized that their survival was tied to us, that's the main reason why we didnt receive the same fate.

Native Americans are 1.2% in the US population and they were the originals.

Yeah, they're thriving cause they got their casinos

Not saying that their strugle was any more or less. But this isn't proof of anything. Plenty of different races of people have gone extinct, and it wasn't always because of genocide at the hands of another race.

Aztecs, Anasazi,Minoans, other ancient European civilizations, and on and on and on. All gone and it wasn't genocide that did it.

Breh, they couldn't pro-create because they were getting killed directly or indirectly by the new settlers.

If I'm a Native American, I'll be looking around like I'm the last of the Mohicans

No...those cultures are gone. The people are still alive.

That said, I wouldn't dream of comparing these struggles -- they are two distinct histories of ongoing oppression...

The same can be said about Native Americans.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Native Americans got their whole damn hemisphere jacked from them . I gotta roll w/the Natives on this one.

No....they were systematically exterminated.

That's much different than being absorbed into another group.
