Nope. Sure, your people are into burying indigenous children in mass graves but their deaths probably weren’t typically a result of acts of violence.
i think we intentionally spread disease to the natives. we got them drunk and stole their land. wikipedia said it was genocide here, i forget who else.

theres all kinds of need for politics in sports and entertainment. some examples more closely related to sports would be NCAA players being compensated, 3rd world capitalist conditions for workers who make the shoes, etc.

So you're saying we were so sophisticated technologically in the 1700's-1800's that we could spread disease without killing the spreaders? That we were isolating microscopic viruses and taking those viruses to the natives? Seriously?

Once wokness starts cutting into the MLB bottom line, you will see political bull disappear.

It was unintentional spread of disease Ricky. The Europeans had no way of knowing that those diseases weren't in the Americas or the devastation it would bring. Just as they unwittingly brought syphilis back to Europe, which killed and crippled a lot of people.

You do realize modern germ theory wasn't in existence until hundreds of years later, right?

i forget i wouldnt be suprised if it was intentional.

corona couldve been intentional, probably wasnt, but considering america's response to it (or inability) why not use it as war?

What does that have to do with spreading disease to Native Americans? Angry, hateful people make these claims with no basis in fact and people like you gobble it up.

Apparently you think in 1760 or 1810 men in labs in Philadelphia were diligently concocting vials of bioweaponized disease to kill off natives. Are you really that stupid?
no no they can just recklessly spread it the way america spread corona for profit or part ignorance

I hate to agree with him but there’s some truth to what he’s saying. Small pox devastated the natives, europeans had been exposed for hundreds of years and have developed immunity. There are instances, and you can look it up, where white men gave blankets that had been tainted with smallpox to natives to devastating effect. Sad but true. But now they have casinos so it’s all good lol

The vast majority of natives who died from introduced disease did so in the early stages of white settlement from accidentally introduced diseases that they had no natural immunity to. That's well documented by early settlers who came into native villages to find everyone dead or gone. There was no concerted effort across the colonies to use bioweapons. If you look around you'll find only one historical account of that being done with smallpox laced blankets and no evidence that it worked.
