@juampy69 Except that imperialist Europeans killed over 100 million indigenous people. Indigenous tribes didn't all say cumbiyah together but they didn't kill millions of people.

I want to put up a Jeffrey Dahmer monument. Perhaps El Paso is interested? Regardless of whatever explanations of history, honoring any filthy Spanish conquistador is an offense to any native america. They were invading catholic bastards period, and the hispanic culture is still a macho ignorance-ssturated cult based on violence and overbreeding.

@uncleruckus714 I insist. Please tell me the figures of 15000 years of history in pre-Columbian people. Maybe more people were killed. Should we talk about aztec wars? Should we talk about Ahuitzol emperor in 1487? He killed 80000 mexicans in only 4 days. 14 deaths by minute for 96 hours. A level of killing more intense than Auschwitz. Dont replace knowledge with feelings. I understand your feelings but history is more complicated than that.

@juampy69 Imperialist Europeans wiped out 90-95 percent which adds up to 100 million indigenous people in less than 500 years.

@uncleruckus714 And, how can you calculate the number of americans indegenous killed by themselves since 15.000 years before Christ? Where are the books with the correct numbers? There is nothing to calculate that. Just a vain attempt to become feelings into science. Humanity is made of conquests; how can we change that? By means of hating any human being who existed before you? Is that the formula?

I am a direct decendent of Bartlome Romero a general in Juan Onates military. If Juan would have been a native he would have been a good warrior since he was spanish he was a terrorist. Where is the justice in the scalpings of that day that seems quite cruel and unusual to me.

More black legend lies. If you study the archives onate showed great restraint against Indian attacks including attempts to kill him.
