The NA get money for the fact that whitey drove them off their lands. They say how horrible whitey was for coming over, "taking their lands" and then kicking their ass.

Well let's look at what happened before whitey came over:
NA wandered around dragging their tents behind them, kicking eachothers asses. End of story.

Sure, don't get me wrong, lots of people died. But don't even act like the NA were some peaceful happy-go-lucky group of people that were all innocent and fun. They weren't. They slaughtered eachother. They raided eachothers tribes. They raped eachothers womens. They kidnapped eachothers young. They were not a friendly people en masse.

M'kay: this sounds like, "Well, if THEY can kill each other, then it's ok if WE (whitey) kill them too!!!" Say what?!?
