I just don't consider explorers to be refugees. They came here to conquer and plunder. It's a bit different. If that's your idea of a refugee, then it certainly doesn't make your case! lol

there were explorers, true. i said people came for many reasons ( 3 times now). There were also religious people who were persecuted in Britain.

I have already said i agree its not the most sharpest cartoon as it fails to make a very clear point. seems to cause much more confusion for some people.

I see it as providing food for thought that there were refugees coming to america in the beginning seeking refuge. America is founded on some of these ideals. If anything it was the explorers and business people who raped and pillaged.

-First and foremost the vast majority of "Native" Americans died of small pox because they had no immunity-

Quote:

When the Europeans arrived, carrying germs which thrived in dense, semi-urban populations, the indigenous people of the Americas were effectively doomed. They had never experienced smallpox, measles or flu before, and the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of Native Americans.

-Secondly the British stole the land. Later when America won its independence, we bought the land that the French owned from Napoleon so he could help fund his war in Europe and Asia. The white settlers then went into California and Nevada for the gold and silver rush. Then we went to war with Mexico over Texas and took the west and southwestern US. The question is, did America take land from the Native Americans? The answer is no. European nations run by kings and queens and parliament took lands from native Americans 400 years before the United States was conceived. Also Britain and the French conspired with the Indians to go to war with us.



Maybe you (and John Oliver) should focus your attention on the atrocities that your nation and people have committed before you start pointing the finger at anyone else.

There used to be a rule that comments weren't permitted on this tread, as this was for humor, not debate.
