Nope... The indigenous people had their land stolen and were murdered similar to the objectives of the Wilmington Massacre. I understand things like this are not taught in every school but the atrocities committed on American soil compare to those of any terrorist organization.
I learned these things at an early age and always hope that we will do better as a country. The spirit of those massacres and many other injustices lives on in different forms and gets passed to new generations.
Who stole the land of the indigenous people and murdered them? Probably some very well known names on that list. Are the names of those thieves and murderers being resurrected and dealt with today?
The poor victims of the Wilmington insurrection of 1898 (now referred to by some as the Wilmington Massacre) were not indigenous people. They were emigrants. It is a reach to say that the "objectives" of both historical events were the same. It is true that both events were stains on our country's history.
How much longer do Americans want to keep digging up past sins when there are so many current problems to solve?
It sends the message that some folks just can't find enough to bitch about currently so they reach back as far as they can to try to find a new cause.
It's getting old.
