zeek, thanks for posting these quotes. I used to respect MLK, though I admit that I knew little about him.

MLK: Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society.

From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade.

MLK may have been a "doctor," but he apparently never studied a page of real history. History is filled with those who attempted to wipe out indigenous peoples. Start with Mexico and Canada, our closest neighbors, and keep going.
