    The Mayans would’ve eventually had control of all the America’s if the white devils never came.

    The fate of the people living in North America (whatever you wanna call them, and wherever you think they came from) was fucked. They were either going to be enslaved and sacrificed by Mayans, or conquered by white devils.

    You do realize the natives had no concept of the continent as a whole, right? Our current system of mapping the world is almost universally accepted and based on continents as the largest land masses. Natives did not invent this system, the first explorers did. Naturally they named shit after themselves. There is no other term that encompasses this large of an area (north America). What do you suggest we call it?

    As I've pointed out previously, prominent scientists now deride depictions of pre-state people as peaceful. "Contra leftist anthropologists who celebrate the noble savage," the Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker wrote in 2007, "quantitative body counts—such as the proportion of prehistoric skeletons with ax marks and embedded arrowheads or the proportion of men in a contemporary foraging tribe who die at the hands of other men—suggest that pre-state societies were far more violent than our own." According to Pinker, the 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes "got it right" when he called pre-state life a "war of all against all."

    How the hell do you know what they had a concept of?
    Yep. They were here before the invaders "settlers" came.

    Interesting logic in this thread, so it was okay that the germans killed jews because jews were once mean to other jews.

    Um because this part of the world hadn't been mapped on such a large scale, by natives or anyone else. Duh.

    'Native American' is a scientific term used to describe the first inhabitants of what is now north America. Obviously all the individual tribes and groups have their own names, nobody is taking that from them. Nobody is trying to rebrand them. Inspector gadget couldn't reach as far as you are right now.

    Fake news. Who cares what Steven Pinker wrote?

    "If six nations of ignorant savages should be capable of forming such a union, and yet it has subsisted for ages and appears indissolvable, and yet a like union should be impractical for 10 or a dozen English colonies.''

    - Benjamin Franklin

    They dig up bodies with clear evidence of death from violence (war) and you call it fake news.

    You don't believe in science? Scientific American writes fake news? Exactly what are you claiming here? :)

    Invaders came here before more invaders came. Sucks to suck.

    Listening to people bitch about white devils taking over America.... it’s like listening to a tweaker complain that someone just stole their stolen drugs.
