This point should remind us that the land and labor which built the United States depended on the systemic genocide of natives and blacks.

More recently genocide is what the US army’s “School of the Americas“ Which now has a new name like “ hemispheric Center for Security cooperation “ or something like that — spent years teaching to sadistic militaries from central and South America.
