Let's see how many of the self hating delusional whites wind up flying off cliffs in SUVs exercising their diversity quotas.

"My thoughts and ideals are so powerful, I can make an SUV fly!" They don't even need acid any more.

That is somewhat different. Signing a treaty with Indians and then breaking it when convenient somehow seems extremely wrong. In some cases, treaty was broken even after Indians helped in war against British.

Now let’s not argue and bicker over whose ancestors killed whose!

Oh man, that billboard is the perfect place to hang an "It's OK to be white" sign.

Nah, actually, spray paint it over the glass.

You mean the Indians didn't always live in peace with each other before the White Man came?

I thought the Triple Alliance Aztec Flower Wars were all about spreading love and joy to Tlaxcalans with a nice bouquet.

Yeah, but that doesn't have much to do with the myth of the peaceful Indians. Regardless of genes all tribes were brutal back then and only the successful conquerors got to write history. The white conquerors though eventually molded their society into one that is hyper-aware of its past and damage done to former majorities and now minorities and it is the society where minorities by far have the best life in, on par with the majority if not better. Imagine the Indians had won and somehow built a large, connected society in the US - do you sincerely think the white man would have the same rights, privileges and reparation benefits that modern Indians today in the US have? Surely not. We can't change brutalities of the past, but we can make today's society equal opportunity for everyone regardless of heritage or creed, and nobody perfected such a society better than the - predominantly white - western world. That's why SJWs are obsolete, and dangerous to a cohesive society.

I know my hair is getting white. ???

All of that is definitely true, but it is probably also true that Indians are the only minority who have a very justifiable grudge against US of A. There was a tribe who helped fight British (Oneida?), and had nevertheless their land taken away. I guess the difference in my mind is that US gov signs a treaty and then breaks it when it is convenient, which is not right.

I really can't stand this whole white privilege thing. I'm not denying that there are benefits to being white, but most of them are actually the benefits of being financially secure and living in a crime free neighbourhood. Trying to guilt white people with it is divisive and serves no particular benefit. And how exactly does one 'check their white privilege.' I've yet to hear a single practical way to do so.

It’s not a how. It’s a sound of envy toward those who achieved something.

White privilege, achievement, stupid pricks are just jealous.

American Indians routinely tortured members of other tribes to death, and of course any white people they could capture:

The 16-year-old girl’s once-beautiful face was grotesque.

She had been disfigured beyond all recognition in the 18 months she had been held captive by the Comanche Indians.

Now, she was being offered back to the Texan authorities by Indian chiefs as part of a peace negotiation.

To gasps of horror from the watching crowds, the Indians presented her at the Council House in the ranching town of San Antonio in 1840, the year Queen Victoria married Prince Albert.

‘Her head, arms and face were full of bruises and sores,’ wrote one witness, Mary Maverick. ‘And her nose was actually burnt off to the bone. Both nostrils were wide open and denuded of flesh.’

When she mentioned she thought there were 15 other white captives at the Indians’ camp, all of them being subjected to a similar fate, the Texan lawmakers and officials said they were detaining the Comanche chiefs while they rescued the others. ...

‘All the men were killed, and any men who were captured alive were tortured; the captive women were gang raped. Babies were invariably killed.’

‘One by one, the children and young women were pegged out naked beside the camp fire,’ according to a contemporary account. ‘They were skinned, sliced, and horribly mutilated, and finally burned alive by vengeful women determined to wring the last shriek and convulsion from their agonised bodies. Matilda Lockhart’s six-year-old sister was among these unfortunates who died screaming under the high plains moon.’

They were as imperialist and genocidal as the white settlers who eventually vanquished them.

When they first migrated to the great plains of the American South in the late 18th century from the Rocky Mountains, not only did they achieve dominance over the tribes there, they almost exterminated the Apaches, among the greatest horse warriors in the world.

The whole white privilege thing is not intended to help poor, lower socioeconomic blacks or others, as it is intended to protect and continue privileges enjoyed primarily by wealthy and upper socioeconomic blacks an others such as preferential admissions, hiring, promotion and access to scholarships. Affirmative Action has become a property right to these privileged few akin to the property privileges enjoyed by a limited British aristocracy.
Also I find it difficult to believe that Native Americans (do,not use pejoratives like Indians) were consistently honorable and true to their word and treaties.

About as many benefits of being white as being Asian. I wonder why.

Actually, being Asian may have more benefits - they are less likely to become fat and they age better.
