Let's Not Forget That We Pretty Much Exterminated the Native American Indian

My feeling is that the current political phenomenon in America--the tea parties, Glenn Beck, anti-immigration, guns, etc. can be pretty much boiled down to angry white folks sticking out their chest, pissed off about their diminishing influence in the country...

After all, we've got a Muslim black guy from Kenya sitting in the Oval Office, don't we?

And all those God damned Mexicans coming over MY border illegally, raping white women, taking MY jobs...

People: how about a little historical perspective??
