"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original Americans [indigenous] 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 16th century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation [US} which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalted it. Our children are taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations." John F. Kennedy.  JAR2.com the real leak site.
