      No, @nytdavidbrooks. When Europeans first settled this continent they had two big thoughts: genocide & enslavement.pic.twitter.com/RYCCxMHi9e

      David Brooks actually wrote that, starting in 1776, your country of origin didn't matter: you'd have equal opportunities. What??

      RE: David Brooks: Let me back up a bit; my mentions help me remember that we have flawed ideas about the way the Americas were settled.

      Brooks references "when Europeans first settled this continent." Objectively, "this continent" means North America. That includes Mexico.

          Stop thinking Pilgrims. The first Europeans who settled this continent were the Spaniards. They started their conquest of Mexico in 1519.

          If we want to suspend reality and say that "this continent" only means what is now the US, it was also Spaniards that settled here first.

          The Spanish first settled St. Augustine (Florida, yes, a Spanish language name) in 1565. Way before Jamestown. Way before Pilgrims.

          Spanish conquistadores ran up and down the whole East Coast: not just Florida, but Georgia, the Carolinas, and a lot more.

          "Jamestown was the first European settlement in 1607!" Umm, no. Spaniards were in Chesapeake Bay in 1570.

          I'm not defending the Spaniards, but I do want to point out that even popular history preferences a very Anglo brand of white supremacy.

          Remnants of Spanish forts are found all the way to Kansas. Coronado was exploring the Midwest in the 1500's.
