        His favorite historical figure was Andrew Jackson. "Kill the Indian, Save the man" was his justification for ripping children from their homes and "reeducating" them. They were cruelly warehoused in what amounted to slave labor camps.

        It amazes me how white Americans feel SO American and yet often have only been in this country 2 or 3 generations. That's fine. But when they look at black Americans - whose families have been here 2 to 3 hundred years, they don't exactly embrace blacks as full or true Americans.

        If he wants a different opinion on how the continent was tamed, he should ask Native Americans. I'm sure they'd have some pretty interesting things to say.
