Redemption, ltr. 18

It wasn't until the 1960's that integration into public schools happened, so that us black people of America could get some form of education, where we have been held back to not be a striving nation of achievers for over 500 years in slavery, because of racial discrimination, which lead us to the indigenous people of Australia, that inhabited this island continent 60,000 years ago, until the Europeans wiped out all the black Aboriginals in Australia in 1700-1800, because mainly all blacks were expelled from this island, as the Europeans portrayed Aboriginals as "noble savages", as we were to follow the? policies to turn them into Christians, trying to enforce their European lifestyles on our people, because their? numbers fell dramatically, party through conflict with the Europeans, but mainly through European diseases, especially the smallpox epidemics in 1700-1800s, and maintaining that us black Aborigines were an inferior race incapable of self-management and destined to die out, where the system has displaced and removed the last survivors of the Aboriginals somewhere else, in some government reservations or Christian missions, where their condition somewhat changed and improved, they remain the most disadvantaged group in Australian society, and still fighting for their rights of the land... That brings us to not forget the Indian wars, that took place in 1622-1890, by the invasion and conquest that Europeans set out to remake America in the image of the Old Rome, only possible by persuasion and violent force, because the result was the destruction of the Indians population cultures, and economies, which the native population went from 90 million to a low of about 9 million, being faced with such a disaster their culture collapsed, and its place was taken by European Christian ways, in believing that God told them to clear the region of natives, by bringing warfare to remove. The remaining indigenous people of the land and to destroy their political structures, which the Indians quickly lost whatever the Europeans wanted, and from 1689-1763 Indian warfare was bound up with the great struggle between France and Britain for control of the continent, where "the Seminoles" of Florida, whose numbers included many escaped black slaves, that intermarried with Indians, that everyday fought against Europeans moving on their territory, until eventually surrendering in the 1840s, and moved to restorations in states all over America, and that's only the beginning of what blacks endured, where in Uruguay, South America. Us blacks have got the worst treatment, as semi-nomadic indigenous groups lives in this country, before the Spaniards ever thought about the slave trade, as they continued their massacre in wiping out us blacks in destroying our history...
