YouTube would not post my response to Joe Ryan's above video, so here it is here....
Friend, I disagree with you when you contrast the Spanish treatment of American Indians with that of Anglo America. All you need do is look at the typical illegal immigrant coming from Latin America. They are not Europeans! They are Indians with Spanish surnames and that's it. If the Spanish wiped out the Indians then ((as Custer famously asked)) 'where the hell are all these Indians coming from!?'
A typical Latin American has a lot of Indian blood. Most people with Indian blood who live in the US today have immigrated to us from Latin America (you know, the place where Columbus had them wiped out?)But wait, I thought you said Columbus wiped them out!
Here is another question: Why American Indians embrace Columbus's Catholicism if they hated him and the Spaniards so much? The same might be asked of Christian black America. Why did slaves embrace the religion of their white owners if the Southern master-slave relationship was so poisonous?
The fact is, there is this thing called the 'black legend' about Spain and Catholicism that England and the puritans cooked up way back in the 17th CTY. They were in competition with Spain in the new world, so they magnified Catholic (Spanish) misdeeds and downplayed their own evil treatment of the Indians. Please recall General Amherst giving small-pox blankets to Chief Pontiac in the 18th CTY and the acts of Sheridan and Custer and Nathaniel Lyon in the 19th. (Why were ALL America's butchers of the Indians also heroes of Mr. Lincoln's Union Army?) By the early 20th CTY, the US northern states had become ethnically-cleansed, white ethno-states and the Yankees liked it that way.
Yankee Abolitionists like Ralph W Emerson and Julian Sturdevant explicitly remarked that they first expected the North American Indians to go extinct and then the North American black men. They could only say that because they were already witnessing Anglo America's eradication of Indians.

Jesse began cooking for Hamlin's pharmacy when Eisenhower was President. He never really retired. Please say a decade of Hail Mary's for him.
Instead of hearing sermons about social distancing and wearing masks...it would be nice, your excellencies (bishops) and fathers (priests), to hear about reasons why so many of you descendants of the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas are worshiping the one true God! Those reasons being Columbus, the Spanish conquistadors and the missionaries.
What would have happened if the Americas would have been discovered by, say, the protestant British East India Company? Look what they did to China in the 19th Cty! They filled it with opium so they could have tea....and remember the part where the British had all the Chinese all become Anglicans? o yeah...that didn't happen. If the Chinese had become Christian, it might have been harder to fill the country with opium dens!
