If you can't tell, there won't be much discussion going on.
Honestly, it's a facebook community for a one line joke. Don't get too worked up about it.
I've never been one much to buy into the whole white man guilt line of horseshit that all too many socio-political organizations thrive on. Supposedly those groups' goal is to ultimately transcend the "racial issue," but in practice, I find they prefer to exploit it in order to push an agenda. But I digress.
What my forefathers did to the natives wasn't nice, no matter how you cut it. There's little we can do to rationalize it these days, but it's one of those things that people need to come to terms with and move on because there's no way to remedy it.
Looking at today's situation with Mexico, I see them as what they are - economic refugees. They'll never be political refugees because we don't want to stir up that hornets nest, and we keep hoping that the Mexicans will clean their own crap up politically. I understand why they're coming. I care to a degree, but perceived popular opinion on the matter is going to kill us with kindness. No politician wants to say anything about it because they know they're going to get blasted. They might as well go out and club baby seals on youtube.
Will our generation ever put on our daddy pants and do something? I don't know.
