No, but don't paint some picture of the natives as savages that deserved to have their land taken away just because of tribalism. Because the conquerers came from a place with far worse violence and inhumanity....and would in fact STILL be participating in bloody tribal wars into the mid 1900's, at a cost of tens of millions of lives. So who's the savage?

Bottom line is that I don't know why any of you find this incident in Brazil to be so offensive. Like you all say, land grabs have been going on since forever. So why is it so bad now?

Oh yea...because the people you favor are the ones getting removed.
