The British repeatedly gave blankets they new had smallpox. Todays evidence is that nothing happened, the virus was already dead. But it’s worth mentioning that from a Native American perspective this still happened, they received blankets and shortly after they had an epidemic. Whether they contracted it from the blankets or not is sort of besides they point, they intended to infect Native Americans with smallpox and local tribes ended up having a smallpox epidemic shortly after. Maybe they found another way, or maybe someone got infected by coming in contact with the British during one of the conflicts. But does it really matter? With or without blankets they still murdered millions (thought to be the largest genocide in human history) of native people on their own land simply because they wanted to steal all the land. They didn’t need smallpox to do that, they did it with guns, and forced starvation.
You’re welcome to Google or read my profile rather than just pretending like you know everything rather than contributing to false history and slowly changing your statements into ones I’ve already made lol.
It’s literally whitewashing the reality of native deaths. And you accuse of me of making a joke of it? My name is there for a reason.
Ohhh got it, just the end portion. Yeah that was more for… 1nk.
Disregarding that, what you said is untrue. As I told the other person, you are welcome to just Google or search my comment history. I reply regularly with the same thing when white folk get reminded of their white guilt then have to white knight my own race without realizing how blankets with smallpox was never a thing lol.
Blankets with smallpox is made up history mate. Go read.

I’m not the person who first responded, I accused you of nothing…
… You literally responded to my comment mate lol. Why would I not chat back?
Huh? You’re the one who replied to me lol.
I’m saying I’m not the one that accused you. You’re confusing me with the person who responded before me.
