There is no true freedom where ever one racial or cultural group dominates another. Whether people are indigenous or immigrants, whether through force or majority of population, human subjugation is a world-wide problem from Australia to Eurasia, from Africa to the Americas. Its also an ancient problem. Ever since different segments of humankind shifted from the nomadic flexibility of hunting and gathering, to the more rigid sedentary lifestyle as agriculturalists and pastoralists, people have been forced to compete over the limited natural resources and territorial space necessary for freedom. The result has been, that one groups wealth and freedom comes at the expense of another groups poverty and bondage. At times resulting in the perpetual persecution and complete annihilation of sovereign peoples through secular and religious indoctrinations of blood-lust and genocide.
Throughout most of western civilization, the earliest confrontation of this problem has been rooted historically in the religious scriptures of the Hebrew Old Testament, as the moral example of Cain and Able.

Myself, Ive mostly taken Cain and Able as a generalized, prehistoric account of how humankind has always had to struggle to get along without bloodshed and genocide and still have enough natural resources and freedom for all.
During the axial age, 800 bce – 200 bce, the question was raised again throughout the establishment of early civilizations, by some of the greatest religious and philosophical founders and exponents that history as ever recorded, such as Socrates, Confucius and Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha). Beginning two thousand years ago, with the advent and spread of Christianity throughout western civilization, the question persisted. “Am I my brothers
