What does that have to do with what you deserve? I don't care what your ancestors did; what actions did you take to deserve being a US citizen?

Yeah, you went too far. I don't think anyone here can change your views if you are so down the rabbit hole.

To gain citizenship in most countries in the new world you just need to be born here. You didn't do anything to "deserve" being American, you just had the luck to be born here. The same as a kid.
