Native Americans

Yeah, it's SICK what "we" did to the Africans...

it really is BUT i hear about that almost every day but very rarely do i hear about what happened to the natives in this country.

YET, statistically, they are doing SOOO bad. they have the highest rate of suicide in any so called "race" in this country. they have the highest rate of alcoholism. gambling, depression...

yet no one cares. and by no one, i dont mean no one.

but what "we" did to them is just as bad IF NOT worse then what happened to the africans.

 

yes they were done wrong, but hell they are living pretty good...... well at least here in this state. they have casinos and cheap gas. hell I gave my share back to the indians in gas alone.

 

oh you gotta be kidding me. they are doing well? and im not talking about the few hundred you "know".

 

The native americans were in the stone age when we came over...

they needed to be assimalated into the modern world.

And thats what happened, they became assimalated into what are now hispanic people.

And hispanic people are doing pretty well for themselves.

 

What do you mean by 'we'? I don't know about you, but I've never done anything to them.

 

so, their land was taken away........

they are making pretty good money off the white folk today. you should see how many white people go to the casinos. all of that is going to the indians.

 

yeah but half of there tribes are dead. Call them the vanishing people.. i was just talking about this earlier with pheniox...

i think people need to take a look at who was screwed over first by the "whiteys" in this country and that was native americans and in the southern part mexicins. We can blame all this crap on American Whites but lets get real we learned from the top dog England(who controlled all the world in colonies and slavery before we did)

 

exactly. all Im doing is making them thrive by buying their gas..... and everyone else is pouring money into their casinos. I never once touched an indian, or took his land away from him.

 

and that is important to note becuz..............?

 

and here we go again with hating whites. yeah it was terrible what they did back in the day, but why be so harsh on us, we didnt do anything. so now people are condemning me because I am white?? did I scalp any indians?? no. did I persecute any blacks?? no. all that happened was I was brought into this world in former indian land, so now Im a bad person because Im white?

 

what? maybe that was supposed to be a joke but latinos and native americans are way different?

and um, assimilation is never gone. it's take away from culture, lessons and.... sustanability.

 

geez madcrappie im white too, and native american, and italian... im just saying what the topic was about in general is theres always this crap brought up about blacks and how they were treated like crap when they got brought here, and what im saying is if we want to complain lets look at who we first screwed over whos land was taken over, who got diseases from our nasty ass'es.

Im going on the topic. the topic was we never talk about how the native americans were fucked over by the whites

 

haha, yeah, it was in quotations for a reason.

 

Well thats from whence the ethnicity was born, a merger between natives and europeans.

Europeans didn't kill of the natives... disease did.

What happened was eugenics...

it was destined to happen.

 

get fucking real. how many of them did the white, stealing murders kill?

didnt "we" spread disease to them whilst saying it was a peace offering?

didnt they actually teach us how to grow crops first?

didnt "we" fuck then over? destroy their SUSTAINABLE, peaceful, in touch with the earth, way of life?

how fucking idiotic to say we just took their land.

and im sorry.... but the majority of what is left (which isnt many)- ARENT making a lot of money of of casinos.

 

I don't mean to sound cruel or anything, but the natives were isolated from the rest of the world for so long, they missed out on the changes that were happening in the rest of the world.

It kinda had to happen.

 

my point wasnt that we did it.. we meaning you and me. quotations mean something. duh. but that people are ALWAYS talking about what "we" did to africans.. but never about the natives. they were both bad. i just wanted to remind people cause they seem to have forgotten.

and damn... you seem to be obsessed with the gas and casinos. get over it. dont go to casinos if you dont wanna pay them.

dont drive a car if you're gonna bitch. it's bad anyways.

 

wow. the first intelligent person in this thread that understood my post.

*faints in shock*

 

biologically.. yes.

i hear ya.

however, that doesnt mean we shouldnt remember that and maybe do something for them.

and no, a month or reservations (what a joke- talk about depression)- are enough.

 

what i want to know is why they are called native americans.

What makes them natives of america when they immigrated there?

And the native americans arent the only ones making a killing off of casinos. Does anyone actually think that the Indians were able to pull billions of dollars out of their ass and just build the largest casinos in the world? Obviously rich whites/asians invested heavily into the casinos and are making the real killing.
