"african american"

yeah, most of the indians i've known referred to themselves and indians. i can barely claim it myself, since for some reason probably having to do with being treated badly, my grandfather pretty much gave up most of his cherokee life. he's just american....and really good lookin'.

 

yeah that's what happens after being assimilated.... you are ashamed to speak up about who you really are... but then the old timers eventually just forget who they are altogether!


My husband's grandmother was bitching against the loud "Indian's" sharing her hospital room ... and she was full Cree and Saulteaux!


The people that live in Canada are now re-learning their culture.

 

well, the navajos are very strong in their traditions. they're a very large nation with huge numbers. you can't throw a rock in the four corners without hitting at least one. i think that even with the stress and strain and racial tensions in the region the majority of them are confortable enough with their identities not to feel insulted by the occaisional epithet of indian. hell, they use it themselves when dealing with a noob to the area like me. though they preferred dine (with the accent on e that i can't figure out how to type).

 

what the blacks should do is figure out what part of africa they came from and refer to themselves as congoese, chadians, namibians, nigerians, tutsi,...

 

As in "let's go observe the natives in their natural element"?

 

I think that makes sense.

 

great we found a solution

 

what about black aborigines from australia?

 

can they play any sports? racial parity was given a big boost in the us due to congoians, chadians, tutsis etc... excelling in athletics

 

i hear they're good jumpers.

 

evonne goolagong won wimbledon... we could also put the boomerang in the olympics

 

funny .... hehe
