I am just wondering at what point the pity party is going to stop or will this arguement continue from the native american people forever. I believe at some point you have to stand up and make your own breaks.
Try getting way with saying that about Afro-Americans or Jewish Americans! Tell them that they need to get over it and move on. As a matter of fact, neither of these races where put on reservations and givin a snow balls chance to survive.
a matter of fact jews sufferend only what 50 -60 years ago, african americans about 125-150 years ago, native americans about 200-250 years, im not saying it is alright to critisize native americans, but i am just showing you that jews suffering pretty recent, african americans suffering recent but kinda old, native americans are the oldest suffering out of the three mentioned yet native americans complain the most and want the most out of our government because of something that happened 200-250 years ago. im not saying it wasnt wrong of what the government did, but its been a while and i think its about time we start moving along now
200-250 years ago! "Jane you ignorant" Bro, you need to go look at your history books. Oh wait, none of the atrocities committed to NA's are in the history books. I'll give you an example: my grandma used to tell me that when she was growing up the local general store used to sell gallons of whiskey for pennies and jack up the price of milk and flour. This was the governments effort to keep the NA's drunk so they wouldn't cause trouble. I could go on and on but this happened less than a hundred years ago.
