I Say Put Boots On The Ground!

Every see those burial mounds of the 'tall white' people who lived here before the Indians? Mass graves. Wonder who killed them?

Aren't the "tall whites" supposed to be aliens, that are still living in NM? I'm being totally serious here, not that I really believe in Aliens living among us, but I doubt were the only civilization in a universe, that we're just beginning to discover. Edited November 30, 2014 by slipstar059

Before we send more troops to die on foreign soil, we should get our own house in order, we've spent billions, on useless infrastructure in Afghanistan, but we can't find a way to help the Sioux, living on the pine ridge reservation, get running water, and basic medical services?

Do doubt! I was going to say that we are evening things out one slot pull at a time. Then I realized that they weren't the first ones here either. So maybe they are in squalor because of what they did to the tall white folks they said they got rid of? It's a viscous world... 

[phaquetoo]

I also have family members that are, and were soldiers, I support their decisions to try to better themselves, and protect their country, I don't support the decisions of their bosses to send them to a war that has no effect on our country, besides protecting the supply of oil.

 

We don't even get to see the financial benefits, when we pulled out of Iraq, the price of gas at the pump, didn't drop a cent. Why are we spending so much money on war, when we could be using tax dollars, to help the people at home? If you want to see waste, view the last vice video I posted.

who is we?  are you we or them?

Yes they're both offensive, but one leaves a message behind with it. When the scopes get dumped, and left behind, the bible verse gets left with it, then their fundamentalists have physical evidence that this is a holy war, when they're recruiting for their own personal agendas.

 

As for the deleted comment, if telling people with differing opinions to "get out" worked, my people would be living in a world of untouched splendor, instead of huddled together, living in squalor and suffering from alcoholism.

so it is our/your fault they are alcoholics?  who's fault is it that im an alcoholic?   Your people? who are your people?

In modern times, the reason that Whites falsely claim that they originated in Europe is likely embarrassment. They did not discover definitive evidence of their Asian origins until the early 1900s. (Even though the Archeological finds of the previous century should have given them a clue: all the ancient skeletons found in Europe were of Black people - To date, absolutely NO ancient White skeletons have ever been found in Europe - (pre 1,200 B.C.). Whereas skeletons of ancient Africans - Not Neanderthals, Not Cro-Magnons - but "Modern Man" Africans (Homo-sapiens) are found all over the place in Europe, Some from as early as 45,000 B.C. Bog Mummies have also been found in Europe, the oldest being about 10,000 years old; But the oldest White Bog mummies are only from the iron age.

We say embarrassment, because for the previous several centuries, Whites had been building a tale of White superiority and Black inferiority; and had even created the institution of Racism. How then were they to admit that just the opposite was true. Not only were they a people of humble beginnings, but derived from "Defective" Humans (Albinos)

I didn't get to pick either.  Luckily for me, I ended up being a white male.

 

I had a friend, years ago, who went to the University of Michigan and bitched about preferential treatment for blacks.  I asked him, "Would your life have been better if you were black?"

"From a genetic standpoint, certain ethnic groups have a gene mutation that causes adverse reactions to drinking large amounts of alcohol. Groups that possess this “protective gene” include Chinese and Japanese populations, causing them to feel rapid heartbeat, headache, nausea and extreme drowsiness. Other groups, including Native Americans, do not possess this gene mutation, consequently reducing the side effects of heavy drinking." It's the reason, I could drink like a champ, and never feel hungover. Most likely the same reason some people get alcohol poisoning, and others feel to sick to continue drinking. 1 in 10 Native American deaths, is alcohol related.

Nobody gets to pick, their ethnicity, we just choose wether or not we continue in the traditions, of our mothers and fathers.

"An 1868 treaty set aside the Black Hills and other land for the Sioux, but Congress passed a law nine years later seizing the land after the discovery of gold in western South Dakota."

They didn't need casinos, they had gold.

who is we? are you we or them?

We are the taxpayers, and United States, citizens.

All I know is what I seen happen in mt pleasent when the soaring eagle came in, first the reservation looked like a slum and im talking a realy bad slum, than the trailers started disapearing and new homes were built, they had jobs at the casino and every one in the tribe that lives on the reservation gets a check every month, free meals from the casino, free schooling! they can fish every where I cant fish!  how is it the indians are getting screwed, they have gold, better than gold and they dont have to get their hands dirty!

 

I was born here, my parents were born here, you keep calling others like muslim countrys your people, well where do you come from?  and this is not a question of religion, I dont care what religion you choose to follow or practice, I can see being pissed at our government, I beleive most of us are, especialy as of late!

 

maybe the isis movement is just doing what our gov is doing, telling other countrys how to live and be a democracy! for them they want every one to live the strictest sect of muslim, woman have no rights, you get hands chopped off for stealing, put to death for alcohol, what kind of life is that,,,hopefuly we dont find out, I dont want my grandkids to find out either, I beleive our worst enemy is US and big brother is gonna make us do things there way or build more jails, maybe executing people and maiming them is the cheap way to go, should we have that here?  after all we have the most prisons and prisoners in the world, and our gov is telling others how to live like us?

some Native Americans have is good now,  Others do not,    

[slipstar059]

I'm a Native American, Atheist, with no desire for a Muslim run country. That said I don't want any religion telling me how I should live, or what life decisions I should be making.

 

I don't get a monthly check regardless of where I live, but there is an elder fund of a few hundred a month, If I turn 63.

 

The right to hunt and fish (non-commercially) is a tribal issue, and hunting and fishing permits are handed out, through the tribe. My hunting/fishing season is extended, but still regulated through my tribe.

 

I'm a dual citizen of both my tribe and the U.S. Puerto Ricans are extended the same benefits.

 

To be fair I can take classes the rest of my life at any MI college, but it's not extended out of state. So far the benefits have amounted to very little for the Natives, (who have been on a rigged playing field since the beginning) and the settlers, got America.

 

Boots on the ground? Maybe if those boots belong to teachers.

Hang on there Phaq. There will NEVER be Sharia Law in our country. Don't  go saying crazy sheet like ISIS is right. THEY AREN'T.  I noticed the guy that was preaching all the good about Islam,isn't posting anymore. He went on and on about how good it is. Look up that Is MJ a Sin thread. Noticed he went away after YOU asked him what country was he from.

[jointedone]

Slip what tribe? When I was up in da UP where my brother lived,the tribes were mostly Ojibway.He lived in Ironwood,but my Mom and Dads families were both from Copper Harbor,then moved down to Hancock and Calumet.....then down to Detroit during the depression.

[slipstar059]

I'm not saying natives are infallible either, right now the Yakama in Washington state are trying to block provisioning centers, on ceded land, and a tribe out of NY have blocked sales or use of medical MJ. In Colorado, the natives living on the rez were allowed to vote for legalization but are prohibited, from implementing it.

On the subject of Casinos, I'd rather have a small pile of gold, than a million shares of Greektown Casino.

Yeah,I got a feeling those casinos in Detroit were built more for Kwami and his cronies. I also noticed that the UP casinos are just big polebarns with 20 senior citizen busses parked outside. Never wanted to gamble,I'd rather shop.

[trichcycler]

Spain used to think there would be no sharia law in their country. they may be wrong very soon.

Phaq it, we did not start their holy wars, they have been going on before any U.S history books, isnt the king james version of the biblewere drawn into that one by the japs! they bombed pearl harbor, we should have gotten in on the germany threat way before we did! we bombed japan twice to get them back inline and they are still inline! maybe we should have left them and china fighting each other.

You should really stop using the word "Peace" to end all your comments. War, seems to be more appropriate. Have you ever heard of a little debacle called the inquisition? Also I don't know if you know this but the word "jap" is racist. Edited December 4, 2014 by slipstar059
