Perhaps they should legalize armed warfare between tribes and the enslavement of captives taken, including sexual conquest of captured women. That would be truly indigenous. They could even legalize making captives run the gauntlet. And white settlers could be slaughtered and have their homes burned to the ground. Legalize the slaughtering of whites and destruction of what they have built and have Seattle become a hunting ground again. That would fix things.

When they get sick, do they hit the sweat lodge with the old peace pipe, or do they go to the hospital for the “white man’s medicine?” Why?

Do they get food at a grocery store? Why?

If their tooth aches, do they knock it out with a rock? Why not?


They’re just playing the white liberals for the chumps they are.

He represents what many of our Native Americans believe when the genocide started,"

Gotta' be a dumbass to ignore the stupidity of Native Americans label, because I was born here in Cleveland as were my parents. If I'm not a Native American then I don't know who the hell is.

LOL! Funny how in all Latin American nations, Christopher Columbus is CELEBRATED! Almost every big city I’ve been in down there has a street named 12 de Octubre (October 12th).

Yet here, self-loathing liberals and low self-esteemed minorities will continue the “racism” drumbeat of an explorer that had nothing to do with what they claim he did (genocide).

Besides corn and Okra, just what did the so called indigenous people give us?

And, is this an acknowledgement that there is such thing as a collective identity of “Indian Tribes”?

Idiots

Without Chris, you don’t exist and enjoy modernity.

If those “indigenous” people had a bigger defense budget, they’d still be in charge.

Indigenous means “native.” It does not mean race. So, that means all of us who were born here are indigenous and native. Native means where you were born. Nothing racial about it.

V.A. or Victory in America Day works for me.

If Columbus had not landed in the Americas, it would have been discovered a few years later by the Portuguese.

Discovery was inevitable.

There was a war and the Europeans won. We defeated the Indians and took their land. This same thing has been happening since humanity arrived. Previously, the various Indian tribes had been warring against each other and taking land from each other. It's no different.

Finally, after listening to two years of whining from my 1/4 Indian ex-friend, I blew up and said essentially this to him. He was shocked, I tell you, brought up how white people are hated in Asia since the opium trade did in all those innocent yellow fellahs. NO, I said. If anyone's hated in Asia, it's the Japanese. And incidentally, the very dark Melanesian Fijians ASKED England to make them a protectorate during WW2. Fiji is the happiest country I've ever been to…at least it was when I was there. That shut him up.

"Friend" is basically at war with himself, the 3/4 that isn't Indian. He's a hard worker, but a devout libtard. After two years of friendship, I was very tired of him and so was the rest of my family. How much drivel can anyone listen to?

Looks like we need Tony Soprano’s crew to “assist” in this matter. How dare they disparage the guidos!

Is it already time for that annual whine fest? Years just go by quick these days.
