According to Libs the Humans in Norte and South America didn’t evolve here .. they evolved in Africa, and them went of the bering land bridge during the last ice age... so they are in fact INVADERS of pristine NATURE!!!!!

“Native Americans” the first Colonizers that Raped the Earth of the pristine nature of the Americas....

How many animals and plants went extinct because of the so called “Native Americans” colonizing the Americas?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Typical commie lib potheads. They preach to us day in and day out that immigrants built America and then celebrate the people who didn’t. That’s some weird thinking right there.

I escaped from Seattle 30 years ago. They’ve got more nutbags than Planters.

Being in a place first and getting your ass kicked later is very old news on this planet.

Black History Month grew out of "Negro History Week." A week in February was selected because of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, and that week was the same length as every other week in the year other than the first (if January 1st is not a Sunday) and the last (if December 31st is not a Saturday).

If they are upset that February has only 28 days, they should complain to the man responsible, the emperor Augustus, who had a day taken from February so that August would be as long as July. Of course he was a white male but a very farseeing one to plot to make Black History Month the shortest month.

The first peoples on the North American continent are thougth to have come over the Bearing Strait from Asia. That would mean that the people who were in North America when Europeans arrived had driven South the people who were living in South America. By the logic of “indigeneous peoples day” the indians living in NA have no more legitimacy than the Europeans.

All four of my Jewish grandparents arrived here at the turn of the 19th/20th century from Russia and Eastern Europe.

But I was born here and have lived here my whole life.

So I think “Indigenous Peopls’s Day” is a great idea.

There should be a day on which we Indigenous Americans celebrate our native American culture and heritage - from Baseball to jazz to all the inventions and prosperity that our culture has created and bestowed on the rest of the world — as a counter offensive to all the unjustified attention and special privileges bestowed on the illegal aliens who have invaded us over the past several decades.

So here’s to “Indigenous People’s Day.” I hope it catches on nationwide next year, as a way of reclaiming our true American heritage.

I’ll start the celebration with a nice cold bottle of Sam Adams. How will you celebrate?

[Maceman]

I should add that display of the Mexican flag ought to be outlawed on Indigenous people’s day, just as the display of the American flag has been outlawed on Sink O’DeMaio.

Allow me to be offensive to indigenous peoples.

The mis-named "nobel savages" on the North American continent regularly engaged in torture, ritual murder, infanticide, war and, occasionally, cannibalism. These savages never had the brains to invent the wheel! They routinely used up all local resources and crapped all over the place until their camps had to be abandoned. They would pack their teepees and move away to a new place they could destroy. Sort of sounds like modern Californians.

Here's a nice report about some of their proclivities: How Comanches butchered babies and roasted their enemies

I’m celebrating by going to a pipe club meeting in Baltimore, smoking a bowl of aged Virginia tobacco (a gift to Europeans from indigenous people) and giving a presentation about my calabash pipe collection to the other members. (the calabash is a gift to the rest of the world from Southern Africa.)

[Reddy]

Exactly. When people bring up the “native American” title, I always say that anyone born here is a native American, (according to the Supreme Court your mother just has to have one foot in this country during delivery lol).

[Daveinyork]

You forgot to mention that the indigenous people also enslaved other indigenous people.

[MrB]

They’re just getting more and more blatant, aren’t they?

Anything that is seen as a virtue, a good, or something worthy of praise is derided by leftists. They’re getting more and more open about it.

[dead]

The native Americans were beheading and enslaving each other in inter-tribal warfare for millennia.

They played one game out of their division and got slaughtered. Get over it. You can always ask for a rematch.

Juan Williams: "There was a country here before Columbus."

Apparently Juan has trouble distinguishing between a country and a continent. Of course, nobody ever said he got his job because he's smart.....

Can’t believe folks are supporting the indians who displaced and killed Kennewick Man.

When I was a kid we played “Cowboys and Indians”.

I guess that today the kids should play “Brokeback Mountain Cowboys and Indigenous People.”

I think that God should give this planet back to the Dinosaurs.

[Gator113]

That was quite a story....thanks for posting it.
