Merriam-Webster defines native as having been born and raised in a place so those who are called native Americans are in fact native Americans but so are all of us who were born and raised in the USA. Therefore the use of the term native-American is merely a propaganda tool.
Native is not the same as aborigine, the Cherokee, for instance may be called aboriginal Americans, a term which would not apply to someone of European descent, no matter how many generations their ancestors may have lived in America. The same liberals who use the term native American would possibly find some reason to say that using the term aboriginal is offensive, at least I would not be surprised if they did so.
I dont feel young lol.
My 82 year old mother feels younger than me. and i’m 47!! dont rush me!! :)
you know, i worked with some guys from the south and midwest in Manhattan and they dont get the ethnic breakdown among whites on the east coast.
They say it’s mostly black and white everywhere else.
Here it’s Italian, Irish, Polish, Jewish, and now Russian and Albanian.
And it seems a lot of folk on this board have generations of kin born in America.
My pop was born in Italy. Mom’s family goes back two generations, I think.
Guys in the office would talk about family going back to the 1700s!!!!
THe thing that burns me about so called food appropriation is that it hurts only the ethnicities that are trying to make a living by serving the good food they know and Americans love.
Chinese invented Gunpowder but it took Euros to make it a way of life.
Yet, after 75 years of Soviet domination, the cultures of Eastern Europe sprang back up just fine. That’s the only thing that gives me any hope.
I think I’ll read up on the discovery and how it came about.
I dont even know who the first to have a gun was. Should be fascinating.
Satan and his minions are loose on the earth.
I always thought that aborigines were weird little head hunters with bones through their noses.
Deffo the Chinese. However, I was just thinking that Navigation was what REALLY allowed the Euro cultures to dominate (not rule) the world.
Not quite true. Native American is defined by the feds as anyone who was here before 1492. That makes the Vikings who were here a thousand years ago NA.
Dont let Northern Europe know. They’ll apply for benefits.
I believe that was said sarcastically....since after all if you are born here you are indeed a native American
And for the record not all ‘Native American” tribes are of Asian ancestors.....
“I always thought that aborigines were weird little head hunters with bones through their noses.”
Some have been but some have been university graduates also.

Diversity = division
Unity = strength
The left has done everything they can to disrupt and destroy any unity we once had as a nation.
They have had help from many considered on the right when it comes to the non-enforcement of our laws and borders, this author included.
The melting pot only melted Europeans. The blacks are not immigrants. The Mexicans are not here to assimilate.
First the 'Statue of Liberty' was a gift. The inscription on the pedestal was a POEM. It was NOT the Constitution... It was an effing POEM.
Liberals need to dump the drama queen bit and talk about the issues...
It's NOT 'do we follow in lock step behind a poem written to raise money (... Your huddled masses yearning to be free etc).
It's 'can we afford this and if we can should we really bring in men who don't want to fight for their country (Syria) so we can send America's sons and daughters to fight for THEIR country. In short do we want to support them living here so our people can die over there in their place?
I think our folks came over how ever they could get here;
then had to get busy making hay while the sun was shining.
Then, along came Mr. Lincoln’s war. Folks like my great
great grandfather fought at Shiloh because they were being
invaded. Heck; he WAS practically a slave. Most of us
didn’t actually *have* any slaves. We had lots of kids,
mainly because they made good, cheap farm hands. Daddy
went off to fight in WWII; so Civil War was well past in
his rearview mirror. - One set of sixth great grandparents
had a few slaves down in Georgia territory. Her son
married a Cherokee; the mother about died of the vapors
over that; the father gave the son his inheritance so
the couple could float upriver on the Tennessee River to
Perryville. That’s how we got to Tennessee. All blood’s red
to me.
WOW!!!
Italy had no jobs so my grandfather dragged the kids here 90 odd years ago.
What a boring story compared to yours!!
I’ve read 5 percent of southerners had slaves.
You’d have thought it was 110 percent if you went by media accounts.
yes, I know thank you
