I was talking city, but of course I could be wrong!

My point is, my people have been hung and I don't like it either!!

But since I am a white man, I get no traction!!

I was told as an Irish child, there was a time when you couldn't wake up in the morning without finding a dead Irish hanging from a lightpole!!

Oh, I know what you mean - every "Race" has been the "victims" of some type of tyranny and/or atrocities at some point in their history. Most "races", however, usually seem to get over it eventually, except for those "races" which have a large number of Race Hustlers who, to be honest, would rather stand around and bitch and moan instead of actually doing something positive. My people were persecuted, hunted, ensalved, and such in the past. However, I also recognize that my people did the very same things to others at one time or another.

I'm proud to be an American Indian, but I'm even MORE proud to be an American. This is why I prefer the term "American Indian" over "Native American", because IMHO "American" should come first. Maybe when other "races" start feeling the same way, I might actually begin to give a s**t about them.
