Reply #48: I suggest you read the history of the Plains Indians [View All]

[Sequoia]

You have no idea whatsoever what those people went through and are still going through. Raw deal? I tell you about a raw deal. You know that famous flag-rising photo from Iwo Jima, one of them was a Native American and after all the hoopla and photo ops back he went to the reservation and died in a damn ditch of muddy water because the f'ing federal government wouldn't lift a finger to help him. Most all the Native Americans were sent to reservations where the soil would not yield the food they needed to survive. And we have movie stars who think they're such good samaritans going to 3rd world countries helping them out when in our own back yard these people have been living in 3rd those conditions since the early 1900s. But what about the children!!! I'll tell you what about the children, they were taken from their homes and put in "schools" for years never being able to see their families and had their hair cut, were beaten for speaking their language, and died. There are no jobs for these people because no company wants to go there, so what do you expect?

Read the history and have some compassion for Christ's sake. (Rant over, head just exploded.)
