Do Native Americans Have Life Easier

[Slated]

Is it easy being an alcoholic compulsive gambler?

poor quality joke. lots of native americans are poor

 

[Slated]

Is that by choice?

They can go to college free.

The ones in my state are given money every month

Here, they can also get lower interest rates on homes

 

[BO-DEN]

heh , there land, culture and there way of life has been torn from them.

isnt that why we are fighting terrorism now "TO PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE!"

they have been put on little crap land and they run casinos and sell cigeretts(sp)?

there way of life is gone.

i dont think if they had to choose

a- small pox haulacost, loose way of life, be introduced to liquor.
and you get to run a casino and sell smokes.

b- heh, ummm stay native americans

its not as easy to get out of poverty as the government has led you to believe

Here they have every chance to live very well. They are paid to go to school, given jobs without being qualified, given money, and the list goes on, and on.

Here, the most discriminated ppl, are white. Especially if you are male. Hell they even just built their own wing at the university. I'd like to see them treated like everyone else. I'm tired of paying for the free ride many of them take.

yeah you know what its the natural order of things. EVERYONE HERE has had their ancestors pushed around.
If your indian the Iranians pushed the native dravidians out and the new mixed population of Iranians and Dravidians is what we now know as india
The current population of japan pushed all the natives out tthrough a slow process much like what was done with the natives of north america.
The natives of england were pushed out by people of german ancestory

Just because its more recent dosent make it anymore right or wrong. EVERYONE here has had their ancestors pushed from
their home.

If migration wasnt the case with all humans we would still be living in the source of our origin (wherever you believe that is)

and Just as I dont believe the third world countries should have to pay off debt created by their ancestors, i dont believe anyone else on the planet should either. Your life is not that of those who came before you and it should not be influenced positively or negatively by events that were out of your control.

Ie: no tax exemption, no free school, no affermative actions. FOR ANYONE. EVERYONE should be treated equal, and when these people stop seeing themselves as victims of a power greater than them. Theyll be able to realize their own potential.
