The Seminole Nation of Florida bought the Hard Rock Cafe business for $965 million. Meanwhile Native Americans are the most impoverished people in the U.S. I have both White and Native American ancestry, so I can ask this without racist overtones -- How can Native Americans continue to raise the issue of poverty when they are not helping themselves with all this money they apparently have stashed away?

Lynchings, Bombings, Shootings, Rapes, Humiliation, and torture are all the things that the klan have done in this country since they have been around.
i dont like to think on things like this too much because it angers me, but i just think that there have been many unsoved cases that have been carried out by clan members.
So should George Bush's Patriot Act apply to them too?

"Watch your step" is slang? I just realized that the other day when I was on a public bus, and the spanish translation was "proceed with caution" It is sad that America needs a spanish translation though

It seems like every week I meet new people, especially married men, who I would bet my last dollar are gay. Yet, they appear to be spending a great deal of time and energy attempting to convince everyone (including themselves) they are straight.

Isn't that called reverse desrimination? What about BET? If there was a WET (White Entertainment Television) TV channel, wouldn't minorities cry racism?

Just cut and paste the edited draft in your answer

Rabbit Proof Fence
1.The policy in Australia used government force to try and assimilate the indigenous people into white society. They considered the aboriginese inferior and must be brought into white society. While doing so, they believed they were doing the aboriginese people a favor. This is similar to the policies the whites had for the Native Americans. In the reservation policy, they believed they were doing the Native Americans a favor by trying to turn the Native Americans industrious and frugal through a couse of industrial instruction.

2.The Australian government assimilated the Aboriginese children in the government camps in numerous ways. One such way was eliminating their language. At the government camps, they were only allowed to speak English. Also they converted them into Christians. Another method of assimilation in the camps was to train the children as workers. The girls were to be trained as cooks and domestic servants. This was very similar to the way whites attempted to assimilate American Indians. They were trained to become industrial workers.

3. Moodoo is an aboriginese tracker and himself is an aboriginy. His job to capture the girls in the camps who try to escape. It is hard to tell from the movie "Rabbit Proof Fence" how Moodoo feels about the girls' escape. But I believe he might feel some sympathy for the girl since he is also an aboriginy and his daughter is in the circumstance . I don't think Moodoo cared whether or not the girl escaped. From the movie, it looked like he was really trying to catch the girls.

4.I don't think the camps were in the best interest of the aboriginy people. There were little to no freedom in the camps. Instead the camps were a deliberate systematic genocide. In the movie, a man stated that by successively breeding aboriginal people with whites, aboriginese characteristics will die out. He even presented a chart of this happening.

If a woman hits an adult it is considered wrong to hit her back and shady to even restrain her physically. This is consistent with the treatment of children.

For criminal actions women are most often not wholly responsible for their actions. Even in cases where they are found to be somewhat responsible the sentences softened from the typical adult sentence. Again, consistent with children.

Women insist on being permitted to work in heavy labour environments, military combat posts, etc. Yet they always insist on substantially lower standards, afterall we wouldn't expect a woman to do the same job as an adult... that'd be sexist.

Women are pure-clean, generally good, innocent, and if a wrongful act is committed - a victim. Again consistent with children.

The list could go on, but the point is made. Why are women treated like children?

...Asians are not Yellows and Indians are not Reds and Hispanics are not Browns etc. Why are Blacks and Whites the only people defined by color?
