This was posted today on AOL. How and why did this come about? If anyone has any information, please let me know.


"OKLAHOMA CITY (March 4) - The Cherokee Nation vote this weekend to revoke the citizenship of the descendants of people the Cherokee once owned as slaves was a blow to people who have relied on tribal benefits.
In Saturday's special election, more than 76 percent of voters decided to amend the Cherokee Nation's constitution to remove the estimated 2,800 freedmen descendants from the tribal rolls, according to results posted Sunday on the tribe's Web site."

I have seen how overweight and poor people are really looked down upon. Recently on some of these daytime programs, women (including Tyra Banks) have put on fat suits and walked around and people give such dis approving looks. Why??

I am a chinese student here in sydney, unfortunately, I couldn't follow the accent sometimes when local people speaks, I like western people, they are open-minded, friendly, warm, I'd like make friends with them, but communication is big problem to me, sometimes I cant understand their joke, and do not know how to respond, does anyone know how to get used to the accent? haha, and I have to claim that chinese are not blunt naturally, coz we always couldn't understand the western cultrue and language clearly

and vice versa ? What I mean is; Should it be illigal for men who are well off to be able to go to a poorer nation and steal another poorer mans chances at having a wife and a family ?
Should be illigal within each nation as well ? So that you don't have the scenario where one rich man or rich boy can just use his wealth to lure a woman into his trap.
What punishments do you think are appropriate when say a financially secure business man form America go's to Rio De Janeiro Brazil and scoops away another mans girl with his boasting of his busines sucess and the good life in America inorder to lure the woman away form the other poor guy ?

their main theme is still love and family feud or dada heroism!
they dont know to take about social theme or science?? or their audience dont change?
even if they take such movie , there is in background a love affair or violence!!
they accept jeans and dating culture from westerners but not good thing for them!

I am latin american. Our people own their farms in latin america. Do foreign companies have the right to explore for minerals or oil on our properties in latin america even if the own does not give permision?? They seem to pay the goverment money to allow them to explore. Even without permission from property owner.

Archeologists also dig on private property owned by indigenous peoples without permission.

Hey, I've noticed something about myself, when I look at models I KNOW they have gorgeous features but for some reason I am more attracted to people that look more average but are good looking. Anyone else feel this way? (Good example for girls: Brad Pitt (better looking average guy) compared to Channing Tatum (Obvious model material; doesnt look like an average dude).

This white gang is only 1 - 1/10 of a percent (0.01%) of the prison population but they are responsible for 20% of all prison murders, its basicly like 1 person in a group of 1000 commiting 2 out of every 10 murders in prison, if thats not bad enough the murders they commit are the most ruthlessly violent crimes commited in prison.
Is this proof that whites are more violent than other ethnic groups?

When Columbus and his sailors came ashore Bahama Islands, carrying swords, the Arawaks came to greet them with food, water and gifts. And what Columbus did in return was take some of the Arawak Indians as captives or slaves and brought them and insisted that they guide him to the source of gold. When the Spaniards took prisoners, they hang them and burned them. Some of the Arawak Indians committed mass suicides to escape from the hell they were in to.

So why do we celebrate Columbus Day???

Well I'm filipino and I have always wondered, what does it feel like for white people to blink? You guys have flipping eyes, so can you feel it flip? Also is your nose always visible when you open your eyes because white noses are usually longer and taller?
