If Native Americans keep complaining about the white man keeping them down so much, why don't they go back to where they came from?

This question has been asked about 5 times tonight by several people and it is constantly being turned around and asked a different way. Be more creative and ask "If there are things about this country that you feel need improving perhaps you should run for government office learn things about running a country and take all that you have learned and use it in a country of your ancestors descent". See nice and sweet and you'll confuse a lot of people. But when they read it 10 times it still boils down to "If you don't like it here go back to where you came from". You people are twisted.

And that would be....oh, right here now wouldn't it?
The 'Man' took all of the good land, with the good water, and all of the good hunting grounds. THEN the 'Man' tells them, oh, we'll be generous, here's a rock you guys can scratch a living off of. And then shoot them all down when the land has gold or silver and move them to a different rock. THEN the 'Man' tells them that they are their own sovereign nation. That's so the 'Man' doesn't have to spend any federal or state money to protect them from crime, house them, feed them, or even pay for their education. No fire department. No police department. No water or electricity or basic necessities.
So when they decide to dig for oil or build a casino they are NOW being visited by lawyers and congressmen and senators and big business wanting a part of the action. And when they don't get it, they start speaking with fork tongues again with laws to block and denied permits and being buried in litigation.
In short, Blondie, although I probably lost you at 'hello its their land to begin with', perhaps you could be a little more sympathetic for the people you owe your country to....or maybe go back to YOUR homeland...

Wow...This question needs some serious revision! Native Americans are Native to AMERICA! This IS where they came from! The "white man" has already piled them into reservations to live in poverty, taken their land to harvest on, killed the buffalo that clothed and fed them, and NOW you suggest they leave the country completely!?!
The nerve....

Perhaps you should check on the history of various Native American tribes as well as Canadian tribes, because as someone with Cherokee ancestry, I know what the American government did to them. Ever hear of the Trail of Tears? 4,000 out of 11,000 people died being forced to march off their homelands and so many died from smallpox, it almost wiped out the tribe. They did not have advanced immunodeficiency systems that allowed for resistance. Now that was accidental, but there is no excuse for systematic persecution. It is similar to what happened to the Irish under British rule, Jews in Russia and Armenians under Ottoman rule.

Um, your house probably sits on the ruins of their civilization. They basically have no homeland left because white settlers stole it from them. "Trail of Tears." Look it up and learn something for God's sake.

Because ... we're Native Americans ... which means we're NATIVE ... of AMERICA ... which means this IS our homeland ... it was the white people who left THEIR homeland to come torture, rape, kill, and isolate OUR people.
So if anybody's leavin, sweetie ... it's you.

Are you a troll? Natives were here first.

Maybe because this is their land and it was basically stolen from them. They were forced from their land and into slavery, their people were killed and they acquired deadly diseases from their occupiers that killed many of their people.. Why don't you get off the computer and actually read a book and maybe you won't ask dumb questions like this.

This question doesn't even dignify a response, so I'll just take my two points and be on my way.
