What About American Indians?

Question

Look I don't want to say that all antis are facists and racists because I know that is unfair and untrue. But it seems to me that many of the things what you say about today's illegals in the US can be said right back at you by NDNs. How do you consider that?

p.s. BTW my redar is tuned for wanabes!

T funny your Black Elk Speaks way of talking...

Answer 1

I'm a Cali skin. I deal with Mexicans daily.

I'm here in the middle of it in Fresno California. Agricultural center of the GLOBE, we feed the WORLD here.

the Farmers NEED these Mexicans. They come to WORK. they do NOT come to CLAIM LAND by FORCE. and it was not "hundreds of years ago" it was merely 100 years ago. Do your homework.

This is a symbiotic relationship.
No Mexicans = no fields picked = no FOOD.

Now if some "Americans" want to pick those fields they would have no reasons to come, but then a head of lettuce would cost you $20.

It's a double edged sword. You like the low cost, but you don't want to have to look at them.

I have no problems with them, they come to WORK. And do things even I won't do.

and YES, I am an INDIAN.

as far as that wannabe chip, ya'll are mostly blue eyed anyhow.

Answer 2

Evidence is being uncovered as we speak that there may have been prior civilizations even before the Indians were ever here. If that's the case, than (provided they were still alive) the previous Asiatic peoples believed to be here before the Indians would be able to pull the "you are illegals" card on them.

Thing is, civilizations conquer other civilizations. It isn't racism, it's just a fact of life.

Answer 3

Most people dont say that theyre different, just that the times are different.

Manifest Destiny was a horrible idea, so were many others at the time. But standing aside while people blatantly ignore our laws and hurt our economy and the well being of our nation is not going to change any of that.

Answer 4

This is 2007. Not 1707. Those people are dead and long gone. This is the real world today.
I was not around 100's of years ago. My family and friends where not either.
Many of my ancestors where Native American Indians. AND I was born here.

Answer 5

Yes, its true. But you would have to ask. What about Mexicans living in America before Europeans came?

But these losers like to say that they control what goes today, not hundreds of years ago.....
that the manifest destiny.... whatever!

They have a sickening history that they can't be proud of.

Answer 6

you have a good point. if you read your history the first immigrants did some very bad things and people tend to forget that and start pointing fingers at now-a-day immigrants. the first immigrants took land, slaughtered natives and sent the surviving ones away. i think most people on here want to forget this and pretend like it never happened.

Answer 7

Do you have any evidence that THEY want illegal immigrants? I can see where they might want less of US, but not where illegal immigrants have any right to raise that argument on their behalf.

However, we got the land as the indians got theirs, as Spain then Mexico got theirs and then WE built the infrastructure and funded the programs that made what is north of the Rio Grande different from what is south of the Rio Grande. I don't see Native Americans trying to flee the border in the other direction, at all, do you?

Answer 8

We can only control what goes on TODAY, not hundreds of years ago, and back then America wasn't a sovereign nation with a government and federal laws. It wasn't against the law when people migrated here hundreds of years ago, even if they fought with the Indians.

Answer 9

I guess this is a valid question. I think I would want to live with the Native Americans and I am not a want to be. I just don't think they would let me into their nation.

Answer 10

I think we are all a blend of past,present,and future-a mess from day 1, a mess now,and still a mess in the future.
