In vino veritas, in vehiculum amor

worldlybelongings asked: Yes, but many other groups of people through-out the world have experienced the same or even worst. Look at the African Americans, don't you think they had it much worst. But yet they evolved they have moved on with life. Yes they'll still have that sadness of the past, but yet have moved forward. Just my opinion.

I believe they had a trial, but not nearly as bad as the native americans.  to give an example i will use my own history.  me, my sisters, my mother and my soon to be dead grandfather are the only living descendants of one of the Lakota tribes.  My family are the lucky ones; many were entirely wiped out.  the african peoples were enslaved.  we had genocide committed against us.  were the world fair my people would have free range of the plains and the bison would roam the wilds again.  instead we are subjugated on reservations and given substandard education, our language is dying, and our people are starving, and poisoned by American influence.  the african peoples have been able to put much of their pain behind them and move on.  the Souix nations have not that opportunity.  have no illusions in this world we are third class citizens.

It really upsets me how alot of people talk down about Caucasian people. Stereotyping them with typical sayings.

Yes, Hawaii was taken over by the white man, it is HISTORY. It happened through out the world - the white man took over the land and developed it. Bringing people opportunity. We can’t change the past, but yet embrace it and evolve!

“There is only ONE race on the planet, the HUMAN race.”

AMEN!

Many native peoples have never gotten back what was taken from them,  and many of us can never have absolution.  my people were slaughtered to the point of near extinction.  and now we have so few lands to teach out language, to repair our broken culture.  the Hawai’ian people are rightfully resentful.  as are many lakota; it should not be forgotten so quickly the shame’s placed upon our people.  the carving of our sacred hills so four presidents could have their immortal faces in stone. disgraceful.  while their is no biological premise for the concept of race on this planet, people have slaughtered millions for that false concept.  a peaceful peoples like our own were visited upon by great and terrible events that in the interest of human betterment should be kept close to the heart.

with senate bill 1867 passing and having only two possible barriers left in its way i am very concerned.  now if you read it thoroughly it is a scary piece of legislation for really only two sections.  but those are very scary indeed.  most troubling is the Partial Elimination of Posse Comitatus (look it up kids its sort of what keeps the US Army separate from the Police force) secondly scary is the rather extreme lack of provisions that prevent this ability to circumvent Posse Comitatus from being massively abused.  

I can safely say that i am for the first time in a very long time that i am Properly afraid of what tomorrow brings
