Did Americans screw over the Indians?
Duh. The Indians had a very weak immigration policy.
Will we give them their land back?
Hell no. That’s a fantasy.

No. Americans did not screw over the Indians. It's not like the Indians owned the vast wilderness that was here when the Europeans arrived. There were sparsely populated little villages interspersed among vast amounts of wilderness.
Also, It's the Indians own damn fault that they were not as industrious or technologically advanced as the Europeans. That's just the way it goes.
We gave them far more land than they ever actually owned. WAY more land. You could have taken all the Indian villages across America in the 1600's and you wouldn't have filled a land area the size of Road Island.Will we give them their land back?

Even while we were screwing the Indians, in the middle of the Indian Wars, schoolteachers were teaching the myth of the Noble Savage.Skans » 07 Jul 2023, 12:42 pm » wrote: ↑ No. Americans did not screw over the Indians.

The truth was, he wasn’t noble, he really was a savage, and his culture was overwhelmed by ours.
But hey, if it peddles more ice cream to folks who love to read Longfellow, who cares?.

I have a hard time believing that they are high up enough on the evolutionary scale to invent or even use technology. Their ancestors saw the White Man and reacted the way we would if an advanced civilization came to Earth from a planet half way across the Galaxy.

They have intermarried with whites for five hundred years, to the point there may not be any full bloods.Skans » 07 Jul 2023, 12:57 pm » wrote: ↑ The place was basically inhabited by these people:

My wife and I visited Pine Ridge and saw all the monuments to The Battle of Wounded Knee there about twenty years ago. (26 cavalry died there)
She thought the government should help those poor people.
My opinion was finish the job screwing them.
Take a census
$100,000 each to move
A million more after they had moved a long ways off.
Then bulldoze it and plant grass.
It was the most utterly hopeless place I’ve ever seen.

The Indians have their land and have their Casinos. They have their women and their rape-culture too. It's best that they live on their land and we live on the rest.Bruce » 07 Jul 2023, 1:11 pm » wrote: ↑ They have intermarried with whites for five hundred years, to the point there may not be any full bloods.

How did the last twenty years go for them?
How will the next hundred years go?
At Pine Ridge you can smell the despair and hopelessness. There never will be anything except poverty, alcoholism, and hard living there.
End it.

That's a bit harsh. I don't think we need to go in there and gas them all.Bruce » 07 Jul 2023, 2:47 pm » wrote: ↑ Twenty years ago I was surprised at all the little Indian kids at Pine Ridge.

End the longest and most failed welfare program in our history, once and for all.

Cherokee, North Carolina is full of fat Indians that frequent the buffet lines at reservation casinos.

What many idiots, like you, fail to realize is that the Native American tribes were slaughtering each other left and right over land and resources long before the white man ever showed up.Bruce » 07 Jul 2023, 12:37 pm » wrote: ↑ Plus one more point.

"Celebrate who they are"? Do you read what you write? LolBruce » 07 Jul 2023, 1:54 am » wrote: ↑ I think what’s happening is certain huge corporate consumer products peddlers have crunched all the data, and use “woke ness” to market the majority of decent people who aren’t MAGA.
They have to be careful their customers aren’t buying their products at package stores and beer joints.
But this looks like a trend in marketing

Our friends at Kellogg are no strangers to showing up for the LGBTQ community. This year, they have come back bigger than ever for LGBTQ Pride Month with a new limited edition “Together With Pride” cereal that’s already hitting the shelves.
The new cereal features berry-flavored rainbow hearts dusted with edible glitter. On each box, supporters can learn about Kellogg’s long standing partnership with GLAAD and secure a tear-out ‘Together Band’ to proudly share and wear their pronouns. For cisgender people, sharing your pronouns has been widely touted as one of the easiest, yet impactful ways to show your support for the transgender and non-binary communities. This simple act helps to create safer and more welcoming environments for transgender and non-binary people to celebrate who they are.

But that article was praising Kellogg’s for pandering to the LGBT community.
About one in thirteen Americans today claim they are LGBT.
That is a huge market.
