Why do you think so many people are so negative toward Native Americans as opposed to Africans or Latinos?

People have negative feelings towards things they don't understand.  A little eductaion may be all these 'people' need.  But than some people are just stuck in their old racist ways.

Thats an interesting question. I get aggravated by white people who are ignorant with claiming black people are any different than they are simply because their skin is a different color.\n\nAnd I get annoyed when the whole "we didn't make blacks slaves" arguement comes up too.   It's true I personally had nothing to do with slavery, and never would condone anything like it. Which is why when American jobs go to Mexico to be done in (Later reported) sweatshops I get upset that it is another form of abuse of those less fortunate than us to benefit American companies.\n\nI try to not let it effect me, and always put items in perspective of fairness, regardless of race. But when I hear a white person demean a black person in calling them a ni**er, I am the first to say, that's not right, and get offended, because whites have no reson, other than their altered upbringing, to believe there is a difference in people other than culture.

People who mistreat hispanics or hispanics who don't like whites are both racists. We should not have likes/dislikes towards other people because of their nationality/race. I know some people in USA mistreat hispanics because they think they are better than them, citizens of a richer country. It's just not right. Due to this mistreat, hispanics tend to dislike whites. I think this should stoop. After all, we are all humans.

Only in USA, i am not a racist but i do believe that african american people have no respect for othjer cultures and are extremely racist. This is accepted world wide because if any other culture spoke out against a person who is dark they would be branded as racist. It is the countrys fault for being afraid of cultures for giving too much tollerance to intollerance in fear of losing votes or being faced by a civil suit... rediculous.\nIt is ok to call other cultures names and have hatred towards them but not ok to use a word ni**er ( even yahoo blocked out the word ni*g*ger... here look ...nigger? Eh.. when will the world just wake the fu*k up.\nThere are too many one sided policies.

I'm sick of people defending the Mexican invasion by saying "are YOU a Native American?" \n\nThe natural progression/ regression/ aggression of the world is change of power and control. EXACTLY LIKE IN ROME, and in London (once Londinium) and the USSR, and in every other part of the world.\n\nThe Native Americans were not a strong enough, unified force. They could not stop Europeans from taking over their lands. So it was forfeited. That is what happens in the world, that's what has happened ALL throughout history.\n\nNow, the Mexican invasion will more than likely change power and control of this country. Except for this time, we are not weak and ununified. We are just afraid of stepping on toes, and being called inhumane, or racist. We have the ability to fix this problem (we have for many years) but we CHOOSE not to. We'll probably be the first country EVER whose government allowed themselves to be taken over by another country without putting up a fight.

A lot not counting foreigners born here. but if u really think about it all of us except the native americans are non-americans. i will ask that americans learn info on any subject before they start pronouncing judgements. don't let others think for u, think for yourself.

As a proud Black American (yes I said BLACK American NOT AFRICAN American).....We are not Africans. We are Americans and even the Africans will tell you that.  For millions of us our blood is way too diluted to consider ourselves to be solely African. To answer your question, I could really care less about what blacks in other countries and other cultures think of and say about us.  We have been through hell and back for the past 500 years. Our People (the generational Black Americans) have struggled and thrived in the United States for Hundreds of years.  Over the years race mixing has occured between our African Ancestors and Europeans and our African Ancestors and Native Americans.  Most Authentic Black Americans are of diluted blood and aren't pure African at all.  Our features, culture and heritage has evolved into something different than that of our African Ancestors to make us who we are as an ethnic group today.  We have our own rich history, culture, and heritage.  Many of us Black Americans don't even realize how rich our heritage is.  We don't need the approval of Africans or Carribeans or any other blacks to feel good about ourselves and confident in who we are.  We may have our problems, but what ethnic group doesn't?

Black people feel that because their ancestors were the victims of slavery & oppression, they have the right to complain about what white people do. I feel sorry for the whites today that have to constantly watch what they say around us. It causes white people to act more hostile towards blacks. I think black people need to have a sense of humor & stop gettting offended when whites open their mouth to say something...life is just too short to harbor any resentments.

Do you think that there's more or less dislike or distain for white women in interractial relationships?  Or black men?  Or any other gender/race combination?\n\nRacism is commonplace, although a lot of people try to fool themselves into thinking it's not.  Also, there is no such thing as "reverse racism".  Blacks or mexicans hating you for trying to date their family member is the same flavor of racism as in any other case.\n\nBelieve it or not, everyone has the right to like or hate anyone else for any reason.  It's infuriating to see racism so drastically villified, when in fact it is the rule...not the exception.  Since when did the Thought Police start trying to tell us how we can feel towards others?\n\nWe are not this wonderfully open and accepting society that talk show shrinks like to make us out to be.  Many, many families do NOT want to see their family members date outside their race.  That is simply their cultural perspective, and it is not open to debate or judgement by others....whether the family is white, black, mexican, or any other race.

I am sorry finding a better paying job is so difficult for you...I am surprised you wanted to see everybodies opinion on this as I am sure you will get a lot of negative results....I love working with the hispanics I work with...they are all very nice and pleasant to be around....plus they always have really good food and are almost always willing to share....as far as their help where I work at....I don't think we would have a shift to run without them....but don't expect to many white people to say that they can relate to you...remember there are a load of redneck racists out there and well...they took/stole the land from the indians almost wiping out a whole race in the process....and then they enslaved the africans because they were to damn lazy to do their own work....sorry I wish things were different....I really do

UH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!\nHow do people have the nerve to grant American Indians citizenship, when this country was theirs in the first place???? American Indians got screwed by Europeans who were too damn greedy, and cruel.  They felt they were superior to the world, and because of their disgusting behavior Native Americans have suffered the most out of anyone in this country to date.

Native Americans are no different than any other group of people, we each have our own opinions and they are all different.  That is what makes humanity interesting and each person unique. History is  in the past, we can all learn from it.  That is why the USA made laws. By learning through years that some things need regulating. The immigration problem is one of those things.  Manifest Destiny is part of history.  So is the fact that the USA acquired land through winning a war.  The treaty, concluded at Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico was required to cede its claim to California and New Mexico, as well as lands in between them and to the north, to the United States and to recognize the Rio Grande as the southern and western boundary of Texas. In return, the United States paid Mexico a gratuitous $15 million cash and assumed some $3,250,000 more in claims of American citizens on the Mexican government. The USA never stole any land from Mexico.  Mexico lost that war, get over it.\n\nI am a Native American (half Cherokee)

It depends on who you talk to. Everyone will have a different opinion. You can't generalize one opinion for a group of different Native Nations.

I think it depended on what part of the country you lived in and the amount of contact you had with Native Americans.  From my reading, Indians were considered above animals but worse than slaves in their treatment of the whites.\n\nThere were certainly whites both male and female who thought the Native Americans were treated poorly, but I believe the vast majority were indifferent to their plight.\n\nMakes you wonder what we do today as a society that future people will cringe at our ignorance.\n\nMike Honeycutt

Back to sqaure one, my oft repeated answer to such q's (apt, and anyway  it does get me two points) \n\nI wonder if the original native Americans (Red Injuns as you called em) had a say in the matter when the whites from across the ocean invaded their country and all but exterminated them.\n\nYou, dear person are also a descendant of immigrants yourself, I'm sure, as are most of the white and black American folks replying to you, unless you are of Native American descent (which I am sure you would not be proud to proclaim, if you were). Even the guys who came over on the Mayfair, they initiated the unjustness by being the harbingers of terror that culminated in the annihilation of native Americans\n\nI wonder when the Caucasian will ever get over the white 'massa' superiority complex?\n\n\nAmerica has been drawing people from all over the world, right from the days of it's discovery as a land with the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Give it some more time, you'll end up with an exodus of people, as is happening among the immigrants from India which is gaining from the Brain Gain as opposed to the earlier brain drain.\n\nI remember when my cousin migrated to the US in the seventies, people had similar complaints about the Indians.\n\nTh reverse is happening now, a number of western countries have their top people insisting on an India stint, and the Indians, well they wanna come back to their roots.\n\nSo this is gonna happen with the 'greasers' as you seem to allude to the people of Mexican descent in your polite, but hard hitting questions in the immigration section of Yahoo Answers!

First of all I am white but i dont care if people i know are black, blue, or green it is their personalities that i "get along with" or dont get along with.  \nSecond it is because the first african americans in america were slaves and the master/slave mentality is sadly passed from parents to children, and is hard to change. This is horrible.
