Horrible things were done both to Native Americans and Black people. Black people were kidnapped in the most horrible ways, separated from their land and family only to be treated like animals and be slaves. \nLike you said, Native Americans were treated horrible too. Not just by taking away their children. They were also killed by white people who came to the "New World". \nThis is not a competition. The pain and suffering that one group went through, does not belittle the pain and suffering the other group went through. Horrible things were done, and we should all be aware that horrible things are still being done all over the world to people, just because they belong to a certain ethnicity or religion. We should all practice tolerance. We should all do our best to make sure these kinds of things do not happen again.

slavery has impacted the u.s. by former slaves ancesters thinking they are still owed something today. affirmative action is the worst thing we as a country could've done and acknowledging a race which automatically singles one out from the american whole.  African American.  I don't call myself all my nationalities before american.  ex.  german, italian, irish american.  see what i mean.  then to have sepatory groups such as the naacp is bullshit.  african americans have it all going for them today but they're just to caught up in having to have the latest tommy shit (which who is as racist as the come) which shows the stupidity of race as a whole.  come on they recieve higher test scores and get reconized for acccomplishing less than the fellow american.  wake up america time to play cowboys and n........

all of them..blacks are considered ignorant and bad, native americans are considered primitive and inferior, hispanics all of them are considered to be ignorant, dirty immigrants, and the list just goes on and on......jews were killed in the millions and so were native americans and lost of other races.........a whole bunch of ignorant thinking done by so many ignorant people....

Honestly....It's not. Far less than past history. Problem is most blacks bring up the race card against the whites still. Twenty year old kids no nothing of race discrimination, and have no business claiming they're entitled to money from the government due to slavery. The U.S. government owes blacks nothing anymore. The indians bitch less and whites stole everything from them and wiped out most of the tribes too. Trust me. Discrimination isn't so much these days. If you're white you're white. Act white. If you're black, you're black. And act black. But don't claim anything because of your color.

woohoo finally someone has the same thoughts on this as i do.... hello people every history book will tell you that the native Americans where here first and that the Europeans ran them out of all their homes... yes, Mexicans came and did the same to the Indians when they took over Arizona, new Mexico and California but seriously how much better is white people than brown people if they both stole this land from the true natives??\n\nedited-what I'm saying is yes the Indians where here first but i do not agree with new immigrants or Americans taking advantage of welfare.. i have three children and can't get any help to send them to preschool because my husband  makes a HAIR more than the limit. now my oldest son is behind in kindergarten. \nI'm not trying to contradict myself i just don't like to hear white people say they where here first. and i don't like the fact that because people don't work they get hand outs, and the middle class can't get any help at all...\n\nedited- i don't get what is this discussion about dirty jobs? i love the show but i don't understand what you are all talking about? email me..thanks in advance..

I tell you the said part about your ignorant quesiton. You have other's here that take it as a joke and say that it is not mean, but in fact if you of a minority(Whether it be black,hispanic, or asian) you will be offended by someone who is very how can I say uneducated. If you remember correctly the true "natives" of america where placed on reservations by those who thought they where better a race(but if you want to get technical there are NO true natives in america), african americans were enslaved and were punished if they tried to get freedom and now the poor hispancs are fighting to get into a country that doesn't want and they are getting punished (deportation, traps placed by vigilantes in the areas) because they want freedom. This is a sad country indeed. Makes me want to go to canada.

Which white people are you talking about?  No one that I know has a problem with anyone, black or white, discussing slavery and learning about it.  I do have an issue with those who pick the most outrageous incidents and state as a fact "We know your evil, wicked, dirty ancestors beat, tortured and killed millions of innocent slaves".  Millions killed is an extreme exaggeration.  Think about it for a minute.  The slaveowner's livelihood depended on slave labor.  They were valuable property.  What modern farmer would deliberately wreck his tractor or risk damaging it by purposely exceeding its mechanical limits?  And, concerning your point #4, are the Black Africans who accepted those guns in exchange for slaves any less responsible than the white slavers who offered them?

You watch to much TV. When the settlers first came not all were unwelcome by the Indians-there was plenty of land. The settles brought things the Indians wanted. Fighting did not start right away. My family was from the Kickapoo tribe-you need to know your history better.

I 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\nst

Yo whats crackalaken?... Good Questions..and being Black I can tell you the Panthers are reverse racism in the worst way. Anyone that listens to Farakhan is not the sharpest tool in the shed. I also found it funny that the ORIGINAL Klan(there a 3 diffent Klan Nations) after the Civil War was created to drive carpetbaggers(YANKEES) from the south and the 2nd coming of the Klan was the one that really started the Hangings and crap..they also hung quite a few whites and had 4 million members in the 30's. Bobby and Huey Long never came close to that with the Panthers. Both Org. now are not really strong, maybe people see that only as ONE can we do anything.

Singling people out no matter what the race, creed or color is wrong. I'm disappointed to hear that this happened especially on the elementary school level. It perhaps sent out a message, but one we are trying to avoid. As my school prepared for a MLK Day celebration one elequent speaker came to our school and said the following:\n\n(Yes, I'm paraphrasing)\n\n "In our day and age, I feel that sometimes people of my own race are bringing judgements upon themselves unnecessarily. They preach of equality, but when given the rights, want more. Yes, we cannot deny the treatment of Blacks was unacceptable. But must we dwell on the past instead of embracing the future? If we seek equality, why do we draw attention upon ourselves? Why have a "Black History Month?" Is there a "White History Month?" We are asking not to be set "a part." Yes we insist on our own month to celebrate our fine figures from the past? Shouldn't EVERY day of every month be a celebration of what these fine people did? We should live by their words, not force their word."\n\nI think what the world needs is to accept that we are more open-minded than we were 30-40 years ago. Sure, we have pockets of our population that will never be. But the change has been immense. Thank God! This speakers words spoken so elequently made so much sense to all those in that room that day. I think it brought the school together with a "sigh" of relief. All races realized we were working together.....no one is set apart. There is no need to favor a soul in our world today. We all prove who we are by being.....who we are. \n\nThank you for sharing the poem. My hope is that schools such as this, ideals such as this, practices such as this will so very soon be a thing of the distant past.

My grandfather told me about a cousin who did this back in the forties. The cousin went up North to live and didn't contact anyone.  My grandpa went to visit him one time; the cousin made him come at night and he had to enter the house through the back.  After that no one ever saw the cousin again.  My mother told me about some Blacks who "passed" for a time in order to get a better education, but then returned to their families once they were done.  I can see why some Blacks would pass in earlier times, but not now.  I don't agree with what they did, but to some extent I understand why.  Personally even if I could "pass" I wouldn't; I love my family, my people and my culture too much.  People who "pass" had to stay away from all Black people.  Can't take a chance on someone's "Blackdar" finding you out!

It makes me sick inside when I think of that subject. I actually had a very charismatic History Teacher, he informed us when our books were trying to brainwash us. What is truly sad is that white people didn't stop with the Indians. They oppressed many cultures. Don't worry though. Our time here on earth isn't judged in groups. We all face that alone.

FIRST THANK YOU. The Indians were not Native to America. Evolution has it that everyone came from Africa. do we know that as fact? No. But that is getting off the question. Thank you again for clarifying that Indians are not native.
