'Your people wronged my people a couple hundred years ago' Blah blah blah it gets old. Go back far enough everyones been fucked by someone and everyone has fucked someone else
Boy you really don't know US law or history do you?
There are certain disputes that exist today which have been ongoing, and the Supremes court has ruled in favour of Indians for land disputes. They have the legal right to dispute those lands, and US has the obligation to meet the challenge.
Also, they weren't wronged 100 years ago, it is an ongoing and current offense. But of course, a statement like that shows you probably don't care to know your history. Taking a lot of self-restraint to not just start cursing...
Curse all you want I still will not care and they will not get what they want, sure they may get something and this is their angle to get as much as possible.
see what I mean skyblue1? Parts doesn't care, just makes ignorant statements with no knowledge of the facts, the history, the law, or the purpose. Makes the same presumptions about people's motives that racists make.
And I didn't curse. For the record. But I am upset, because that racist BS is what lets a genocide to finish itself off.
I have nothing to do with your conversation with Parts,
But then again, I do share his view
And dont think think we are ignorant in the least.
Lawsuit this, lawsuit that.
Gets a little old to us older more experienced and much wiser folks.
But, keep tilting at all your windmills. Nothing wrong with it. Its good to have passion.
You do realize its not a lawsuit, they aren't looking for money.
Give me a fucking break, not looking for money what bullshit. Read all you want on their website and how they just want their land back but the truth is they are not going to get it. They will get something I am sure some land, money or both but not everything they say they want even they know it.
The Catawbas held up progress in my county for years, with their last Treaty lawsuit. ( 1980 -1991)
This after they had recieved a huge settlement in the 1950's to settle their original Treaty lawsuit.
Yep, its all about the money.
And thats taxpayer dollars
#1 to generalize from one nation to another is a racist notion that all Indians are the same no matter where they from, what language they speak, who they are.
#2 Also the racist politicians arguments that Indians are always looking for money, as if genocide, displacement, oppression, and continual "screwing-the-over" means nothing at all.
#3 1950's? Lets see... during that time...what was the US doing, oh yeah, kidnapping children forcing them into boarding schools where they were abused, molested, raped, and punished for speaking the language they knew. and what is that exactly?
Excerpt from the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of Genocide (For full text click here)
"Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
#3 So, they should just assimilate, forget about their ancestors, forget about their cultures, forget about their languages, forget about their relationship with the land, flora, and fauna, forget about their history, forget about their duties in their respective communities, etc., and just assimilate.
WTF you think they survived this long to just assimilate? Hell no.
