[QUOTE="Rainman, post: 1741557, member: 22207"] One thing doesn't have anything to do with the other. You accuse others of racism, while you post more racist comments than anyone else I've seem on BC. By the way, I'm part Cherokee. Those were my ancestors that were cheated, robbed, raped, and slaughtered. Why would I or others with native ancestry think what happened was right? You assume you know more than you actually do know. To most people, the term Redskin means nothing more to them than to identify a football team. How many people do you hear referring to Native Americans as redskins? Where I live no one uses that term. What happened 150 years ago was wrong. Murdering Native Americans, slavery, domestic rape, all were wrong. No one disagrees with those points. Times have changed and those things are no longer acceptable. I think everyone agrees with that. As for reminders about wrong actions in the past, we need some of those. Otherwise, people will forget and history will be repeated. Murdering natives, the Holocaust, Jihad( this has happened many times over the centuries), all these things will be repeated in one form or another. We can't allow what happened to be forgotten or be viewed somehow as acceptable. The issue here is your hypocrisy. And your hate filled posts. The content is accurate for the most part, minus your spin that you occasionally try to put on certain subjects. You post as if the world is unaware of what happened, and as if the rest of us are all idiots and you are the savior of the world by bringing things to light. If you spent half the effort to do things to improve situations as you do posting and treating others as fools, then you would accomplish a great deal. As it is now, you only create more hate and negativity. Try doing something constructive to improve situations, and you will be surprised to find out just how many people will come along side to help you and back you up. A lot of people are simply waiting for the right leader. Heck, if you were doing the right thing I might follow you and help you myself. Ditch the hate and hypocrisy first. [/QUOTE]
