They missed the part about spoils of war. They lost and we won yet they want to act like they still have something to bargain with. People have been conquering the planet for as long as man has been here. We own it until somebody takes it away or our government gives it to someone else.
relax, it's a satire site...I gotta admit I chuckled a little.
this same piece sparked a discussion I had with some folks, and felt it made sense to drop it here
Radical Islam and Colonials...
Having had a few conversations regarding the plight of the Native Americans, I started drawing some parallels. The Colonists came into the continent with dreams and thoughts of a brave new world. One problem, there were already people here...they dressed funny, had customs they really didn't understand or thought were completely wrong.
Then the cultures started to blend, you have those that didn't want this blending on both sides, but they were the minority in the conversations. There were some conflicts, but folks started working out their differences and made peace with each other. Then the push started, the genocide, it was too late for the Natives. Their society and culture was diluted and pushed out over 300 years of coexistence, and then the real massacres started, they real destruction.
People will argue that the Native Americans are still here and strong. They are still here, but what is left of their culture, and what happens in another 100 years, as it continues to diminish and their way of life continues to disappear.
You have the peaceful Muslims, and the Radical ones, the peaceful Colonials and the Aggressive ones...when it comes down to it, where will North America be in 100 years.
The plot of land set aside for us in will be a mass grave not a reservation.
So does this mean we get proceeds from their casino's too?
I want reparations for what the Native Americans did to my ancestors. I'm not sure what it was but I want reparations.
