History and race.

I think Native Americans have a legitiment cripe with the way early
Ameican History has been portrayed in the U.S. History books. Most of
what is written about Native Americans is biased in favorite of White
settlers. But, protesting at a children's event is not a good idea & only
creates bad feelings.

Liz,

I didn't say that the Amerinds were given a fair shake as far as the history books goes-

My only point was to say that the first thanksgiving was a great story about people getting together - why should anyone have a problem with with the celebration that has a great teaching point and is a starting point for a tradition?

I am gonna get down and dirty for a second here, I mean no offense to any side of the arguement.

A bunch of white folks go camping with little or no preparation. They are looking to get away from some other dude that wants to tell them who god is.

They end up in a place where they have to struggle to survive and some locals come around and tell them how to get their shiat together. Everyone decides to have a pot luck They gather around the table, grab a bite. They have a good time, everyone watches the football games, passes out on the couch and the next day they think,

"That was fun, let's do it again next year!"

So why are a few pilgrims taking the heat for the other morons that followed?

I think that the 'movement' should come out with a with a little promotion that celebrates the holiday, maybe?

How's about-

"If it wasn't for the American Indian, you wouldn't be here today?"
or
"We helped you out once, How's about helping us get the story straight!"

Instead of being ticked off about the SITTING BULL HIGH SCHOOL WARRIORS or the Washington Redskins, let's soothe the pain! Ban all mention of the Amerinds in American History!

If the mention of native Americans in history is such a touchy subject, let's remove all mention of the shameful way that they were treated after the Pilgrim Buffet. Wounded Knee, the Trail of Tears, reservations and all the John Wayne movies.

We cannot allow such a shameful part of our history to made known.

So, we can forget all the help that the Pilgrims were given by the local indiges? Take all the mention of them out of the equation and we can 'write' history the way it should be done.

With more lies and stupid ideas.

If the organizers of the protest were intelligent and realized the important contribution their people made at that point in time, they would find a way to exploit the idea and the holiday in a way that would benefit everyone.

I had to laugh at this editorial/commentary.

Bill Richardson gave his endorsement, after a luke warm run at the presidency, and he expected to get a post or seat in the new government?

Se puede? Not likely.

BR may have a star studded resume, but his not getting any kind of "love" from BO doesn't mean jack shiat to me in the long run.

Ohhhh!

Us "Latinos" really don't care where BR ends up. In the long run the people who we elect to represent ALL people. toss us aside and go on to the next plateau.


When it comes down to it, I'd trust BR as far as I could throw myself.

Not very far.

If Bill Richardson did deliver the Latino/Hispanic vote for BO, good for him.

If getting kicked in the huevos for all his work is the thanks he gets, let it be a warning to all the people who run under the banner of Change, Color and "Que se puede Y que vale madre".

MORONS.

Ai, Dios!

The political scene in Mexico is probably the same as it is here.

You have 'los politicos' who use the people to move into the seats of power they desire. I guess it's not correct to get a promise in exchange for the support you get for a candidate.

Sad, but true.

NO, it's not the people living in Mexico that are looking for the U.S. to give back the territories. It's the generations of Hispanics who were born here and have no concept of the history between Mexico and the U.S.

They are brainwashed by the different high school/college groups on campus that promote a dislike for the government and the laws that we need to keep
it going.

I am sitting here watching the Florida Gators playing the Florida St. Seminoles.

Now, here is another quandry!

All the small high schools and community colleges were under pressure to change their school mascots names/images because they were offensive to the Amerinds images.

Yet, you still have this HUGE UNIVERSITY that has kept the name SEMINOLES, have little tomahawks and spears on the helmets. They got rid of the Indian who used to ride out on the field and plant the spear in the ground at midfield.

The student body still do the "tomahawk chop" while the band plays that stupid ditty that every kid heard growing up while watching a Western/cowboy movie.

What's up with that?
