Why would you say that?

What else would you call it? I am sick and tired of these chiefs whining constantly yet doing nothing with the millions of dollars they are given. I am sick and tired of the term racist/racism used when natives are just as racist. I am sick and tired of the very people who complain sit and do nothing to improve their lot in life. Do my views make me racist? If so then I am racist.

I don't think that you're racist, babez.

'If you were a cop and I took your wallet because you owed me money and I had to feed my kids (but you're disputing that fact because I owe you for something else), you will fight for it. Others will fight with you for what they see is right. While others that don't know the situation or know that you owe me money might fight against you. And others will think we're all a bunch of uncivilized louts for fighting ALL THE TIME. You'd obviously win any arguments because you're a cop and the judge's would favour your judgment.'

Because that is what this thread is about. Why do some vets gets their own special race based day? Seems to me that sets them apart. Makes them feel more special. and that is wrong.

Agreed.

And death128, that is some vague numbers you posted. between 2 mill and 100 mill after 1492.

100 million would have been over 1/5th the the world's population.

What are you trying to say death128? Try to stay focused, on topic. The police have absolutely zero to do with this thread. Start another thread to pursue your persecution agenda with the police.

The 'cop' thing was just referencing an earlier post regarding an example of why this type of day is necessary and in no way ties to my 'get more aboriginals in the WPS... NOW' agenda.

There are items wrong with the quoted items or I'm just referencing them in regards to what was said. It takes a lot of my time and I can't be explaining fully everything I do... I'd be explaining my whole life to everyone individually and even then most people won't see my point of view until they actually live through it... which is impossible

Death128.

You and I are a lot alike; We are both humans, we both are natives
(native to the planet earth), and we are both Male. We share the same
blood and bone color, we both have hair.

But for some reason you tend to focus your posts (attention) on the persecution of a visibly identifiable minority of Canada. You seem to get irritated or aroused by the this subject, which leads me to ask the question, do you suffer from persecution mania?

I feel sad for the loss of culture and pride of Canada's aboriginal people. But generations have come and gone since, it is time to heal. Canada's aboriginal people are not the first nor will they be the last to be conquered. Much of Europe Afrika and Asia ,have over the span of time been subjugated, conquered and enslaved. Some how the human race continued, we are after all a very industrious resourceful and ambitious race.

In my opinion, Canada's aboriginal population and our government must work together to end this mollycoddling.

There is a way, it wont be easy. But nothing worth living for is easy.

I find it sad that the only thing going on now days is the finger pointing and bickering between the aboriginals and Canada. Its time for aboriginals to take responsibility for themselves and their futures. Work to change, not complain about change.

Well if you have to feed your kids get a job...I seriously do not understand this whole copper thing you keep saying. If more aboriginals want to become cops then why don't they apply? My best friend is a guard at the remand centre and has told me that hardly any natives apply. They are asking for natives plus making it easier for natives to become corrections officers. Why aren't they jumping at that opportunity?

Yes, ENTITLEMENT. Ask your buddy Terry Nelson all about it. Todays Native society has the mentality that everything needs to be handed to them on a silver platter, and that the rest of Canada needs to bow down to their every demand. I blame the Canadian goverment, past and present, for being enablers of this behavioral mentality.

Every one says get over it and move on why do you not tell the Jews to get over the holocaust and move on or the Ukrainians to get over the wrongs to their society .
My point is that as Goth has said some of their problems they are the solution to, some of the hatred go,s to deep to just get over it . Up until the last 20 years there was no wreath laid for them at your ceremony nor did they get to participate . They put one out for the women of the war, but did not even acknowledge the Natives . Well they should not get their own day , please check the history of how they have not always been equal .

Saying to get over it to me is a cop out for some of the wrongs done by this nation . Well it has improved there is still a long way to go.

The Jews and the Ukrainians have gotten over it, there is a big difference between those 2 ethnic groups and the natives. The Jews and Ukrainians are a self sufficient people, they do not depend on tax payers to pay for their lives.....they work hard to pay for their own. They remember what happened in the past they do not dwell on it. If you ask me, the holocaust was more recent and more brutal then anything that happened to the natives. If the natives have a problem they should really take it up with the British Empire, the treaties were signed by the British, not my family.

I agree that the Ukrainians have gotten over it....but the Jews? I thought that Jews were genetically predisposed to keeping it alive. Wink

Let's not forget the Canadians with Japanses background. They where confined to internment camps during the war. They have forgiven us.
