(13,003 posts)We have a personalized license plate here in Colorado for "Heritage" people.....
I am loading groceries in my truck, and the guy next to me is bragging to another guy that he has a 'Heritage Plate" and how great he feels about it.
I walked over and said how do you qualify for one of those...He goes into bragging that means he is at least fourth generation Colorado residents.
I turned to he and his buddy and said: So you are celebrating that your ancestors, murdered all of my ancestors?????????
The looks on their faces was priceless, and the guy was totally speechless.......as he should have been.
Now, he can't even look at his plate without thinking of me, and what I said.....
I wasn't making it up, I am 1/4 Arapahoe...........

It breaks my heart how like a totalitarian state we've become. Trump stirred all prejudices to a boiling point.

(3,593 posts)As the parent of a son who is a colonel now and two grandsons also in the army and currently in Sapper training........ I remember when my son was first in Iraq, then Afghanistan, then the Horn of Africa.
These are perilous times and my heart goes out to anyone who risks their own safety in ANY way for peace and for freedom in this country. We need TRUE patriots who risk THEMSELVES for the sake of others.

(13,003 posts)F***ing good thing for their ancestors, that the Native Americans didn't have a "Border Patrol"
The largest GENOCIDE ever committed, far worse than Hitler and the 6 million he exterminated.
Historians say between 30-60 MILLION Native Americans were murdered by white immigrant settlers......

Many land-grant colleges also were established with land taken from Native Americans or continue to profit from stolen land with oil and gas leases. Considering the genocide perpetrated on these people, every Native American child should get a free college education.

Can anyone provide a transcript or a text synopsis? I am banned from YouTube for the audacity of having an ad blocker.

2. Search for and download Ublock Origin, this is an ad blocker, one that works.
3. Use Firefox to go to Youtube and DO NOT LOG INTO YOUTUBE. This is key.
4. Search Youtube for the videos you want to watch. They are now ad free.
Youtube has gone to shit since Google took over. You will have to search for what you want to watch, and you cannot comment on the videos in this mode, but it is now AD FREE!

(39,314 posts)I just laughed and told them I AM "where I came from." And where my ancestors came from." What about you? I just got mumbles as they slithered away. Jackasses.

(1,952 posts)His executive order ending birthright citizenship is intended to strip Native Americans of citizenship also, because it specifically relies on an old Supreme Court ruling from the 1800s that denied them citizenship.

From REAL Indigenous American people. People that treasured and worshipped the land and water gifted them by their gods. With no one owning land.
I love this fearless woman.
