  • I cant have what i want... That's racist!

  • I am Native and the the phuccen Gooks from Asia should be the next to get the boot cause those phuccen foreigners have there oen countrries which is where they belong. I am not satified until the Gooks get kicked out too.

  • I use to feel sorry for black’s because I knew black’s as a group were inferior. The same way you would give a brake to a mentally retarded person. The guilt trip dose NOT work anymore.

  • oh F&^% more blacks wanting a free handout %^&^ get over it. this tribe has been through enough let them do what they wanna do. ITS ABOUT THE BLOOD

    I recently watched a documentary on famous black americans claiming to have indian blood not one of them in a dna test showed any indian blood .do your research

  • Fuck them Indian pieces of shit. I wish they all were wiped off the face of the earth. Blacks cannot keep saying whites when there are other groups who show the same hatred.

  • It's all about divide and conquer, if you understand this, you will see the light!

  • what about if your white and your great great grandmother was adopted by a black family? does that mean your black? does that mean you have the right to call yourself black? the black people would have a field day if they ever met a white man with no black blood in him call himself black ? can he get a scholarship thats intended for a african american student the answer is no he couldnt he has no black ancestors

  • Thier was no slavery under Native Americans. it's all lies and white man propaganda.

  • I think that yes if they have been members all along why cut them out now? If they are worried about people trying to get handouts then maybe just restrict membership to long term freedman members and cut it off but to totally kick them out I don't think is fair.

  • we are breaking treaty!!! the freedmen where members of the tribe and our ancestors said so in writing!!! its not just about blood degree... they also walked and died on the trail of tears! we should honer there rights as cherokee!!! Some of the remarks I read here really are ignorant and very disgusting! If we rely on blood degree only now! we will only be erasing or children in the future.

  • black people come from the bonobo monkey.........these creatures are not to be taken seriously.look it up the have 94.98% of there dna the are only found in the congo.

  • @1980vince Boy, your entire family twig must be so proud of you...

  • @1980vince Shame on you.

  • @1980vince I like how not even psuedo intellectual white people like you still try and used unbased and unfounded science to fuel your racist genetics theories about black people and other people of color. Maybe you are 99% dog animal as you all have shown by your behavior towards other peoples around the world.

  • The Cherokee nation voted to not allow blacks who didn't have Cherokee ancestry and were just freedmen left over from the Emancipation Proclamation. Just because you lived with Cherokee doesn't make you Cherokee. These people were black, yes, but they didn't have any Cherokee ancestry. How can you be in the Cherokee nation without any Cherokee blood. Its nonsense!

  • @squishycholate1 many mixed race Cherokee have the same problem getting documentation. The CN offers Cherokee history and culture to all who seek it. You are no more important than the millions in your same place, I will add most of them are mixed Cherokee-European. You should have the same options they have and do!

  • @squishychocolate1 The ones I have a problem with are people who descended from Freedmen that have no Cherokee DNA. I still firmly believe they should try to connect with their African ancestors. When they were freed they were made Cherokee Citizens as long as they remained in the Cherokee Nation. The ones in question had ancestors that did not mix with Cherokee. They have less right to become citizens of the CN than many who have Cherokee DNA and can't!

  • @RainbowDefender im with you on that we dont dicriminate againist race we dicriminate againist lack of proof. if they not cherokee and dont have cherokee blood in them why are they fighting so hard to be a part of something they have nothing to do with . watch the video "DNA PROVES BLACKS ARENT WHAT THEY THINK THEY ARE " i "black man " sets out to disprove the whole ima black indian myth watch it it even proves morgan freeman that so proudly claims hes native has zero indian blood

  • @squishychocolate1 Sorry to hear that you think I don't think mixed race Cherokee-African people have a right and need to connect with their Cherokee ancestors.lease go back and read what you replied to. That was never stated or implied" I agree one drop of Cherokee blood makes you Cherokee. I hope you find your Cherokee self!

  • Okay..I am not pointing fingers but, how in the heck are black people with Cherokee ancestry supposed to provide written documentation to prove lineage...A lot of my family history was passed along orally...Don't forget that in recent history not many black folks could read or write...I think that a lot of the rules are put into place to keep black ppl away from the Cherokee Nation..We are here...We are not going any where..You can't wish us away!..Embrace us & save yourselves the heart ache

  • *IMHO*..ehh..i am Canoni Lakota, so..i do not have a voice here...But (& there is always a but, eh?) .yes..they should have to register just like anybody else or forget it...however, IF they can prove lineage, they should have the right to be part of the tribe? ..i am 3/4ths blood, with card carrying family in the rez , but i do not have a card, nor do i want one..i'll be damned if ill let this vile gov, which i do Not recognise,, telling me who i am...anyone who wants one let em earn it?

  • I ,am irish cherokee, german, french.and i love it all.

  • He also refused to admit white Cherokee. none the less the Cherokee Nation has both blacks and whites really get real stop the spin!

  • @dubtexentertainment The jury has not came back yet on the charge that there is an Obama deception. I am waiting for them to offer proof I can't see thru BTW he is also part Cherokee. Do you think Sam Houston was great but Lamar was evil? I do I see you too are a Texan. You sound like a Ron Paul person he is great he was my congressman at one time he belongs in congress not the white house in my book.

  • I remember hearing stories from my grandpa on how his dad and other family members had to try to hide their Indian heratige to be respected more and be given better jobs.....and im sad to say most of my family back then turned to beer and drugs and left their history behind them....but I think as a country now ALL races must come together to defeat these evil "elite" people running the "U.S.A."...please everybody go watch K-Rino - Grand Deception....and Obama Deception

  • man fuck dat i got Cherokee in me fuck all haters get slapped with my dick bitch if not that i got Piscataway blood in me oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhh you smell like the DC Zoo you got baptized by Shamu small foot big shoe blue is that a clue god damn you fuck you you do the stanky leg on the highway for free chicken selects like shit girl you go to McDonalds and ask for 5 dollar footlongs with your welcome to good burger home of the good burger head ass fuk ya
  • The Cherokee Nation will give them all the tools they need to be Cherokee if they want to be, just as with anyone else! Do they want to know the history, culture, or language of the real people? I think not the CN offers it freely to all who seek it! Their ancestors gave up CN citizenship by leaving as they were told would happen if they left! Some stayed and mexedwith the DNA of the real people, their descendants can be CN citizens. Have the freedmen descendants ever thought about becoming rea

  • @RainbowDefender I remember hearing stories from my grandpa on how his dad and other family members had to try to hide their Indian heratige to be respected more and be given better jobs.....and im sad to say most of my family back then turned to beer and drugs and left their history behind them....but I think as a country now ALL races must come together to defeat these evil "elite" people running the "U.S.A."...please everybody go watch K-Rino - Grand Deception....and Obama Deception

  • This is really upsetting!!!! how many mexed dan Cherokee can not be a citizen of the Cherokee Nation??? Really racism? You got that right! No Cherokee DNA and thier ancestors left the CN now they come back looking for money? really call the greedy greedy and be done with it! Sorry get real and know the truth b4 you hide behind 1/2 of a degree of separation! Some mexed Afracan Cherokee people are citizens of the CN GET REAL,

  • @RainbowDefender I am sad you describe Black ppl looking for their ancestry as greedy...My history is important in my evolution as a person..I don't want your hush money...I would however love to learn the language and culture of my ancestors..I would like to be able to pass this knowledge to my children and their children and so on....I want them to understand they come from a long, diverse line of strong people..What is wrong with that?

  • To bad we didn't have the bow's we have today I venture to say if we did we'd be eating a lot more fish and corn.

  • Chad smith has done little for us, wish Wilma Mankiller were cheif still. She is the one who figured if Oklahoma charges us to drive on they're highways then we should charge freight on the Arkansas, thus it opened the doors to Casino's. A smart and lovely lady she is, as for Chad, well you decide. Personally James Earl Jones family walked the trail of tears.

  • when will the human race ever get out the rhetoric of mediocrity such as rascism and war.

  • thats because blacks arent natives, and if they do have native blood then they can go to their own res, its called lumberton and join the rest of the lumbees.

  • Also if white people were stupid enough to put people in slavery then they are no better than pigs. Also my ancestors spoke Hebrew and Ladino not Yiddish.

  • was he allowed to rule as king,but he was a great prophet as well. The slave masters would require the slaves to sing negro spirituals in the south (songs of zion) in the belief that the songs would make them more productive. As entertainment (mirth) whites would make slaves fight to their death. If they were more civil,(whites) they would have the slaves do some vaudeville shtick often in black face.

  • There is no 'J' in the hebrew alphabet either, I bet you don't try to correct your pastor when he sais jesus. Anywhoo let me 'twist' another scripture for you. (One of my favorites)

    Psalms 137:3 for they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth,saying, sing us one of the songs of zion.

    4. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land.

    ----commentary----

    David enjoyed such a relationship with YAH that not only cont...

  • Actually no since I have a Priest with authority not some heretic preacher. Secondly I belong to the Orthodox Church(right belief right worship) and we ARE the original Church since 33AD and we broke off from no other Church. Thirdly the languages used in Church are Greek, Aramaic, Coptic, and Arabic. The venacular of course is used as well. Also I could careless what slaves did in the South since 1 they were stupid to be slaves, and 2 my family didn't own any.

  • LMAO! We all knew which tribes we belonged to up until the Spanish inquisition moron. Considering the surname Kohan was my last male Sephardic ancestors last name and what it means in Hebrew, one can confer that iss the tribe they belonged to. Also there again I'm not a Jew but am a literal descedent of Avraham. Sephards came to Spain from Palestine in about 30 BCE. Also Hashem isn't called Yah for there is no vowels in ancient hebrew. Also Mizrahic Jews never left the middle east.

  • Is think this is what you meant by ***secondly you are the people who claim to be Abraham's people and aren't***

    Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are jews , and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

    Notice this verse uses the operative phrase 'synagogue of satan' Who worships in synagogues? Who's in league with satan? (starting wars for profit, cont...

  • cont..funding both warring factions, slaying innocents in palestine, occupying palestine, betrayed their host country (germany) in WWI,raided fort knox, subsidized the trans-atlantic slave trade, conducts satanic rituals (masons and bohemian grove members), federal reserve act.) Nope the christ is hardly talking about black folx, rather he is talking to his people. See a nation of Israel NOW is willfull defiance of YAH's word. If you would have read Jeremiah 17:4 and psalm 83:3 cont...

  • cont... (Very easy to understand verseswhy I put them there) You could plainly see that YAH has stripped Israel of her identity. These khazars have been calling YAH a liar for over 2,000yrs. Christ called them blashpemors.(rightly so)

    IF The sephardi are hebrew? (they have been practicing jewry since the first century) how come they refer to themselves as jews instead of benjamites,levites,and yahudee. As fratricidial as the hebrews were in the first century it would have cont....

  • cont...been unthinkable for levites and bejamites to be called yahudah.

    YAH said it is blasphemy for any one but levites to perform the levitical sacraments, yet U guys are going to build your temple and start sacrifising animals again. This is an open defiance of YAHS word. YAH sais that Israel is hidden psalm 83:3. Now if the real hebrews don't know who the levites are, (fufilling prophecy) It begs the question 'how can a group of people who collectively call themselves jews cont.

  • cont...determine that one of them now is a levite.

    Leviticus 26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

    ----commentary-----

    Any city usa and you will find the sons of jacob (slaying) falling upon each other. The sword here is used as illustration of the veracity with which this prophecy will be fullfilled. --read your daily paper--

    hebrews are powerless in this country/world.

  • leviticus 26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

    The prophecies concerning israel in deutoronomy and leviticus as well as throughout the bible were meant to be specific enough for you to identify the people whom fell out of YAH's cont....

  • cont...favor. When you see how the prophecies fit us like a glove to hand. We are supposed to be a proverb and an astonishment to all the tribes of man, so that you might fear and honour this wonderfull and mighty name of YAH, the sovereign of the world. Now a lieing tongue has the world convinced of crafty lies and is ready to waltz the people of the world straight to hell. Now that YAH is opening our eyes you don't have as long as you think to get the truth straight.

  • LOL they don't fit the black african like a glove. I love how you and your white ethnocentric counter parts twist scripture for your own evil purposes. You say something about Freemasons? Proves you don't what your talking about. People always fear what they don't know. God will judge you accordingly for your evil misuse of his Logos! Also it was speaking of evil Jews at the time it was written, not in a modern sense, nor was it meaning all Jews. Typical idiotic fundamentalist heretic!

  • I thought that you said You were related to the founding fathers,they were slave owners. Which one is it. ~sigh~ atypical white man,speaking out of both sides of his neck.

    This country is being brought ti it's knees by duplicitous liars! When are you going to become full of their lies?? Why would you let known liars tell U who is or is not a Hebrew?? (U know U have'nt researched the matter)

    Do U believe the bloody people in israel now are Yah's (GOD to you) chosen people?? cont..

  • cont...what am i thinking. Of course you believe it.

    In psalm 83 verse 3 Israel is referred to as the 'hidden ones' hidden means secret, or not known by the masses.

    Jeremiah 17:4 And thou even thyself; shall discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in the land which thou knowest not: For ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn forever.

    5) Thus saith the LORD; cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh cont.

  • cont..flesh his arm, and whose heart departed from the LORD.

    Verse 5 you should repeat daily since you believe that YOUR people can determine who a native is by the stroke of a pen (dawes act) and you can't seem to resist lieing tongues when they tell you that a clan of people whose ancestors never set a foot in the holy land are now the seed of abraham.

  • WRONG! Not all founding fathers were slave owners. You need to really study your history more. Secondly you are the people who claim to be Abraham's people and aren't. My ancestors lived in Spain under Moorish rule and they also came from the Galilee area long before the crusaders so you tell me oh enlightned one. There are many Jews who aren't Ashkenazi like my ancestors. It's funny blacks didn't start believing that crap until AFTER 1880 LMAO! Only some in Ethiopia did and most are converts.

  • Also in addition to the Dawes act the tribes ALL voted with majority to exclude Freedman and undocumented whites from tribal membership and as such ammended their constitutions. Typical rustafarian speaking about Hashem and half truths outside your neck. Go smoke your gonja and keep believing your descended from the house of Judah lol!

  • Also I bet if a DNA test was ran I bet only half or a third have native blood and not white. It was easier to say I slept with an indian, than being raped or slept with master who is white. Also sins aren't passed to another PERIOD! Learn the Torah if you're gonna pretend to be a Jew. Also you'll have to leave Jesus alone because you can't be both. Being of Hebrew ancestry has no blessings or curses in of itself.Once a family leaves the Torah after 2 generations they cease to be under the Torah.

  • It's not called HISstory for naught. You should be the poster boy for the atypical white man who sticks his finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing.

  • hebrew israelite I am paying for transgressions that my forbears committed thousands of years ago. See deuteronomy 28:68

    P.S You still have not explained why there are so many blacks in Okla and Ark. with creek and cherokee blood in their veins. Wait a minnit........I got it. Since these are black peoples they gotta be lying.

  • LMAO! I knew you were one of those nuts, and that's enough said right there. I hate to tell you but based on your statement of Indian descent, you have the same blood quantum as me lol. Also I'm not typical nor did my ancestors own slaves. Also unless you're a Berber, Lemba, or one of the VERY few Ethiopians who have Hebrew blood, you're not Hebrew, nor are you a Jew. I know what the H.I. nuts spout and it ain't love or even remotely factual. There are Hebrews who never left Israel, LMAO!

  • @royalljelly, YOU ARE ON POINT. I too, await the answer as to why "there are so many blacks in Oklahoma with Creek and Cherokee blood in their veins"

  • LMAO! Just by your comments anyone can see you're a racist! And unless you're half white or asian yousa black man by your own view point as well! I couldn't claim only one race anyway. Who would want to if they're of varied ancestry? Also you gave the wrong answer, and missed the point with the small pox answer. The blankets infested with small pox came before Jackson's time in the military or government.Go back further to the founders of the country. Try isolation and no natural immunity.

  • A. Jackson got the small pox contagion from the british who got them from cadevers. (You do know this is the internet,if I did'nt already know the answer it would be right at my fingertips)

    *************I am mixed*******************

    Un huhn...sure you are...righto.

    Yousa a white man,(since when do jews go aroung calling themselves mixed??? (I oughta be LMBAO) One of the tenants of all faiths is you reap what you sow. YOU have a lot to answer for, and mixed ain't gone cut it.

  • I'm not a Jew moron but a Christian. I'm of Sephardic Jewish roots right along being 1/8th Muscogee Creek, and 1/16 Cherokee blood quantum, and Scotts-Irish. You're a racist ethnocentric bigot. You say they natives mixed with hardier stock survive? LMAO! The reason so many natives died had nothing to do with ethnicity or race. Learn some biology(it's also at your fingertips). I have science not fairy tales on my side. I have to only answer for my own sins, no one else, like everyone else.

  • ***** The government owes me nothing, and I owe it nothing.*****

    Alex I'll take something that rush would say for a 1,000 (or maybe a white guy from Okla.) Who do you think receives most of the largesse in this country? Wow! Do you really believe that stuff on faux ? Who do you think benefitted from 2,000,000,000,000 starwars debaucle? ( the only trickle down I got was when they grabbed my ankles and turned me upside down and started shaking my last quarter out) or the cont...

  • cont...silverado fiasco, or maybe the 9,000,000,000,000 that georgie gave to the bankers (God forbid we even think about the derivatives) and defense contractors. EVERY TIME one of these 'events' happen you(whites) manage to somehow blame minorities. Why do you think that guns and drugs are plied in black communities anyway ? (no the freeman did'nt put them there) To keep you distracted from the real crime thats going on in this country. Ya gotta quit drinking that rushade.

  • LMAO! You're so full of it! I don't watch Fox nor do you have any grasp of where the small pox virus came from. Most natives didn't mix with blacks, and a lot didn't mix with whites either. There are plenty of full blood Muscogee and Cherokee around to this day.Being from the east and descended from those who didn't leave to the west, I could care less about Oklahoma. Also unlike you I consider myself mixed not white retard. Also don't even talk $ when Obama has spent more than anyone period!

  • @stevenewman, you could care less about Oklahoma? And you say you're Muscogee, hmmm.

  • Im not part of the Muscogee nation of Oklahoma. im in the east and belong to the eastern band so yeah thats on them. If you can prove ur bloodline do so if not get over it ur not going to be in the tribe.

  • @stevennewman, honeychile, I AM a member of the Muscogee Creeks. DEAL WITH IT. My full blood grandmother, made damn sure, her family would not be denied their rights. Just like many others, who enroll in tribes. Those "mixed" with WHITE, AND BLACK, thank you very much. You seem very hateful and ignorant. A poor representative of a tribal member.

  • @papillion...steven is an atypical 'neck' whose time has just about run out. He is totally oblivous to all the signs right in front of his very eyes.

  • @akaroyalljelly I got news for you racist false hebrew hates my african ancestors so I take the Jews instead freak I really dont care what your oblivious mind comes up with. She was stupid wrong and so are you!

  • @stevennewman, cont,if you are of the eastern band, you are not a Muscogee Creek. You are a Porchband or what have you. Secondly, I see many white folk with Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, etc, blood, benefitting from services also. Not just the "black" members. The govt took, and so shall the gov't REPAY, thank you very much.

  • You're an idiot. You just assume I don't like blacks or anyone else. WRONG! My boyfriend is black and my nephew is half black so get it right. Secondly its tribal law concerning citizenship. If you cant prove descent you're not a member of the tribe. Thirdly I'm not Muscogee? There are many Muscogee in Alabama and Georgia full bloods even so what kinda stupid comment is that?

  • @stevennewnan Hey. I read that Wilma Mankiller mother was white (Irish and Dutch) yet she got to be head. There were white children adopted by Natives long ago and they are considered natives even though they may not have any real native blood. DNA tests cant determine tribal affiliation but it can determine race. Unfortunately there is a prejudice that exists. Its not just against blacks but its more noticeable towards them than whites that try to get on the rolls.

  • @stevennewnan Disclaimer: I wrote to you for two reasons; fist, you were the only one that I could find that was actually talking about Native Americans (I searched 1-3 page) Secondly, youtube doesn't have a general comment box anymore. I wrote this because I didn't want you to think I was picking on you or singling you out for some reason other than to just get my point in here lol.

  • @TheMidnightBell07 I never said DNA shows tribal affiliation(though it would be nice) but race and descent.Wilma Mankiller just died and yes She was half White. But there are many whites claiming native blood for greed as well as some blacks.The US Government made the Dawes the final tribal rolls.The tribes uphold it and the 5 exiled especially denouncing all state recognized bands, tribes, or organizations.

  • @stevennewnan Hey now, that's why I wrote the disclaimer lol. Once again I aid that everything I wrote was purly me and not an attack on anyone. I just choose to piggy back your post because they don't have an open box in here anymore and you seemed to be on topic. I agree that it would be nice if DNA showed tribal affiliation. I do wonder why it's so hard to determind tribal affiliation though.

  • @TheMidnightBell07 Part II They have tests that tell people what part of Africa and what part of Europe but they can't determind tribal affiliation? I think this is very strange because Natives are very diverse just like Europeans, Africans, Asians and Polynesians. I wonder what a person does when he/she finds out that they are 25% or more Native but don't have an affiliation? I think 25% is the standard.

  • @stevennewnan I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU AND IM BLACK. BUT IHAVE meet some mean ass native americans on here. but you cool lol

  • My grandfather was half creek,my cousins grand parents spoke cherokee, and there 279,999,999 other 'black stories' just like it. We opted not to participate in their nations, partly because like you they think that all blacks want hand outs. They conveniently overlook most of the people who get benefits are whites who have a blood quantum of about 1/64th. These same people (1/64ths) are probably (like you) more related to the people to who gave them the blankets with small pox cont...

  • cont...than they are to the cherokees. (too bad the natives miss the irony) We know which peoples did'nt give the natives diseases. Speaking of small pox. Do you really believe that if your people were being poisoned by small pox and you were suffering a 37% mortality rate, that you would not try to survive by any mean necessary even if it meant 'admixing' with a sturdier stock. (which is what happened)

  • @royalljelly i dont get why he asses think that we want hand outs,ppl justwant to know who they are thats it. smh. its 2011.

  • Also I have no "white guilt" so I sleep well at night anyways. America like all nations will fall one day. With the government we have now it's sooner than later. As anyone who really looks at it knows we've had nothing but puppet Presidents since the early 60's Obama being the most recent but the same as W, his Daddy, Clinton, Reagon and onward. Besides all that the Cherokee and Muscogee people voted on the issue with an overwhelming majority not to allow Freedman into the tribe 72% of Cherokee

  • cont...whites ( U.S. Gov't) gave the natives blankets infested with small pox. Having never been ex poxed to small pox, natives were dropping like flies. We (blacks) still bad some immunity to small pox from our time in egypt. the creeks lost 50% of their members the cherokees 37% those respective tribes thought they were going to become extinct. Blacks numbers actually increased during the trail. (We were a superior people because the weak cont...

  • EVERY black person that has a great ancestor from the state has native blood,that would mean that the overwhelming number of blacks in the state have native blood.

    You see the white man insisted the indians have slaves. When the indians where forced off their lands, (trail of tears) cont.

  • cont... amongst us were already thinned out during the tansatlantic slave trade. Creeks and cherokees started mixing their seed with the slaves with the idea of preserving their race, that is why to this day most blacks in the state are admixed with at least one of the tribes, with the overwhelming likelyhood that the admix will be either/and/or creek,cherokee. My family opted not to join the cherokees. (were proud people) I think that the tribes are cont...

  • cont...hypocrits to say the least. The tribes have been co-opted by whites who are still trying to keep blacks down in the state.  In closing let me just say the mill fo the lord grinds slow but exceedingly fine. The tribes who are being used by satan to deny the sons of judah will pay in the end. Have a nice day.

  • Maybe in your mind this happened, but I can tell you the SE Native Americans were just a racist as their white counterparts. It was in their best interest to be as such. A Cherokee who had sex with a slave was given the lash. Don't believe me? Try looking up the court records of the Cherokee Nation before removal. Only the Seminoles had any real love for the African slaves. The whites wouldn't allow it anywhere else. Only in Florida where it was hard to get them.

  • *****A Cherokee who had sex with a slave was given the lash. Don't believe me?*****

    Tell ya what. Walk any random road in Okla. ask any random black that you meet if they have native ancestry; if they say no I give you $10.00 if they say yes you give me $2.00. Fighting the obvious (you can see the admix) would make you a poorer (hopefully wiser) man in short fashion.

    If you believe that men will deny themselves sexual favors from subjugated people's we need to meet. I gotta cont..

  • cont...bridge near brooklyn that I can make you a good deal on.

    An honest skeptic would ask why do so many blacks in Okla. (arkansas too) look as though they have native ancestry and why is the majority admix creek and cherokee? This introspection will lead you right back to my original ..ahem...thesis about what happened on the trail of tears.

    FILTHY LUCRE men will sell their most precious possession for it.--their soul--

  • I gather you have little or no knowledge on the subject. Secondly, blacks were never fully subjugated in the indian nations. While not on the same level as tribal members, they were given much better treatment thant their white counter parts gave them. Also all the people who have indian ancestry and native ancestry can usually prove it. There are very few who can't. When DNA testing was done in the last 3 years it was found those blacks claiming native actually had european DNA and not native.

  • *****Secondly, blacks were never fully subjugated in the indian nations*****

    What does that mean??? They were slaves only on the weekend? Are you saying that because the natives were not as cruel as whites that somehow means that blacks were not 'true slaves' to the natives?

    You speak as someone who has not lived very long, and does not understand the dynamics between men/ women and subjugation that superseed superficial constructs like race, and nation. Or perhaps you like cont...

  • cont..to believe in simple things, (so that you can sleep easy at night) like the noble native who was above "slippin' into the slaves quarters at midnite" whats more important? for a man to  'claim membership in a tribe' or to be able to confront truth and look it square in the eyes. There are roughly 280,000 blacks in Okla. The overwhelming majority are creek and cherokee admixed. That is 280,000 witnesses against your simle belief system. sweet dreams.

  • You mentioned the dna tests that were taken 3yrs. ago that proved most blacks had no native admix. Do you really believe in the integrity of those studies when the results are so easy to skew??? Do you think that a few hollywood hacks are representive of the black experience? Can a few natives speak for the whole of the native populace? I will bet dollars to donuts not one person from Okla. nor arkansas was asked to participate.

  • LMAO! Actually they were as well those taken from all over the united states, central, south america, and the islands. The tribe speaks for it's self. The Freedman aren't an admixture but negroes out right or had no ancestor on any rolls which makes one a nonindian. My family is on earlier rolls here in the east, and my great grandmother who is still alive is a full blood Muscogee, but we're not on any tribal rolls save the 'State" rolls which is basically nothing.

  • It means they weren't for the most part slaves in the true sense but more like what their african ancestors practiced with slavery. Like the 7 year cycle etc. Boo hoo even if they were. My ancestors were slaves to, but that means nothing to me except how not to follow their footsteps and allow it to happen again ever. The government owes me nothing, and I owe it nothing. America was founded on lies and evil since day one. Hell I'm blood kin to half of the founding fathers, but what good is that?

  • @royalljelly well i would of gotten lashed thn:)

  • My MOMs mother has cherokee Indian and her parents was to but I want to get a indian card cause I'm proud to have the blood run throw me. We everyone says they can see the Indian in me which was pass down to me. I like to know how I can be part of a trib that my Grandma came from. But why I can see the future

  • Read the history of the Dawes Commission (allotment) if you want to know the history of blood quantum. The White government came up with bood quantum, not the Cherokees. And freedmen didn't get kicked out of the Nation because they were black, they got kicked out because they couldn't prove heritage (family ties) The cherokee nation currently has thousands of Black/Cherokee Tribal Citizens.

  • Before the dawes commision and BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs - Federal agency to the indians but no OF the indias) we didn't not require blood quantum, to be considered cherokee you had to be, Cherokee, Speak Cherokee, and know the culture. Read a book

  • PrinceDimeXI, my grandmother is a black indian she married my grandfarther he is light brown and also of native american heritage. my family members are all light brown, with a couple of members being darkskinned. so native american and black people can produce light brown, or darkskin offspring.

  • ShyWolf6, so back then when indians and blacks were intimate and had children which resulted in light brown to dark skinned babies... should that baby not be able to follow and do the things of thier native American culture, as well as being proud to be black ? any native american that has a baby with other races, then that baby deserves to able to pratice thier culture period.

  • lmao DID YOU SAY LIGHT BROWN lmao!! sorry but red and black doesn't make LIGHT BROWN lol..

  • i hope you people know that the Cherokee mixed with blacks sometimes while the blacks were kept as slaves by the Cherokee. if anything i consider Native Americans black. My mother is British, Cherokee (my dad is from Nigeria), and slave descended. So i am to. so because if have African blood, even if i am still Cherokee, does that mean i am not Cherokee? see how what i said doesn't make any sense? well that is exactly like what you people are saying.

  • One drop of Cherokee blood makes you Cherokee. Oh yeah in case you missed African blood does not erase your Cherokee blood. Can you please tell me why I am ¼ Cherokee and was born on land stolen from the Cherokee Nation and cannot be a citizen of the Cherokee Nation while congress thinks people with no Cherokee blood should be? Umm, do I have a right to be upset? Do I want land or money from the Cherokee Nation? NO! JUST MY CULTURE THAT WAS STOLEN!

  • Black people are not Cherokee they will never be Cherokee I am not racist or anything but Black people are not Indian and never will be. They came from Africa us Cherokee and othe Indian nations are native to AMERICA.

  • on sum real stuff doe NO BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA IS 100% AFRICAN IM BLACK I CANT EVEN GO BAC OR TRACE ANY SLAVE WE WENT DOWN 2 THE 1700S WITH ARE FAMILY HISTORY NO SLAVES, I am tsalagi,blackfoot, white and black,, IM BLACK LMAO you cant say we will neva be cherokee because we not 100% because we not 100% of anything and we cant even c r african roots cuz dat was tooken away from us and im still cherokee so i say im part cherokee...Most black people have Indian blood down the line i

  • I was talking about original Cheroke herritage.

  • wat dat mean, yo fake waya ass cant even spell cherokee..lmao

    foreal doe wat u mean original chrokee heratage wat dat mean

  • Set em straight ypsilanti

  • got 3 cherokee ancestors my 2 of my great great great grandmothers were full blood Cherokee so thats 3 percent each and my great great grandfather was cherokee on my fathers side so thats 6 percent for great great all together im12%.. BUt i do believe you should prove that your part Cherokee becuz r ancestors alredy den lost so much of the cherokee pop we need cherokee blood in the cherokee nation even if its 1%.. and im blacks dat got cherokee ancestors

  • we are still part cheorkee becuzjus like r ancestors r from africa i got ancestors from europe and america becuz i we got white down that line and blackfoot and tsalagi 2 and i claim all my heratage and my cherokee fam shud accept me as much as i accept dem and its more black people wit indian n dem den white people. And i do believe u shud prove yo heratage 2 live in a cherokee reservation but and 2 get CDIB... BLACK WIT CHEROKEE HERATAGE R STILL PART OF ANIYUNWIYA

  • OK. So what about the Cheokee who has a African/Black ancestor? Especially the ones of Scottish, Irish EU ancestry? Those so called Cherokee have an ancestor from another land. Yet you claim one over the other because of what? Skin or blood preference? S0,that Cherokee who lives on the Rez whose great great grand mother or father was African is considered non Native? Although that persons family lived, worked, and played amongst the Cherokee for generations? Sounds like aWM talking not a NA.

  • if dey got any cherokee blood n dem dey r cherokee, but 2 live among the cherokee nation they must prove it with a 100% cherokee ancestor birth or death certificate dat all im sayin

  • @ShyWolf6 you sound real dumb. all black people didnt come from africa. what if there family started n europe.smdh

  • In the first place,why do you let some GOV. list determine who are and are not Cherokees?That's the reason the gov. does'nt want us to have financial Autonomy so they can threaten us with withdrawing funds if if we do not comply with their wishes.

  • Chad mith is just a white man who is a white supremist.

  • Blacks should have to prove their Cherokee just like the rest of us.

  • Yes. EVERYONE should prove they're Cherokee. Forget the Black blood issue. I am aware of my blood lines from my maternal & paternal grandmothers. 1 problem. Not only were families split during trail of tears. There were issues of sorts within families and for what ever reason they went their separate ways.Some id as white others Black. Just to get work in the City (Atlanta, GA) You get the picture? BIG prob with Census of our mixed race elders taken in Atlanta during the 40's and 50's.

  • as far as i know the laws for acceptance have not changed......But if you feel you are being wronged there is the US governments Agency for Indian affairs,They could assist you.Not all Cherokee went the trail of tears.The eastern band was sent to North Carolina.

  • @lamarridley2 yes we should

  • Not a Corntassle fan either. But really, it's pretty plainly spent out. You either prove heritage from the Dawes Rolls or you don't. It's not a racist at all, although it seems to be portrayed that way by some that have posted here.

  • Even tho i don't like Chad Smith personally

    He didn't choose that we voted on it

  • If we lived in a perfect world things would be different, but we don't and sometimes change comes slow.

  • Comment removed

  • WRONG! Your ancestors must be on the Dawes roll. I'm white too, but am not a Cherokee citizen in the east. I am however on the state recognized tribe rolls,"The Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee Inc." No "benefits" but I can claim, and live my heritage. Wado!

  • So what about the natives who refused to sighn treaties and because of that the government will not acknoledge them as a tribe or native

  • I know of no such tribe that still exists. The Uchi still barely exist and the Lumbee are a multitude of peoples, even they still have state recognition, so I really don't see your point.

  • By what ive seen tribes that are mixed with on drop or have a lot of african blood are not recognized and by what have reaserched if you were mixed black with native in the time of the dawes role you were put on the freedmen rollthis is fact because i know a freind who did a dna test and it said his ancestors belonged to halo group c so why would his anscestors be on the freedmen roll which they were

  • That's not true, his ancestors either considered themselves black or they weren't native at all. Belonging to haplo group c doesn't make one a Native American. I know of people whose ancestors were Muscogee and Black and they were on the Dawes Rolls, and their ancestor was a black male and a Muscogee female after removal. People should stop whining about things that they can't change. You don't see me whining about my ancestors not being on the Dawes, but an earlier one.

  • Also the point i should be making is that there is racism in the native community i know from exsperience

  • me too.but now you got all these blacks claiming Cherokee Heritage that can't prove it,they shouldn't be allowed they ought to have to register just like the rest of us.

  • "me too.but now you got all these blacks claiming Cherokee Heritage that can't prove it,they shouldn't be allowed they ought to have to register just like the rest of us"

    @lamarridley2 you say that as if you think most black people just be making up stories about having Native Blood. you all need to be ashamed of yourselves, all black people don't have blood while most do and that's a fact.

  • I agree with you because it's either you look to black or your hair, i know an example i was at a trading post and they are freindly because of my native features then i take my hat off and they see my tight curls aka nappy hair then their eyes focuse in on it as if to say i cant believe it he looks so native then attitudes change they dont want to talk as much oh well you know what i say sounds like a personal problem to me

  • WRONG! Your ancestors must be on the Dawes roll and you must be a minimum of 1/16 Cherokee.

  • I am a twin. I have NA features. My twin sister is blond with blue eyes.  "RACE"ism ?

  • Some have hypothesized that Haplogroups C and D were brought together to East Asia by a single population that became the first successful modern human colonizers of that region, but at present the distributions of ....

  • This video is stupid. Why do so many people whose ancestors were not listed on the Dawes Rolls as Cherokees insist they are Cherokee Citizens now? It's very disturbing. Anytime I hear freedmen speak about their "entitlements" as "Cherokees" they talk about how they want their benefits and their "free" car tags and how Cherokees don't pay taxes. What? Yeah right, if my company wasn't supposed to be taking taxes out of my paycheck then the federal government owes me a lot of money back.

  • It's not so much they want to be considered full Cherokee, which is rediculous, but to be acknowledged as descendants if proven beyond a reasonable doubt. No one can deny you what you are. Your DNA or whatever is who you are but not what you are. Not until you have lived it passed it on to your children and thanked the creator daily for keeping you amongst your own. Then you should be able to say 'I am '.

    Sgi!

  • To be in a Native American tribe you should have to be Native American.I don't give a rats ass about the rest of it.

  • i agree with you . Now can you define Native American please. This is the ROOT (pardon the pund) of the issue.

  • To be black, brown or red was not an option for you or me at birth. We are born into our race, our clan. You are a "citizen" of a Nation by constitution. Constitutions change, race does not. My blood makes me Cherokee and the Chinese-Chinese. Is it an option for me to be accepted as a Black man if it is in a Constitution? I is my hope that all who seek tribal membership will find success and that this success be based on a Cherokee blood line

  • Are you saying that the Cherokee Nation should ignore the Rolls all together? I understand your point. But the Nation also states 1 drop. If one has knowledge & proof, shouldn't they be allowed in? Just 2 decades ago you had to know your family history , full names of elders as well as blood quantum. That is no more. Yes, some are refused because of black blood & some may abuse knowledge of their ancestry to access monies that are obviously for the needy. Yor acceptance is not a lotto tix.

  • I agree, with one drop you are my brother or sister. No where in the constitution is anyone outcast for other heritage. It only REQUIRES Native American blood. On the rolls Freedmen are noted clearly as non blood members.

  • This video states "admit Blacks into the Cherokee Nation" This is not a club with dues or membership forms. We are a RACE of people, born into one of seven clans as noted by the seven pointed star. The Freed Men were taken in throuh the generosity of members of the Cherokee Nation.  Many of these Freed Men had children with the Cherokee. Those children were/are born into the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation VOTED not Chad Smith. The Nation spoke with this vote.

  • That is not true-there are many many black Cherokees.

    If you do not have a Cherokee ancestor you are not a Cherokee.

  • Being Cherokee is not a question of race, but a question of citizenship. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, when it agreed to allotment also agreed to make their black slaves citizens of the Nation 'as long as the grass grows green'. When they decided that, they were the ones who decided that Cherokee blood didn't matter. Funny now that they change their minds when all the other Indians are pointing fingers at the Cherokees with pale skin...

  • It is known fact that cherokees and african americans had children together. So whats the problem here?

  • For some reason they tried to make it hard to prove NA ancestry for black people. I am black and have family on the Final Dawes Rolls, but on their census it says mulatto. It was dangerous for them so they had to choose a race either white, black, or mulatto.

  • SO what if he won allow them, if they have no cherokee blood then there not cherokee, simple as that.

  • I agree anything less and they call you ward churchill. Blood is Blood and that is the way it should be

  • who ever posted this is dumbass,blacks have had about 100 years to admit their cherokee!plus,if they are cherokee, how the fuck could chad smith be racist!DUMBASS!

  • I know for a fact that Chad Smiths son Chris Smith (who goes to NSU in tahlequah) Hates Blacks and says he gets it from his father. Chris Smith was quoted as say" them damn Niggers just need to go head back to cotton fields and stay there" this is what he said at a NASA (Native American Student Association)meeting. I didnt like what he said and you all shouldnt either!!!!

  • in fact, a lot of blacks in the black community do not want you to admit your NA heritage. Some of them want afo-natives to cover it up and forget about it and just focus on being black. I personally believe that it is very disrespectful to just acknowledge one heritage and to not acknowledge the other.

  • To all the people who say that the Cherokee Nation of OK has said these people aren't Cherokee is incorrect. They just said they do not belong to the Nation of Oklahoma...how hard is that to understand? Cherokee Freedman should be their own group if they do not belong to the Dawes roll that the Cherokee nation of OK goes by. Maybe they should belong to the Nation in Georgia....The Tahlequah Tribe just wants to keep to it's original tribe...what's wrong with that?

  • to assume that all blacks who have cherokee just want to be NA is ignorant. you cannot write about something that you do not know the full history about.

  • I'm glad you think you know me and my history. I live it everyday.My grandma is from Tahlequah, OK. I know the full history and each of the 5 Civilized tribes go by certain rolls and DNA and the rules should be followed. If what I say about the Black Cherokees isn't true then how come they are not calling themselves African Americans like the bi-racial black and whites do? It's not ignorant it's the truth..we have family on Dawes roll, but are having a hard time proving it. But I'm not whining.

  • You are exactly correct. They checked the blood line of the Cherokee Freedman and all the ones who showed bloodline in the Dawes roll was allowed to be a member those who weren't were dismissed. I am Cherokee and cannot trace my blood to Dawes roll and I don't complain about being a member. When blacks are black and white they want to be black, but when they are Cherokee and black they want to be Cherokee...go figure...

  • what if someone finds out they are of cherokee blood are you saying he shouldn't be proud of his ancestry? wouldn't it be nice to know as well as someone knowing he or she is black to embrace who they really are? what is the problem? okay if you are black with no trace of native american then your black and should be proud of it but, if you have native blood why hide it.

  • All I was saying is that blacks don't want to be called white, but it's okay if they want to be called Cherokee. That doesn't make any sense to me. Like Obama, he is as much white as he is black, but they want to call him black and not white. Why? I just think the Freeman need to stick with their Cherokee tribe and not push themselves on the Oklahoma Cherokees. Only the Black Caucus in Congress is making a big deal about this. If they aren't on the Dawes Roll they don't belong to OK...

  • To me, it's not about blood. It's about citizenship. If a bunch of white peopl can do all the horros they did to Black people for centries, and still give us the dignity of citizenship, then it is absolutly shameful that Native Americans would not, when these UnCivilized tribes treated us no better! I'm decended of Seminole Freedmen and I honestly can't figure out why on earth any Black people would even even won't to enroll when we are obviously not welcomed. I say screw it!

    Black Power!

  • While I support your decision to "screw it", if a person of any color is a Cherokee, then their Cherokeeness should be respected by the tribal gov't , & by everyone else. To fail to do so is racism, pure & simple!---Ahuitzotl

  • If they can't see the error in their ways or understand the dishonour of what they have done, then what good is Cherookee heritage? When the crap with the Seminoles was going on, you wouldn't have caught me anywhere NEAR these racist freaks begging for a heritage that is in truth worthless. I fail to see what's worth fighting for. As far as the benefits argument made by some, from the poverty Cherookees live in they aren't getting much, and we can get our own! Sorry hun but I don't it! Honestly.

  • I don't get it! Left that out.

  • It's very sad to see some of the comments made by some people here. My father is nanticoke/lenape and my mother is african american with some blackfoot ancestory. I REFUSE to allow anyone to deny me my heritage, and there are countless thousands of individuals that share similar backgrounds.

    GROW UP!

  • The eal Cherokee register with cherokeeregistry dot com and forget all the politics. Everyone else has some kind of agenda.

  • The notion of a peoplehood, an ethnicity, a tribe, a nation, etc. being based on race was intro'd to we Native peoples by white racist conquerors, the better to divide & conquer us , & keep us under control after the conquest. Smith & his supporters are racists pigs---period. From the Arctic to Cape Horn, we Native peoples have been accepting people of other races as full-fledged compatriots, all though our histories. Long Live the Native Peoples of America in all our colors!!!---Ahuitzotl

  • Chief Chad Smith...that has to be the most un-Naitive American sounding name ever O.O

  • i believe that if you make sure to see if blacks actually have native than you should do the same exact thing to whites. I am definitely NOT racist but i believe that one particular race that has native shouldnt be voted out without checking on the other races. How ironic though that the main race that NA people had problems with (whites) are their representatives.
