God bless you Russell! I'm originally from Wales so I know what youre talking about! The English have done almost the exact same thing to us. I mean, we have some great scientists in Wales and English still call them "stupid", without explanation. Theyre like "well, youre Welsh", like its a bad thing! The people who invade and colonize someones land always seem to do this. The government needs to drop the club and grow a heart.
Excellent lesson. It's a real bummer to see this stuff happen. My grandfather had to go to one of those boarding schools. He was not allowed to speak the Lakota tounge. And they removed our last name. Hope to see better days for us.
If you want to be truly informed on what will help you if you are an indian listen to my videos and ask questions... Thank you... from a mexican native! tarahumara
Well, I am neither Republican nor Democratic because they are one and the same. I vote you in as President! After studying about the Waldenses I see the same persecuting spirit directed at the people of America and particularly the Indians. It is a matter of time before we shall all feel the Dragons hellish fury. Thank you my brother!
Also research the corporate beginnings of the states in America - established by various corporations under The Crown Corporation (The Crown Temple) in London. Such as; The Virginia Company, The Plymouth Company, The London Company, East India Company and many others.
It is the East India Company that bought major shares in the corporate states and first proposed a "United States".

First of all you are totally delusional if you think that North America is your property! This planet does not belong to anyone except God and God can and will remove anyone God sees fit to do. Now stop sending me stupid messages. I don't have time for this crap. i have much better things to do such as advocate for children. I am not interested in your personal agenda.
Well, this is youtube, a public forum. If you make comments people usually respond to them. If you do not want people to respond to your comments youre going to have to stop making comments. And also I dont think anyone knows what youre talking about. Are you saying that god wanted people from Europe to exterminate Native Americans for their land? Sounds like the concept "manifest destiny". People a lot of the time like to use "God" for their evil greedy plans,"god" wanted us to take this land.
It is the unanswerable justification, and since it is culturally specific, the opportunity to "prey" upon people while praying for them.... makes the two words almost seem the same.
Praying would appear to be a form of predation to the extreme.
Stop using the stereotypical "white man" tag to generalize all white people. Your message is getting lost in the generalizations you keep making about white people. It's self evident that your angry and disgusted with the system, particularly with how it is used to abuse your people.
But leave the anger and what feels like hate that you're directing towards white people out of your messages...at least if you sincerely want to reach all people, including whites.
I respect your determination and you energy and I'm "on your side" more than you know or think. But you know very well that without the young Indian people you won't have much success. They need to be deprogrammed and taught the truth.

They have to understand the system of control that is being used to destroy them. I wonder if most of the people on Pine Ridge know about FEMA's NLE 2009? A National Level Terrorist training event which will begin on July 27 and end on or around August the 2nd...
...Tribal police on Pine Ridge will be taking part in this nation wide drill as well as tribal police on other Indian reservations. I've heard that the Pine Ridge tribal police were coerced into taking part in NLE 09, if they refused to take part the government threatened to stop all financial aid to the reservation (Money that is owed to the people, it is not welfare!).
The Tribal police on Pine ridge have been running evacuation drills, cloaked as "Tornado readiness drills." Think FEMA.
My father-in-law was visited about two weeks ago by Tribal police. They knocked on his door and asked him to leave his home in order to take part in the "Tornado readiness drill." he looked up at the sky and then back to the officer and said it was a nice day, he wasn't going anywhere.
The one officer looked to his superior (who was my father's cousin) for a little guidance but all he received in return was, "You can't force him to leave if he doesn't want to." ...
...With that the other officer's shoulders visibly sagged in disappointment and defeat. He was said because he wasn't allowed to exert his power over a fellow Indian...In other words he couldn't physically assault my father and relocate him to a FEMA "emergency center" (Prison camp?).
Make no mistake people, this has nothing to do with the weather. It is happening all across the country in preparation for NLE 09. Our government's drills have a way of "going live", remember 911.
dumb-nut ....russell isnt trying to state this so called america is our property o yours nowhere did he state that i didnt here that and many others didnt either...he is stating our stand here as a people and why theirs so many un Godly treatment that the rest dont see but what we know whats happening to the amer.citizen but..you see and you will say those natives was SURELY RIGHT BECAUSE WE WERE DONE THIS WAY and now all of america are finding our hardships..we are trying to help wake you.wado
polonia i definitly hope you never work around my children. Not with that reasoning, or attitude. First you should learn your history, then maybe, just maybe leave a comment.Then you just have to use Gods name....hmmm, yeah, im sure he's proud of YOU pushing your own agenda.
It was the truth but, it was said with condescension as if he wanted to talk down to the Lakota people. This is wrong and why he got the negative rating. Talking to people who are in the worse condition in the US like idiots is; not right.
Sorry if my tone offended some, but since I've lived on the prairie most of my life, I find it incredible that people are complaining about lousy food in a place where there is abundant life all around. Plant a seed, it will grow. By the way, I read Russell Means' book when it first appeared. Loved it. But, it seems odd for him to complain about USDA food stamps and starchy junk food, while claiming to be a leader of a republic seeking international recognition. What's the explanation?
The government made a statement about the Republic of Lakota", the government said that everything is fine until they break the law.
To me...well...that sounds scary. I'm still going to try to help as best as I can. I heard that they made the community garden (something you were speaking of).
If they do get 'international recognition' I believe this would be the best thing possible. I would search out Japanese businessmen, in Japan they spend a fortune on watermelon and other fruits.
the explanation is to show that we demand freedom and the right to make our own decision without the government trying to bind our Creator Given Will or ''free will'' to govern our freedom and or are you saying no one should standup to the usa gov. and say we are sick of you feeding us bullshit....whats your explanation and without AIM we natives wouldnt have many LITTLE rights that we hae today..but youll see....wado
It seems like you ignored the sarcasm, condescension and the way he was talking down to people(the whole reason why we are having this conversation(you asked why he had a negative rating).
My religion is personal to me. From my experience people like to control and talk down to others by using their knowledge of their religion against people, which is a sick and manipulative form of mistreatment.
Well, what is obvious to some, others are sometimes oblivious to it.
He was talking down to people by saying "So grow your own food, plant gardens", "A dummy can grow vegetables on the plains.", "Get with it."
Everything said was said in a spiteful way, and, it was obvious that he was talking down to people. If he said this about you with condescension and spite wouldnt you feel a little offended?Its not OK to treat people like idiots. Thats why people were giving him a negative rating.
There is some kinda insight: "The Food and Drug Administration." But the answer is, don't eat their crap and don't take their drugs if you believe them to be harmful. The Korporate Kaucasian Kriminals hide behind and utilize the government's limited liability acts. Where in Scripture is limited liability? It used to be that corporations were given a lifespan of 15-20 years for a specific purpose by the English Crown. The US congress perverted the concept in 1851. Chaos is the result.
So grow your own food, plant gardens. Catch rainwater and store it in cisterns. Squash will store all winter as will many other vegetables and roots. Keep goats for milk and meat. No need to complain about the crummy, overpriced corporation rations. A dummy can grow vegetables on the plains. We had more turnip and collard greens than we could eat. We pickled cucumbers and tomatoes...wonderful during the winter...from an 8' x 12' plot of unamended Lakota soil at Omaha. Get with it.
If it were that simple wouldn't you think it would have been done already? I'm pretty sure that has been done many times but, crops die and you heard him, not many people have jobs available to them on the reservation to afford food let alone something as simple as seeds. I will hopefully get to go there and help them build something that will collect rainwater, and, provide seeds for crops. Dont bash the battered, thats not right.
I'm not talking about crops, but family or communal gardens. It's happening all over the country in the wake of the stock and bank swindlers take-over of the US. The native Americans have perpetual hunting, fishing, and travel rights, anyway, all over the North American continent. Some exercise those rights and some don't. The so-called "illegal aliens" go where they want to. The RC church endorses it. BTW, if George Galloway can drive to Gaza with supplies for the Palestinians, then...
many reservation lands have been poisoned through mining and extraction of minerals by companies with no sensitivity to life. Uranium and radiation is still prevelant in the soil.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
TheCZMan, my country is USA and so what if Poland had many allies. What is your point? You also do not know that Poland was formed by people who marched from Italy to escape persecution. A land belongs to no one but God. Those who are appointed its caretakers must constantly prove they are worth being the custodians.America may lose its custodianship because of moral degeneration. Are the native Americans fit to govern? It must be proved to God. Alcohol or drug addiction will disqualify one.
The Native American nation has it's U.S. gov. puppets just like all the other nations ofthe world. Have you learned nothing from the Iraqi and Afghani people? You need to reach out to the other peoples of the world who have been fucked by the U.S. gov. The Mexicans, The Asians, The Blacks, The Middle Eastern, The Hawaiian, The Innuit. Only in Unity can you find justice. Without Unity you will all fade into the past like the sands of time.
Being from Oklahoma and part Indian...my grandfather took me on reservations when I was a child to visit relatives. Since then I have traveled the world and I have seldom seen the poverty I witnessed on those reservations...in the middle of the U.S. A great people with such broken spirits.The Indian people are warning us...listen.
I didnt know that the government purposefully makes the reservation poor. It looks like the government is still practicing genocidal tactics against the reservation. Ive just read that it wasnt legal to own a business there! The government started a program specifically for Indians which is just like WELFARE! People who are on the reservation are forced to go on this type of welfare! This must be stopped. The US government is practicing terrorist actions. People should stop this injustice.
The point here is that everyone on this planet has had their land taken away. Poland has had their entire country stolen many times. But we don't expect a pity party and the world to owe us a living. We move forward. We don't forget, but we understand that our thoughts and actions is what determines our future, not dwelling on the past which will get you NOWHERE. I once owned 4 homes taken from me. I had my only child kidnapped. I let people know but don't expect a pity party. I WORK.
I dont think anyone was talking about how the government gave them a piece of land which was supposed to be theirs forever (on legal binding paper) and then when gold was found the government killed and took almost everything from them,I think he was talking about how the only way to make money is to move out of the reservation because of the red tape of going through three agencies to try to ask permission to start a business only to be not granted permission over and over again.
Meaning, the US is keeping them from having any form of good economy. I dont really agree with you either. If someone were to kidnap my child I wouldnt exactly think "oh, someone stole my child and now i'm just going to get over it". No. If people unjustly started stealing land (stealing children) and murdering people for it you have to fight the thieves or they will take more land (children); anyone would fight back and do anything they can to get their child back(land back).
"Poland has had their entire country stolen many times. But we don't expect a pity party and the world to owe us a living. " You have a strange relationship to the history of your country. Poland got many other countries to fight for them since the napoleonic wars in order to restitute a control over the polish land.
If they have land are`nt they allowed to grow thier one garden? for heathier food,I dont know how the EBT card works in other places but here you can buy what ever food you want,even seeds. PEACE
I dont get this...This is 2009 and people have to go through three agencies to ask permission if they could build something with a high probability of being turned down?
Excellent video!!!! You have hit the nail on the head. Dumb down the population through food. True freedom comes from being able to provide for yourself and your family, and they are trying to take that away from us. Make us dependent on this system they have set up. As if what was working for thousands of years was wrong, and only since the industrial revolution have we discovered a better way. Gods creation is always the better way, no human substitution can replace that. And the consequence!
Canadian taxpayers are paying through the nose for lawsuits that have been going on, and will go on, for many years. Nothing has changed. The Indians despise the whites even more than ever, and the whites are sick of paying for something most of them didn't do, and the lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank.
Gov't in Canada couldn't give a shit about Indians, they - and all the filthy lawyers - just want to make money off them. If they cared one iota, they wouldn't be stealing their children and calling it child protection. They apologize for the residential schools, but they are currently stealing children by the thousands and putting them in abusive foster homes. The Indian leaders are doing nothing to help their people either, you can tell that when you drive through reserves.
The whole problem with the world is that everyone thinks they are entitled to something they didn't work or fight for....Just because you are born in a certain place does not mean the world owes you a damn thing. You must WORK and FIGHT for what you have and the winner takes all. THAT is called the survival of the fittest. You can't survive on pride or tales of your history. It is what you THINK and DO and PLAN that makes your future, not your past.
Let me get this straight, you think that if I killed you for your property it would be a PERFECTLY ok thing for me to do if im the winner of the fight? Thats actually pretty sick in my honest opinion, if everyone were killing people for their property I dont exactly think America or any other country that supports this "fight and kill for others possessions law" I dont think anyone would like to live in a world like that. So, you actually wouldnt mind if someone killed you for your property?
Russell, thank you so much. I have been following all the things going on in the world and have been lead to you. You have made sense of it all. I understand things so much more clearly now. It is like peeling an onion, a new discovery every day.
Keeping the indians asleep through mind control substances and poorly balanced food is the only solution the evil financial powers found to keep the truth from the majority of the citizens who are the real slaves of the system. Another trick is to tell the ones who suffer to make a living: look at the welfare takers who are depending on our jobs. This will take their eyes from the 400 millions given in bonuses by AIG
If any group deserves reparations, it is the Lakotah.
Obama ought to ensure that every Lakotah household has either a Reverse Osmosis water filter or a Berkey gravity water filter so that they won't be poisoned through the water anymore.
If anyone deserves reparations its me because I have to pay welfare to all these people so the government can buy their votes! Im white but my family didnt have anything to do with slavery or Indian wars. I dont owe blacks or Indians anything. We all need to come together to fight for freedom against this illegitimate corrupt government! but Im not paying reparations to those I didnt wrong. leave race and my money out of this.
radon1234567 I must agree. I am tired of others whining while my son, my only child, sits in a state group home, I was jailed, homeless, and totally persecuted 100% more than any other ethnic group. I am blonde, blue eyed, Catholic and Polish. To all others: stop your damn whining and go out and get a job like I did. I got THREE jobs. The world does not owe you a living. I especially don't ! You owe ME.
I mean you OWE them (I am always mixed up when it come to who owes to whom) The ENTIRE LAND. This land belongs to them in the first place. White European Immigrants took it by wiping out entire tribes. Now they are keeping them in reservations where they cannot get proper education and cannot get a "normal" life. The reason? obvious. If they come to be really free and educated they will go build a humane way of life that will mix traditions and modernity
Then this way of life will be so attractive to their current neighbors that they will be interested in getting free from the corporate slavery imposed by the capitalist/financial magnats. You got three jobs because, according to the corporations, you belong to the "consumer" mass and they need to get you |green paper" so that you can consume. You should however suffer to get it so that it looks that it has real value to you while they can print it at wish.
For the natives (indians), the plan is different because if they let them life in the same system as they have been for centuries, they will live on hunting and farming without needing any green paper. That's why there are no banks in the reservations and no businesses. It is to substitute the CONTROL of the tribe by the CONTROL of the corporations. Businesses will give power to the tribal system that could not be destroyed completely. The only solution is mind destruction through alcohol.
That's BS. The Vikings were the first to be in North America. The Mayans were in North America first. Anyway, NO ONE has any entitlement to any lands, ans all humans migrated from some place else. I don't owe anyone anything and offer no apolology to anyone because of my or their race.
That's why you do not want Turkey to join the EU so that Europe remains a Christian Club and because it can say the same thing as the Ottoman Empire ruled countries like Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and parts of Austria. It should then claim ownership of these lands. Same for Spain.
And why shouldn't it remain a Christian club? Do you think it should become a muslim club? It should become a club that is inclusive to ALL, not anyone because of their race or religion. If you live in the past you are condemned to repeat the same mistakes in the future. Start trouble, and trouble will find you. Peace out.
The point here is if you take the land of others and try to wipe them out it is a CRIME that cannot be FORGOTTEN. Muslim Ottomans DID NOT wipe out Europeans. Their rule was a result of a war that was started by the Eastern Roman Empire in the 600 AD. And when they took over they DID NOT destroy any Church or forced people to convert. On the contrary, the Indians were massacred and THEIR land was taken from them and were FORCED to convert to Christianity.
poloniawarrior, dude, are you an idiot? I just read that theres evidence that Native Americans have been on the American continent for 24,000 years or longer and the "Viking age" only started in "793".
"Reparations" doesn't have to be financial, nor does it imply that somebody must lose out. What the Lakotah need are reparations of their RIGHTS that were lost through fraud and betrayal. The Lakotah need reparation of their land in accordance to the treaties that the U.S. government signed.
Such reparations won't take away anything from the besieged white American. Whites and Lakotah have a common domestic enemy that we must join forces against: the Feds and the offshore banking mafia
If we were free from govt, we would thrive. I know the state we live in has been designed, just do not understand why. You say there is no EVIL..... I respectfully disagree.

Thank you, Russell. The link between what goes in our mouths and how our brain functions is key. It seems contradictory- fat, poor people, but I've seen it as well.
Russell is right about the quality of food and obesity. Look at the poor people in your community and I bet that least 60% are overwieght. My family is concidered poor. My wife and I are both overwieght but the thing is we ussually only eat one normal sized meal a day. So whats making us fat? The poor quality food, soda, and lack of exercise. Also wanted to add that most food aid, at least here is 60% junk food, candy, cookies, and cakes, you get some canned goods and a package of meat.
This is terrible. People are too sadistic. I seen murder videos of kids killing drunks just for fun. Imagine what these bankers and Feds get off to....
Love You Man! Warriors Side By Side across a Country Wide We Stride For Freedom and Love. Let it fly like a dove. High above the clouds we like our ancestors stand proud but wise. Noone Can Shut our Eyes!

the explanation is to show that we demand freedom and the right to make our own decision without the government trying to bind our Creator Given Will or ''free will'' to govern our freedom and or are you saying no one should standup to the usa gov. and say we are sick of you feeding us bullshit....whats your explanation and without AIM we natives wouldnt have many LITTLE rights that we hae today..but youll see....wado

It seems like you ignored the sarcasm, condescension and the way he was talking down to people(the whole reason why we are having this conversation(you asked why he had a negative rating).
My religion is personal to me. From my experience people like to control and talk down to others by using their knowledge of their religion against people, which is a sick and manipulative form of mistreatment.
Alisdelvdi 2 years ago
Well, what is obvious to some, others are sometimes oblivious to it.
He was talking down to people by saying "So grow your own food, plant gardens", "A dummy can grow vegetables on the plains.", "Get with it."
Everything said was said in a spiteful way, and, it was obvious that he was talking down to people. If he said this about you with condescension and spite wouldnt you feel a little offended?Its not OK to treat people like idiots. Thats why people were giving him a negative rating.

There is some kinda insight: "The Food and Drug Administration." But the answer is, don't eat their crap and don't take their drugs if you believe them to be harmful. The Korporate Kaucasian Kriminals hide behind and utilize the government's limited liability acts. Where in Scripture is limited liability? It used to be that corporations were given a lifespan of 15-20 years for a specific purpose by the English Crown. The US congress perverted the concept in 1851. Chaos is the result.

So grow your own food, plant gardens. Catch rainwater and store it in cisterns. Squash will store all winter as will many other vegetables and roots. Keep goats for milk and meat. No need to complain about the crummy, overpriced corporation rations. A dummy can grow vegetables on the plains. We had more turnip and collard greens than we could eat. We pickled cucumbers and tomatoes...wonderful during the winter...from an 8' x 12' plot of unamended Lakota soil at Omaha. Get with it.

If it were that simple wouldn't you think it would have been done already? I'm pretty sure that has been done many times but, crops die and you heard him, not many people have jobs available to them on the reservation to afford food let alone something as simple as seeds. I will hopefully get to go there and help them build something that will collect rainwater, and, provide seeds for crops. Dont bash the battered, thats not right.
Alisdelvdi 2 years ago 2
I'm not talking about crops, but family or communal gardens. It's happening all over the country in the wake of the stock and bank swindlers take-over of the US. The native Americans have perpetual hunting, fishing, and travel rights, anyway, all over the North American continent. Some exercise those rights and some don't. The so-called "illegal aliens" go where they want to. The RC church endorses it. BTW, if George Galloway can drive to Gaza with supplies for the Palestinians, then...

TheCZMan, my country is USA and so what if Poland had many allies. What is your point? You also do not know that Poland was formed by people who marched from Italy to escape persecution. A land belongs to no one but God. Those who are appointed its caretakers must constantly prove they are worth being the custodians.America may lose its custodianship because of moral degeneration. Are the native Americans fit to govern? It must be proved to God. Alcohol or drug addiction will disqualify one.

I didnt know that the government purposefully makes the reservation poor. It looks like the government is still practicing genocidal tactics against the reservation. Ive just read that it wasnt legal to own a business there! The government started a program specifically for Indians which is just like WELFARE! People who are on the reservation are forced to go on this type of welfare! This must be stopped. The US government is practicing terrorist actions. People should stop this injustice.

The point here is that everyone on this planet has had their land taken away. Poland has had their entire country stolen many times. But we don't expect a pity party and the world to owe us a living. We move forward. We don't forget, but we understand that our thoughts and actions is what determines our future, not dwelling on the past which will get you NOWHERE. I once owned 4 homes taken from me. I had my only child kidnapped. I let people know but don't expect a pity party. I WORK.

I dont think anyone was talking about how the government gave them a piece of land which was supposed to be theirs forever (on legal binding paper) and then when gold was found the government killed and took almost everything from them,I think he was talking about how the only way to make money is to move out of the reservation because of the red tape of going through three agencies to try to ask permission to start a business only to be not granted permission over and over again.
Destructoro14 2 years ago 2
Meaning, the US is keeping them from having any form of good economy. I dont really agree with you either. If someone were to kidnap my child I wouldnt exactly think "oh, someone stole my child and now i'm just going to get over it". No. If people unjustly started stealing land (stealing children) and murdering people for it you have to fight the thieves or they will take more land (children); anyone would fight back and do anything they can to get their child back(land back).
Destructoro14 2 years ago
"Poland has had their entire country stolen many times. But we don't expect a pity party and the world to owe us a living. " You have a strange relationship to the history of your country. Poland got many other countries to fight for them since the napoleonic wars in order to restitute a control over the polish land.

True freedom comes from being able to provide for yourself and your family, and they are trying to take that away from us. Make us dependent on this system they have set up. As if what was working for thousands of years was wrong, and only since the industrial revolution have we discovered a better way. Gods creation is always the better way, no human substitution can replace that. And the consequence!

Canadian taxpayers are paying through the nose for lawsuits that have been going on, and will go on, for many years. Nothing has changed. The Indians despise the whites even more than ever, and the whites are sick of paying for something most of them didn't do, and the lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Gov't in Canada couldn't give a shit about Indians, they - and all the filthy lawyers - just want to make money off them. If they cared one iota, they wouldn't be stealing their children and calling it child protection. They apologize for the residential schools, but they are currently stealing children by the thousands and putting them in abusive foster homes. The Indian leaders are doing nothing to help their people either, you can tell that when you drive through reserves.

The whole problem with the world is that everyone thinks they are entitled to something they didn't work or fight for....Just because you are born in a certain place does not mean the world owes you a damn thing. You must WORK and FIGHT for what you have and the winner takes all. THAT is called the survival of the fittest. You can't survive on pride or tales of your history. It is what you THINK and DO and PLAN that makes your future, not your past.

Thats actually pretty sick in my honest opinion, if everyone were killing people for their property I dont exactly think America or any other country that supports this "fight and kill for others possessions law" I dont think anyone would like to live in a world like that. So, you actually wouldnt mind if someone killed you for your property?

Keeping the indians asleep through mind control substances and poorly balanced food is the only solution the evil financial powers found to keep the truth from the majority of the citizens who are the real slaves of the system. Another trick is to tell the ones who suffer to make a living: look at the welfare takers who are depending on our jobs. This will take their eyes from the 400 millions given in bonuses by AIG

They OWE you the ENTIRE LAND !!!!!
qursan67 2 years ago
I mean you OWE them (I am always mixed up when it come to who owes to whom) The ENTIRE LAND. This land belongs to them in the first place. White European Immigrants took it by wiping out entire tribes. Now they are keeping them in reservations where they cannot get proper education and cannot get a "normal" life. The reason? obvious. If they come to be really free and educated they will go build a humane way of life that will mix traditions and modernity
qursan67 2 years ago
Then this way of life will be so attractive to their current neighbors that they will be interested in getting free from the corporate slavery imposed by the capitalist/financial magnats. You got three jobs because, according to the corporations, you belong to the "consumer" mass and they need to get you |green paper" so that you can consume. You should however suffer to get it so that it looks that it has real value to you while they can print it at wish.
qursan67 2 years ago
For the natives (indians), the plan is different because if they let them life in the same system as they have been for centuries, they will live on hunting and farming without needing any green paper. That's why there are no banks in the reservations and no businesses. It is to substitute the CONTROL of the tribe by the CONTROL of the corporations. Businesses will give power to the tribal system that could not be destroyed completely. The only solution is mind destruction through alcohol.
qursan67 2 years ago
That's BS. The Vikings were the first to be in North America. The Mayans were in North America first. Anyway, NO ONE has any entitlement to any lands, ans all humans migrated from some place else. I don't owe anyone anything and offer no apolology to anyone because of my or their race.
poloniawarrior 2 years ago
That's why you do not want Turkey to join the EU so that Europe remains a Christian Club and because it can say the same thing as the Ottoman Empire ruled countries like Hungary, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and parts of Austria. It should then claim ownership of these lands. Same for Spain.
qursan67 2 years ago
And why shouldn't it remain a Christian club? Do you think it should become a muslim club? It should become a club that is inclusive to ALL, not anyone because of their race or religion. If you live in the past you are condemned to repeat the same mistakes in the future. Start trouble, and trouble will find you. Peace out.
childrescuer 2 years ago
The point here is if you take the land of others and try to wipe them out it is a CRIME that cannot be FORGOTTEN. Muslim Ottomans DID NOT wipe out Europeans. Their rule was a result of a war that was started by the Eastern Roman Empire in the 600 AD. And when they took over they DID NOT destroy any Church or forced people to convert. On the contrary, the Indians were massacred and THEIR land was taken from them and were FORCED to convert to Christianity.

"Reparations" doesn't have to be financial, nor does it imply that somebody must lose out. What the Lakotah need are reparations of their RIGHTS that were lost through fraud and betrayal. The Lakotah need reparation of their land in accordance to the treaties that the U.S. government signed.
Such reparations won't take away anything from the besieged white American. Whites and Lakotah have a common domestic enemy that we must join forces against: the Feds and the offshore banking mafia

My wife and I are both overwieght but the thing is we ussually only eat one normal sized meal a day. So whats making us fat? The poor quality food, soda, and lack of exercise. Also wanted to add that most food aid, at least here is 60% junk food, candy, cookies, and cakes, you get some canned goods and a package of meat.
