Interview with a Metis: a Native Rights Rant

[Adam13115511]

Fucking chug

[metisman100]

your not metis just becaus you part white and part native you must have a ancestor who received a land grant or a scrip grant under the Manitoba Act or the Dominion Lands Act, or who was recognized as a Métis in other government, church or community records.

[metisman100]

your not metis just becaus you part white and part native. “Métis means a person who self-identifies as a Métis, is distinct from other aboriginal peoples, is of historic Métis Nation ancestry, and is accepted by the Métis Nation.” you must have Historical Proof: refers to evidence of an ancestor who received a land grant or a scrip grant under the Manitoba Act or the Dominion Lands Act, or who was recognized as a Métis in other government, church or community records.

[SADDLEBACK77]

half breed come over to my rez.! he likes the white in him your not native sell out all about money

[icatchrye]

Nice Harry Potter poster, fag.

[BLH1509]

Obviously they worked on the questions beforehand. The choice of words this boy uses really say alot about himself. His patronizing "I don't mean to..." I believe he should take advantage of the education he talks of. There are reasons behind all he sees. Poor lost soul. Hope whoever was behind the camera was worthwhile. If this is a snap shot of our future children's views than we are in trouble. We are all at risk of turning into little white men. You two should be ashamed of yourselves!

Cree/Scottish&German here

I totally agree with this guy. everywhere i go on this island i find that simply because my blood is too diluted i am denied liberties that the aboriginal population has. I have to pay 1000 dollars to set up a venue at the inner harbour because of my skin pigment. the whole idea of native benefits is racist and divisive. Gor those of you that disagree, okay, im part scottish we know all about oppression why dont we demand special privelages? think about it...

[WarrivarNeo]

*For* wish there was an edit function for these things.

[TheSarahRah]

Native/white here.

Some fairly good points... I definitely agree that many natives need to start fighting for themselves and compromising with the cards that have been dealt... whites may not have belonged here in the beginning but they've been here for generations and that can't change. More natives need to push for what they want rather than internalizing the stresses and making wrecks of themselves and others. Doesn't have to mean working for society.

[Endurem]

I recommend you take advantage of the ''education factor'' you spoke of!!!

[GWARCUM]

I grew up next to a reserve , my uncle owns a bar next to a reserve ,my cousin is a RCMP next to the same reserve Saskatchewan ,.Its no different than what he's saying , I could right a book on the stupidity I have seen.

[icatchrye]

"Right that book"? You can't even write a sentence, genius.

[ogitchita]

this kid makes some good points but u can see he has a chip on his shoulder about something

[poy41]

well said Sir.

[othellobloke]

You're an out of touch loser. If you had any pride, you'd say 'my people' instead of 'these people'.

You're doing nothing with this misguided immature video - you could have spent the time highlighting current day injustices and how they relate to historical injustices, but my guess is you've no comprehension - let alone the intelligence.

To your sad lil whitechick with the mock innocence in the video... you're the type of redneck that embodies everything bad about Canada

[elfzilla]

Did you even watch the video all the way through? He is discussing what's going on in a reserve nearby, he's not generalizing all of them.

Not even the French are as butthurt as some Natives in Canada. Eventually the Canadian government is going to get sick of all the dependant natives sucking the government's dried up teat and will tell them to get on with their lives. Heaven forbid that there is someone who IS METIS thinks that it has gone too far as well instead of always flauting his race.

[othellobloke]

I'd love to put you in front of a view people from some of the reserves in Kenora. I doubt you'd spew your bigoted and racist garbage for very long.

[elfzilla]

Please elaborate as to what I have said is racist. I guess in your magical little world, opinion and fact equals racism.

Aren't you being hypocritical when you cry "RACISM, RACISM!" and yet you do not hesitate to call white people rednecks? Racism goes both ways, friends. :)

[othellobloke]

Scroll down to your comment regarding big girls panties. If you cannot see what's bigoted and racist about that, then you need to come and live in a few of the communities around this area.  You don't deserve to be Canadian.

[elfzilla]

Whine-1-1? Hi. I have someone here who can't stand the fact that there are other people with a different opinion then him. Mmmhmm. Will you please send the WAAAAAAH-mbulance over as soon as possible?

[WarrivarNeo]

ROFL XD priceless

[WarrivarNeo]

When the hell is that W-AAAAAHmbulance getting here?

[icatchrye]

W-aaahmulance was funny five years ago. Failzzzzz.

[GWARCUM]

Typical American with nothing Inteligent to say!

[icatchrye]

Pipe down, hillbilly.

[GWARCUM]

LOL...Your mom said to shut the door when you leave the trailer.

[SawdustProductions]

Well, sorry that that the truth hurts. I'm not saying your opinion's wrong, but I've shown you mine, and it's not changing, Princess.

And as for the "redneck" comment, racism goes both ways, pal. You keep that mindset, you're just as guilty as those who call the Natives wagon burners or the Black people the N word.

And maybe, just maybe, the little pride I once had was burned away by seeing just how pathetic and dependant the Native people in Canada have become. Whaddya say about that?

[othellobloke]

You're a sellout - it's as simple as that. No person with any integrity or common sense would ever lose pride in their race because of the sad actions of a few.

Your redneck blood is by far overshadowing your meagre native blood and it shows dude.

If you weren't such a sellout (mingling and socialising with whites so much) and knew anything or bothered to study in depth, you'd know something about the conditions that keep natives on a permanent lower social and economic scale.

[othellobloke]

Forgot to mention... your immature girlfriend's loaded questions aren't fooling anyone.

Racism goes both ways? Nothing was done to cause native racism towards non-natives. The same isn't true vice-versa.

What you seem to miss is that for Canada's non-native population, it is seen as 'us and them'. I would NEVER side with Canadians over Native issues. You should be ashamed for siding with the colonisers.

You should team up with that bastard Gary Mchale. You three would get along famously.

[icatchrye]

Nobody cares about your pride, stupid creature. You're obviously a mindless puppet for fat irish girls who want to punish men via making them make humiliating videos of themselves. Don't worry, you're insignificant and apparently mildly retarded.

[elliewilbur]

You're disgusting....i dont even think you can even call yourself native..scrub all you want your skin is still going to be brown!!! that's horrible that you generalize your own race your own grandmother you a a sad sad excuse is what you are...go fuck yourself you fucking hipocrite!

[SawdustProductions]

How am I hypocritical? I work for a living, rather than sitting on my ass, whining about how "horrible" I've got it. I don't deny that my skin is the color it is, but the facts are what they are, and this is MY OPINION. You don't like it, then you shouldn't have watched this. Read the description, dumbass.

[elfzilla]

Way to be dramatic.

Heaven forbid that he thinks "The Healing" should end.

The Native American/Canadian culture is dead and it's time to stop crying about it. You will never live off the land or live in wigwams again. Boohoo! Time to put on your big girl panties and deal with it and live a fufilling life concentrating on the gifts that you have as compared to something THAT WASN'T EVEN DONE TO YOU PERSONALLY.
