Obama: U.S. Must Reverse Course With Indians

[markaguilablanca]

You all talk jus as a white man an are equally quilty of "say one thing an do annother, all treaties are all the same an its high time that the indians take over All the lands that at this time the lease is up an the rent is due" You cannot pay the rent so you must be as a wet back an sent back to europe to your original home you government derilicks. All of you never got your papers to live here approved by our indian nations an if you cannot delivery your green cards then you have to leave.

[ebeneezzer]

Were the "natives" illegal immigrants too when they crossed the Bering Straight and killed the original inhabitants of North America?

[TheTechnoa]

talk is cheap....change now.a whole bunch of people are living on the streets!the American dream needs to turn into an American reality!it is nice to dream.but not to the point that it disillusionize everyone!

[420ZombieKilla]

@Newspeakgeneration ur a fucking idiot we didn't need houses and the reservations actually have FORESTS something u probally haven't seen for long time all the white mans houses and buildings are destroying the land and on my reserve there aren't bums lying infort of liqoir store just like the millions in american and canada today

Fuck you u fucking idoit

[aducimeH]

What have happened since this speach, Obama? Oh...nothing, what a surprise!

[88bluebirds]

wtf i didnt know any of this. Why are natives poor? wasnt they given any money? fuck obama fuck slavery america needs a native american president

[AutomatikZ187]

[maju786]

Fuck white americans look what they did to those ppl.

[darthroeluz]

@maju786

o every white american nowadays did this to them

[Newspeakgeneration]

@maju786 lol and look how they act like now.. don't talk unless you live by an indian reservation.. or as i call it, a fucking dump. The whites build them houses and they trash the fuck out of it. They have serious issues with alcohol and they go to the bars to start shit in almost every border town off their reservations. They accept US Federal checks yet they claim they want their own laws and want to be their own sovereign nation.

Fuck indians.

[romero2597]

@Newspeakgeneration FUCK YOU!!!

[brunettechocha]

I can't wait for this fag to leave the White House and go back to his "church". The Indians? The nation is going down the drain and we are talking about the Indians? Look, FUCK him and those inept Indians. They have their women and children living in cardboard huts while they are all day drunk; please, even Mexicans with no education who got here yesterday are more productive than those Indians who are no different than the gypsies in Europe (who just got kicked out of France). Fuck you Obama.

[jimitl5]

@brunettechocha The Native Americans know all about illegal immigrants. In their time they were know as The White Man. Our ancestors were illegal immigrants in a sense. We took land by hook and by crook, we engaged in genocide to get what we wanted and it was all justified under what we called Manifest Destiny. Too bad the conservatives are just too stupid to understand all this. This was a shameful period in our history and nothing to be proud of.

[hint0122]

last time I checked, everyone has taken land from someone else. 

[ericlight6244]

What is the ameican dream? stealing? lying? slavery? Yeah the american dream is great.

What did the Indians do that was so bad? Harvested? Hunted? Farmed? Free health care for their civilization? Living life. Not trying to kill the earth. Yeah their monsters.

[LainDawg26Bubblez]

@ericlight6244 rite, hang your people in town square,muitalate your poeple on the street, beat your women, NOW WHO IS MONSTERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ericlight6244]

@LainDawg26Bubblez

there were no streets nor town squares back then dumbass

[ebeneezzer]

Enslaved each other. Waged war on rival tribes. Hunted animals into near extintion. Stampeded Buffalo's off cliffs and cherry picked bits out of them. Engaged in cannibalism.

But apart from that they were happy clappy enviromentalists who played patty cake with each other and skipped through the fields until evil whitey showed up.

[ericlight6244]

@ebeneezzer people still do that dumbass, no matter wat time we r n there will still be people like that but wat i am tryin to say is that earth is being broke down right now because of greed. you never have enough. i love the indian time because they didnt make a huge population and have an order of power. the indians im talking about didnt do that kinda shit so appearently u and me have completely different state of minds and now im thinkin is that wat u would do if u were an indian?

[ericlight6244]

@ebeneezzer in every kind of race there are bad ones. you dumbass should know that. i am NATIVE AMERICAN and i know wat I would do but i think u would be the one to run the buffalo's off cliffs. Oh Yeah i would never do that cause it would ruin the hide, you really dont know anything do u?

[ebeneezzer]

No. The Kennewick Man was a NATIVE AMERICAN and he and his people were wiped out by the Aboriginals who crossed the Bering Straight.

[ericlight6244]

@ebeneezzer what does that have to do with anything

[rambo9792]

hey indians want to come to america too...thats why your country is soo developed...fuck you obama...osama

[billtheman100]

sure.has it happened?

[april231953]

President Walking Eagle speaks with forked tongue. ug

[OrionArmyAngel]

How can somebody have a good future without reversing time?

[mariotttttttt]

when he was saying about how we lost our land ansd stuff i was like "please dont remind me"

[corruptiongovernment]

That's what they told us in elementary school, so we still believe it! America taught us the truth about Indians and how we share Thanksgiving with them. Those Japanese bombed us so we saved the world from Nazis! We're the best! Go America! Bomb Iran, poo poo haha I am a dumb dumb from USA bitches! Fuck you nigger faggot I'll kick your ass because I'm American let's go to McDonalds and gorge ourselves on cruelty and eat nutrient void foods that support cruelty, go America!

[WhiteStarWoman]

Blah, blah, blah, and to think I voted for this guy:( Let's see some of that "transparancy" of Govt. in the BIA!!! Lip service isn't doing it.

[nonameposter]

Obama is 10000 times better than Bush. You fucking Americans vote for the next war criminal and then will start complaing when their policys (difference between rich/poor, war...) fail...

[april231953]

@nonameposter His policies aren't failing, they are the policies of Cloward and Piven, designed to bring down the USA and instill a socialist govt. Nomatter what they do to damage the country, we are taking it back and restoring the finest country God ever gave to mankind. Why else does all the best people want to come here? eklsese

[goodall77]

He lies and will still lie and will do nothing for you vote them all out.

[SarahRosehawk]

It isn't a "Fan Club" You go to one of the Plains Rezs' sometime..go ahead.. spend the winter on ANY Plains Rez. ( no, you can't bring money, or a car, or warm clothes) You must wait for the Church or Govt. to "Let you have some"...Enjoy yourself buddie

[SarahRosehawk]

Oby, as usual for politicians is full of it. Lots' of noise, no action. He practiced this on Reservation "Campaign" trail..WHoooo Boy!

His Nose is going to grow!

[SarahRosehawk]

and What Planet are You on?

[SarahRosehawk]

Yup..less than 1 month later he let the IRS Seize 20% of Crow Creek Rez Land. Cheyenne River Rez still has water Plant down ( 10,000+ electric poles down) Pine Ridge Suicide rate is 800% more than natnl. ave.

NOTHING has been done for 99% of Rezs'. Zero for Disaster Relief!! on Plains Rezs'

Cheap Talk!

[beone011]

@SarahRosehawk Obama and democrat and republican career POLITICIANS only care about Illegal Mexicans who come to America and they can get drivers licenses like in new mexico then they can vote in a politician that changes laws in their favor. 12 million illegals stealing jobs=12 million Americans unemployed. Obama and career Politicains do not give a damn about Native Americans! Get involved and VOTE, Get informed and act then native Americans will be Heard. Devided we fail-

[josgaleldo]

@beone011 .i don't know who you are but . yes we come to U.S.A. to work man work 4 better life.

i hope you never going to other contry or your son's and i'm a MEXICAN AMERICAN.

[flargensnarf]

i hope the guy who made this video new that wuz during fort hood speech!!

[zavi13]

attorneysdestroy is an idiot, why he's posting anti-semitic comments on a video about native american issues is anybody's guess. My opinion is that he's simply a shit-for-brains racist!

[Tonyo1221]

your clearly hillarious - does your mommy know your posting comments on youtube again . . .

[Yoetah]

Our president points out the conditions in which Americans Indians live. Words full of promises but as usual no meat. The only justice that can be done is to return what was initially theirs and quit

helping by not interfering.

Andrew Jackson's administration was responsible for the slaughter of American Native Indians for gold! That's only part of the hell that the "good helpful government" is responsible for.

And, where's Geronimo' skull. How about returning it?

H

[ogloosh]

That comment made no sense.

One can not be made an honorary black man can they?

[MikePresents2]

If obama lived by his word, he would get the federal government out of EVERYONE'S business.

[ogloosh]

You do realize it is an ethnicity and not some sort of super cool club right? "Invite people to join your tribe". Why? They have no history in it, they are from a different culture, and they don't know anything about Indian ways of life.

After hundreds of years of slaughter and exploitation, it should make sense they don't want a bunch of Irish Catholics living on there land.

[Greg78X]

NA ia what 1% of the population in the US?

[bigdogsdontbark]

We gave them casinos. damn, they are making a killing

[doc7474]

Obama is at least a good speaker.

[bizskithead]

that is because he reads from teleprompters

[ogloosh]

You do realize ever speech in history was written on a piece of paper or on a teleprompter in front of the person speaking, right?

Obama is a good speaker, just because he is not memorizing this shit does not take away the fact that he is charismatic. Disagree with him all you want, but give credit were credit is due.

[GemDrake]

Reversing course with natives? Like what? Giving the land back you took from them? No I didn't think so, that's not even a feasible option anymore.

All I hear is talk and no action, how about you stfu and just provide them affordable housing, electricity, and employment?

Shelter and stable income should be every Americans' right.If we are so "civilized" and "humanitarian". If it isn't I guess we're not the greatest country on the earth are we now?

[knowprose]

Shouldn't this be labeled 'Obama: U.S. Must Reverse Course With Native Americans'? C'mon.

[burtamax1]

Shouldn't Obama be more worried about his Population Control Healthcare Bill than giving the Indians more Special Treatment?

[geekbassist]

he isnt promising anything. most of his words are negative things about USA and he just sounds like he's rallying for all the anti-european americans to rally with him

[Hartman0821]

Native americans used to be Indians before liberals thought it was wrong. It was totally wrong, slang from columbus's day. Who cares though right? Well if no one cared we'd all still say that they were Indians! Some people care and those that due want more done in the same direction. Why does Obama care? Tell me why it matters. If helping Americans out is wrong because there not white, black, democrats or republican than how do you justify progress of any kind.

[monicapttrsn]

Relax folks. But don't relax. God's wrath is here upon this nation because of five known reasons revealed to me. One of them is the mistreatment of the Native Americans. Now you can argue all day who's at fault, and the guilty surely will argue they are not guilty. But relax - God's eyes have seen it all, and His justice is here on their behalf, regardless of what we think.

[ogloosh]

Indian reservations are located on the most useless pieces of land in the country. It is hard to have an economy when all you own is sand and some rocks.

[ogloosh]

Couple hundred years too late...

But that aside, the fact that Indian nations are essentially third world countries in the middle of the richest nation on earth is a shame to mankind.

[ibrake4rappers]

another one from obamas karl marx playbook

[Nephronial]

Are you talking about Obama, or Rush Limbaugh?

[Nephronial]

?

"JewWreckNations"?

Idiot.

[whatyathinknow]

Obama is a RACIST! He is a RACE BAITER who defines everything according to color! He wants nothing more than to have us figthing among ourselves! He is an enemy to freedom and free thought! He is trying to introduce the new dark ages! He would love to have us live in the past and dwell there while he destroys the future for freedom.

[Nephronial]

Ok. Questions:

-What in this speech qualifies as "race baiting"?

-How exactly does a half black/white person even become racist or rationalize a racist perspective?

-Why does he want us fighting amongst ourselves exactly?

-In what way is he an enemy to freedom?

-How is he trying to introduce the new dark ages, and WHY?

Explain these assertions, 'cuz, honestly, it all sounds like irrational, crazed gibberish. But I'm sure you have sound rationale behind all this...please enlighten us all.

[whatyathinknow]

Ok Answers:

Race baiting is pitting one race against another.He is doing that by implying 'the other guys fucked you over 500 yrs ago and I'm gonna fix it mentality', meaning whitey. He did the same thing for illegal latinos but at least he threw them a party in the white house, but there a larger voting mass.

How can a maloto be racist? With BO it's easy. He'll have one side of your heritage hating the other. One side killing it's own, like in Chicago, and the other feeling guilty bout it

[whatyathinknow]

Why does he want us fighting? We easier to give health care to when all the little people do is fight. Look at the comments on here and see for yourself.

Enemy to freedom? He has already tried to ban a news agency, one of the five white house core. Not to mention not giving up access to his personal records. He is a practicioner of control, not freedom.

[whatyathinknow]

Dark Ages? Indebting a people generations into the future in an already collapsing economy is introducing their children to poverty, while giving the people with money a 'bail out;.Introducing and practicing abortion in ' developing countrys' (thats what they called this land when the indians lived here) will introduce a world wide genocide of death! Spreading sorrow and breast cancer all across the globe.Why ask why? Don't worry BO is giving cash for klunker lives and abortion for the rest!

[lancecowboy]

You are confusing one president with the other. What Bush/Cheney/Rumsfled did, is typical of what other presidents did to the Native Americans for a couple hundred years. What President Obama is doing, is what should have been done from the beginning, but there were too many racists and too much hatred, so even well-meaning presidents could do nothing. But the times have changed, and the majority of people want to do the right thing for everyone, not just those who yell and scream the loudest.

[whatyathinknow]

The indians here had war paint long before the white men came! They raided , burned and raped villages for control of this land among themselves long before white men came here! GET REAL! Do you really think this would be the country it is or was made to be if indians still had it? They were stealing the land from each other in many cases and killing and scalping long before white men civilized this land! No one EVER owned this land!

[Nephronial]

?

Again, dude, you're not making sense. Some Indians waged inter-tribal war, but the fact is that, among any hunter-gatherers full-fledged war is very rare.

Even if some Indians did do all that stuff, how does that justify things like the Trail of Tears, Smallpox blankets, and genocide? Short answer: it does not.

Regardless of what N. America would have been like if the Indians still controlled it, how is that justification for unethical behavior.

Last point: do you own your house/land?

[ogloosh]

Genocide is genocide no matter what way you spin it. If I kicked you out of your house, raped your wife, and gave your child smallpox, would it be okay because I thought you were an asshole anyway?

[4evermeXY]

Finally, after 200 yrs of white rule; the first Black President of the USA has had the courage to accept the errors,crimes and shameless acts of previous white administrations commited against us (the first,and rightful owners of this land called America!)

[qbslug]

when two groups want the same land and they don't know how to share they fight for it. this has been going on since the dawn of man and in america the europeans happened to win. Indians also have blood on their hands.

the natives didn't have access to electricity and plumbing and casinos so why should the government provide them.

[lancecowboy]

So you are saying it's okay to do it in America, but not okay in South Africa's apartheid. Gee, your comment is so un-American that it's hard to decide where to begin. It is hypocrisy and out right barbaric, belonging to the Middle Ages, perhaps.

What you said, justifies every terrorist who kill to get what they want, from Palestinians to Israelis, from Basque separatists to every suicide bomber.

You may want to re-think your logic.

[qbslug]

I have thought about this a lot and so have others and the conclusion is that morality is subjective or relative depending on the person's beliefs needs and wants.

what you call barbaric another will consider survival. its just human nature

[lancecowboy]

It is barbaric when one nation uses force to secure what it wants from others. Civilizations use cooperation and dialog. There are times when two groups come to a stalemate and no dialog is possible. That's why the United Nation and other international organizations are created. Violence is the last resort of barbarism. There may be times when this is needed, like against Hitler in World War Two, or against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. To use violence as the first recourse is barbaric.

[jabberwocky1969]

just ship in more firewater.

[iknewitalready]

No more Segregation.

[lenny380]

Putting down good Americans again Mr. President?. Please give us a bigger guilt trip Mr. President. I am not worthy any longer. I think their should be a casino in every city - run by real indians.

[leokills]

Awesome!

[you1x2007]

Not every tribe has & continue to be stolen- from by this country

Ironically, US turned on the Indians is the same way it is turning on it's own. Welcome to the New South's Capital Communism, teabaggers. Even yr pol party w/Communist Red colors. Capital Communism is Big Banks get to fail, fail upward, return nothing, and you pay-always.

Or, did you forget that the Civil War was fought when the South wanted to enslave WHITE ppl & the North wasn't going for it.

[djmanley27]

What the hell are you ranting about?

[PatRogers69]

what idiot at apnews wrote the title

[MikePresents2]

obama's an ass.

Don't take his bait.

[Juntahh]

didnt america fall apart living its dream?

america has screwed everyone, including ourselves.

[rainiertx]

Has this guy even been to a reservation? This is all nonsense! Here's something he failed to mention. One of the tribes I grew up by had a whole new neighborhood bult by the federal gov't for them to live in. They turned them the houses into chicken coops. They are given a car every 2 - 3 years so the new cadillac they had goes up on blocks. They burned their own livelihood to the ground because they didn't like the white tourists who came to spend money. Poor Indians? Kiss off Obama.

[dirtypornflick]

say what you will about him at least he's trying to fix this putrid mess that is america

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

what is Obama doing?

THEY HAVE THE FUCKING CASINOS, THEY LIVE OFF THAT FOR FREE.

What about Mexico and Aztecs and Mayans?

What about the people in Central and South America?

The Indians here do well.

[ericlight6244]

@TheLiberalssuckdick

they dont have shit, their all fuckin dead, your a fuckin hypocrite, do you have anything else to do but insulting the past, so shut the fuck up and live your future nobodys fuckin perfect, Jesus Fuckin Christ dude grow up, jackoff or somethin

[Just2pisUoff]

We'll see what happens.

[gorojo1]

At least the Prez is finally addressing this issue, unlike his last 43 predecessors.

His first act should be to outlaw Columbus

Day forever.

Why do we have our school children celebrate this crime again humanity?

Some say it is because of its "historical significance"?

Significant to who? Europeans?

Certainly not Natives.

Nor Asian and African Americans who were exploited as a result.

It is no different than flying a Confederate flag over our Capital or glorifying Pol Pot or Hitler.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

gorojo1 first act that needs to be done is outlaw people from Kenya to even be in the USA.

[urbanprophet777]

Yeah Obama is very big headed,think he can make up for all the evil Usa did and still do,and will continue whit.Funny that he holds this speech,whit his troops are in Afghanistan,hmm..hmm,ye he is smooth isent he,and very big headed.

[urbanprophet777]

are you gonna give back Usa to indians or resurect 100 million natives>good luck reverse that

[TylerNull]

As long as Indians remain tribal isolationists, they will continue to suffer the consequences. Western civilization is simply superior, by any and all measures.

Notably, all of the most infamous treacheries and betrayals of Indian treaties by the federal government were done under president Jackson -- a Democrat.

[urbanprophet777]

Ron Paul for President!!!

God Bless,the natives.

[HK379]

Hahaha This is so funny .. Reversing course with Indians ???

You know were talking about around 100 milion native Americans killed ...

how is he going to reverce that ...

they dont even talk about reparations couse they know you cant pay them , they are so manny ...

and now mr. "Look at me Im Black , Im Diferent " comes along  , and thats some how a good thing for the Natives ? I Dont get it ???

what is he talking about .. he cant posibly make up for al, the stuff.

[2xtream]

The only thing Historic about this Obama, is your attempt to take away everyone's sovereignty and place them under the control of this Very Corrupt Government.

There is an easy test to know when Obama is LYING! It's when his lips are moving.

Barry Soetoro a.k.a. Obama = One Huge FAILURE !!

[jqjacobs]

Reconciliation with a bloody past history is far overdue in the United States.

What actions will follow these words?

Will any treaties be honored?

Will any stolen lands be returned?

[lancecowboy]

To all the angry trolls on both side of the argument, it is not about who has done what to whom in the last couple centuries. It is what President Obama said, acknowledging what oneSELF has done to others in the past, in preparation to correct it, and do something different in the future. Nobody has clean hands in the old days of might makes right.

Few survived without fighting a war or two. Past blood shed does not justify future feuds. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

[truthisaliar2]

The American dream ? How about a little American history . In three words , Genocide , Slavery , Jesus

[rollsthepaul]

The USA has the derogatory distinction of hosting the largest genocide on the face of the Earth. Sixty million natives were shot down and murdered in other ways. What kind of a country would commit such an atrocity? USA, USA, USA, USA. Sorta makes you proud to be an American.

[coffeenuts44]

You just want to stir the shit pot and hope someone takes a sniff.

Maybe 60 million plus for the all the Americas due to new diseases. But thats not deliberate genocide.

Estimates are about 10-12 million, from 1500's to early 1900's. A travesty indeed, but those were different times.

Ghenghis Khan, 35 million Chinese alone, upwards of 65 million total during his 50 or so years.

OR Timur, 100,000 in an hour!

OR 200,000 in a few seconds.

USA wins the prize.

[ATMOOSEMAN95AND6]

Its about time this country realizes that Indians are and were the only true Americans , and we completely fucked them over. They deserve more than a dam casino and some small landmarks called reservations! Obama does whats right and America thanks him for this. I support no party but I support common sense and 99% of life is just this. Republicans hate change and all they think about is money. America is waking up with or without you and everyone with common sense sees this. Have a good day

[LuvThmGuns]

What other smoke and mirrors can you come up with before dealing with real issues.

[humanisall]

Indian Country has For so long distrusted the U.S. and for that reason Has always made it on there own. what you do not tell you is Indians are independant. Most remain outside to so called reservations. They are far from victims. And pity the americans. And see american, always as a younger brother. Always looking out for the betterment of humanity. Healthcare is becoming universal. And energy independence through new technologies.

[shamefulamerica]

give america back to the indians ya killing raping mutt monkeys!!!!

[MuhammadAlSayed]

[Walt471]

You get to employ a carrot + stick approach when you are talking. When you isolate, it's just stick. So the opposite side hardens -- saw a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

[VAR1UM]

Finally, a president that assumes responsibility.

We cant run around and not take accountability anymore. Thats arrogant ignorance that is ruing this country.

[Bassmarko]

This is the kiss just before he takes their land away. Mark my words he will start down the road of repatriating Indian land and folding Indians back into Americana society. How can you have a true communist society unless everyone participates? Right?

[nesianboy]

This reminds me of how Clinton signed the Apology Bill for the US government's actions in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Native Hawaiians, Kanaka Maolis, never gave consent to cede their lands and sovereignty away. Hawai'i is a fake state! It was illegally annexed and "voted" to statehood. They fought, and still fight, to return back their kingdom and sovereignty. Clinton signed the bill, nothing happened.

We'll have to wait and see.

[Katmandoo57]

Oh hell, he may as well apologize to the indians (for what my great, great, great, great great Grandfather did to them), he has apologized to everyone else, terrorists, anarchists, bombers, racist blacks, mexicans, jews, palistinians, pretty much got everyone under his "Hate Whitey" umbrella.

I cannot wait till he is impeached and thrown in jail for falsifying his citizenship.....

[Docthewrench]

HMmm then get off my land OBAMA your people slaughtered nine in the 1800s OHH yeah blacks had a lot to do with killing my people not just the white since you are american born you are part of the problem OBAMA the spirits are crying out and mother earth isnt happy

[lancecowboy]

Here is a president who does what is right, not what is politically expedient. Finally!

[nesianboy]

Patriot Act? Torture? Afghanistan? Iraq? Transparency? 5 days to read a bill before its passed?

This is 300 years late! Good job America. How long would it take to Free Hawai'i? Another three hundred years?

[NotEasilyRegimented]

@lancecowboy

What has he done? Accomplished?

[lancecowboy]

With this one announcement, President Obama is reaching out across the vast cultural divide, the vast historic injustice, to beginning healing the nation, not just the native people who have been wronged, but also the conscience of good Americans who did nothing. The road is long, because the history was long.

[nesianboy]

Torture? Patriot Act? Iraq? Afghanistan? Pakistan? Bailouts? Transparency? 5 days to read a bill before its voted on?

I find it sickening that his administration is taking credit for a "recovery" that isn't. It is covered up with more cheap dollars, bailouts, and stimulus. His administration is full of people that were involved in the crisis.

I held back from my criticisms of Obama till he went against his promises when he was campaigning.

[GeminiAzules]

i thought this was about India when i read the title...

same here!?
