  • one of them want a be white people

  • My friend from France she said after WW II Americans spread racism & hatred to French. This woman said that Americans brought segregation among French those married to blacks. American military were doing theft & accused of French. American military soldiers did same in Turkey they done theft than they said Turks did it. Americans spread hate & racism to the world not democracy. Everyone has experienced racism by Americans. Europe has now chaos because of American's brought Terrorist Ideology.

  • Americans are the worse racist people I ever met. They are worse than Germans. I grow up in Germany they never abused Muslim Turks until 90's. Americans spread this racist ideology to the world & Europe. Yes, they did very truly Americans would never admit because they never travel to see what Americans are doing to our communities. So,many American soldiers were discharged because they married to Muslim women. We Muslims know. Every time Americans come to our country they cause corruption.

  • I know exactly what m he is saying. I from Turkey & I have always been treated second class citizen either Mexican or Arab or South American. White Americans treated me better than the blacks. I have abused & bullied by black. Black Americans r more racist. My children are from white Americans & they have abused because I am from Turkey. Even now my son is bullied by his school kids Turkey, turkey they call him. Not only that they told him your dad is terrorist. My son's father Irish American.

  • JUST AN FYI FOR YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE....White Europeans were the first people in North America more than 20,000, THATS 20 THOUSAND years ago. They came across the Atlantic Ice Shelf and spread across North America. A mere 9000, THATS 9 THOUSAND years ago the Asiatic peoples crossed the Bearing Sea and spread across North America to become the Injuns and Eskimos. They murdered/genocided the White Europeans who had been here for more than 10,000, THATS 10 THOUSAND years, before the Injuns.

  • @1979junie lmfao typical hyprocrite european illegal,so now you want people to forget your ancestors horrible crimes,but yet you want everyone to remember 911 and how "dems iraquis" did this to you and that.Go back to europe pillager its where you belong.The difference is when indigenous people came here they didnt rape and commit genocide against anyone idiot,typicall white reasoning.how bout YOU quit crying on tv about "reverse racism" "tax payer dollars" "dems illegals" "dems muslums"

  • We all follow the same God, no matter what our nation calls Him. We are all human beings with the same kind of feelings, only the skin color is different. The Natives were treated badly, but so were a lot of other races. Instead of color we should look at what is happening to the Earth, where are we going to go when it is uninhabitable. With all the pollution, color of skin is the least of our problems, we're all the same color in the end.

  • If this man didn't have his hair coiffed in the traditional indian way, I would have had a hard time identifying him as such. I believe this country was colonized by a multitude of racial groups before the colonists as we know them arrived here. I believe that the indiginous people are the result of mixtures of ancient whites asians and whatever else landed on these shores thousands of years ago. Look up racial types and see the incredible diversity within Europe itself.

  • Injuns are far more racist than whites are. Most of you idiots are taught that these people are somehow"one with earth" or some nonsense like that. When in reality you've probably never been around them.

  • @1979junie One problem with your rant, the US Constitution is current, and the US Constitution requires the federal and state governments to adhere to all provisions of every treaty signed between the US and Native nations in the Americas. That isn't ancient history it's the law today. It's all down in black and white under Article VI paragraph Two of the US Constitution.
