Sorry but a moron like you has to be blocked from the site.

Don't believe there is any scientific evidence to prove this theory. If white Europeans came to North America at that time they would have come in very small numbers.

[robertleokelly]

That a boy. Blame the victim. You haters are all the same.

[robertleokelly]

Good comment

[robertleokelly]

I don't think it is productive to call someone an idiot when you are trying to inform them.

Hey dont talk unless your native and we do not get free money thts a lie and most natives dont finish school cause they dont think they will make it anyways and then some do and dont commit unless you have lived on or near a rez it is hard living there and they stuff we do get from the gov is the same as you get foodstamps and medicare and most of our money comes from things we sell and casinos that we have on the rez

The bering strait theory is bogus its that eurocentric crap they teach little kids in school to justify Columbus's "discovery."

@andyaidenirene1 Good lord. It's called SCHOOL. Did you ever attend it? Jesus.

@ashsbrown1 Sorry I should have elaborated on my comment what I meant was that problems that have been caused due to what the Europeans had done 'should' be resolved although that is a very very difficult thing to do, obviously.

Although I do agree with your comment about "kicking every white out of America", sorry my bad.

@ashsbrown1 it really is true though, a lot of my native friends actually feel sad for white people TODAY 'cus we are pretty much taught or treated in a way that we feel that we personally owe them and will be paying them back for the rest of our lives or should just leave, even tho a lot of us are part native. I'm completely fine with all the benefits that they get like free rides to college and $20,000 for graduating from high school, just don't make me feel bad for being mostly white anymore

[andyaidenirene1]

ashsbrown1, Let me guess, you saw the south park episode about thanksgiving, and right away you went on you tube, were you get all your education from, Am I right!! YES IM Right, Thanks for reading my comments!!!

[ashsbrown1]

@andyaidenirene1 OHYA I FORGOT :D the Native Americans and Mexicans made it illegal for White people to come to america way back when~ Of COURSE.

Derp. You fail good sir.

[ashsbrown1]

@vanillabeano I was talking about the whole "kick every white out of America" thing.

And good lord, my best friend is full blown Native, and he even agrees with me! We all know of what happened. It's called school.

People of old did what they did, and no amount of talking is going to change that. Or make things right.

[vanillabeano]

@ashsbrown1 Are you kidding me "forgive and forget" may work in some petty argument but the fact that the Europeans stole, raped and murdered Native Americans continues to effect the natives to this day. By acknowledging what they did and pretty much saying "oh get over it" makes it seem like you condone their acts. But it is good that naive people like yourself continue to express their views as it allows people to see how natives are viewed in society....
