someone has to do it.. If Mexico Movement had not stepped in, we would have seen the movie in theatres and this has a pscyhological effect on indigenous people to disgrace their history and love the european history. It would make it seem that it was better that the europeans came and did a good job! Look At Iraq and the middle east, they are certainly doing a good job with a puppet in the white house who dictates nothing, it is the white elite who dictate, obama just obeys..

@Dangerdoom68 ok. but why is it considered an invasion to people now days when there were no laws saying travelers and explorers are not allowed to move upon this earth, when you guys did when you came here, and just about any other race live on earth? Why are we the exception and considered invaders? Especially now days when non of my peoples' experience and these lands is all we know not Europe? Why should we suffer when we dont believe in that to move out of here? This is all what we know

@Dangerdoom68 Mexica is claiming your cause, why do you say your seperate from them? Do you know I am Native American but not of "indian" descendant. If you study World History and Ancient History in a credible College, it tells in depth of Native American History and explains and proves why they are not Indigenous.

@Dangerdoom68 Your right, b/c whoever the scientist, geneticists, and anthropologists needs to here from the ones I have studied from. But even so, the word indigenous has been loosly used by European haters. If you look up the word itself, you can see what I am talking about and the same with Native. Anyone born here is a Native.

@MexicaIsBrownRacism3

Well, you need to argue your ideas with current scientists, geneticists, anthropologists, etc., who have studied this subject for years from the accumulated science, and NOT ME because most of them refer to the "Natives" as Indigenous! Why? Because the "Native American Indian" People have a precedent of being established here for thousands of years, this influenced their genetics, religion, language, etc., so vastly that it is not directly traceable to the "Old World"!

@MexicaIsBrownRacism3

Wrong! Many European "white" people, I have met are genuinely good folks! But many have been indoctrinated a bias history by their own invading ancestors! Sad! You know, for hundreds of years Europeans invaded South Africa, then occupied it, built settlements, had children, then initiated a propaganda movement in the mid 1600s (year) claiming that South Africa is their country! Can you believe them?But now S. Africa's Indigenous Afro-black People have the power again. :)

@MexicaIsBrownRacism3

Who said anything about the Mexica Movement. This organization is a tiny part of a grand vision. I'm speaking about the Indigenous People of this lands and not the Mexica Movement. If you have beef with them, voice it them and not me. I'm Indigenous "Native American" and not a Mexica, etc.

@Dangerdoom68 Just b/c you suffered injustices doesn't entitle to your way of life here on my country, doesn't entitle your people to their religon on my country, doesn't entitle your people to my home in my country, just bc this happen hundreds of years ago, which non of us today ever experienced and have to suffer for our ancestors' mistakes or mishaps. Should you suffer b/c of the religious mistakes and murders ur indian ancestors caused or the sold of slaves they encountered???

[MexicaIsBrownRacism3]

@Dangerdoom68 Its not a noble cause unless you provide the truth about the WHOLE Indian lifestyle. The core ideas and grievances or injustices, again, does NOT grant indigenous to any peoples' to this land. Otherwise everyone would be consider Indigenous to this land. We all have experience injustices. The hopes of acquiring Freedom, Soverneighty on these lands is not suppose to be on Indian core values thats why they were beaten in battles and war. Nobody wanted them, ex: religion, way of life

[MexicaIsBrownRacism3]

@Dangerdoom68 ....I dont support "indigenious activities b/c NOBODY is indigenious to this contient, there is no such meaning of proof that anyone came with this land. You people are indigenous to C. Africa and Siberia we are indigenous to Europe. These are proven FACTS. As far as History goes I dont believe they will allow mexica movement into our school system. Its not factual, its racist, its bias, and it doesn't describe or tell the whole lives how indians really lived. Even their murders!!
