Native Americans...

So I was reading a blog written buy a guy I hung out with a few times, and this is what it said...

So I'm going to be an asshole and a little bit of a racist. Let's start with the Native Americans. Even though I'm fractionally Native I don't really like 99.9% of them. I decided to give the Native people a Native American nickname...Drunk Face Slowtalker. Yep, that's what I'm calling every **** injun until they prove to me otherwise. Oh, and how awesome is the term "Indian Giver?" Thats so appropriate, let me sell you all my land and then bitch about it until you give me some back. And then let me open Casinos and take all your old peoples money. And white guilt says, "Ok, thats fair." How about we kicked your ass, join society or die out. And **** your Casinos, I'd rather go to Vegas or Monte Carlo, to a real ****ing Casino.

Well, I feel a little better getting that off my chest.

Who's next?...I'll add more to this later.
I have noticed that a lot of people in the U.S. feel like that about Native Americans. I would love your opinion on this. Please share...

The Native American tribes got the shaft from every country that sent settlers here. They got the shaft when the United States was formed. Now, for the most part, they are shafting themselves.

I wouldnt mind seeing one of the local Native COs put a casino and wind farm on Fire Island in the Arm.

My best friend is half native (her mom is full. Her dad is full english). I honestly take offence to that and I am not native. I cant stand for any type of ignorence for any race, I think it is disgusting for any one to be racisit. Sounds like this guy just judges his charecters from what he sees on TV ect. Much like how people that dont know a pitbull judge it by the media ect

The guy is a bigot. That's all there is too it. I doubt his wrath is confined to Native Americans. Yes, there are people who think that here . . . there are also people who think that those of African decent should be slaves and that Hitler had the right idea about the Jews. MOST Americans are revolted by such people.

I agree this guy has a messed up vision of history..............

BUT..........

I can say for myself & my family that I had a WAY different vision of native americans BEFORE we moved to Arizona when I was 12-13.

My grandmother was black foot as well, and I guess I had a very romantic vision of Native Americans, but when we actually got out to Arizona and QUITE a few would come up to our car at red lights............drunk, staggering, smelling foul and asking for money it changed all that for me. They would NEVER accept offers of food, or going into the store and picking out something...........it HAD to be cash or nothing :(

(coming from VERY small towns, this was my first experience with 'whinos')

So ya, I have never viewed them the same since and that makes me sad.

I'm Apache (not full but have a lot in me) and I definitely take offense to what that person said. Him saying that 99.9% of Native Americans are like that is completely untrue. I lived in New Mexico for years and knew TONS of native americans. That area afterall is loaded with reservation land. Sure occasionally you'd run into some drunken fool native, but you see that with every race honestly. It's the individual who makes a choice to act like an idiot and that individual shouldn't be made as a representative of the race as a whole. This guy is a complete racist and if I ever meet the person I will have a few words to say honestly.

I don't have any more a negative OR positive opinion about Indians/Native Americans, than I do about any other racial group.

I judge the ones I have met personally as individual people, with flaws and good points just like the rest of us, not as representatives of their entire race. I can only wish everyone did the same.

Thing is with the reservations, that anytime we forcibly create a ghetto situation, with all the hopelessness and despair that inevitably follows, there are going to be those who give up and give in, much like - here's an analogy we can relate to here - dogs living in stacks of cages at a puppymill operation.

hounded said it perfectly! and Renee just summed it up.

he must live in one of those shiny worlds where noone of his own race are EVER like that *rolls eyes*

ive met wonderfull natives and terrible natives, just like ive met nice white people and horrible white people (continue with every freeking race) judge each as an individual...deed not breed.

*grumbles* the evil side of me hopes a bunch of guys show up at his door and PROVE there not all drunks by beating the snot out of him wiht sound mind and body.
but luckily that side of me is only VERY tiny...

natives nowerdays are no different than any other Human being, some screw up, or hit hard times...others work damned hard to make something of themselves...
Humans as a race are flawed...and its not dependant on skin color!
i hold no romantisized visions of natives, or anyone else for that matter, i do however hold their spiritual belifs in firm standing...and belive as Humans they have every right to suceed and screw up as every other race on this planet...

but im sure this guy is one of those "im perfect" kind of people...
