Well I can honestly see that we're going nowhere in this discussion I've said my piece, and you've said yours I just simply can't accept your nihilistic point of view and I can see there's going to be no change in your way of thinking. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
First off, stop thinking of us as just Indians, these are human lives here. Thousands of people with traditions that date back thousands of years. Dont you have a heritage you pride yourself in? Dont you have beliefs you cherish? You can't expect people to just bow down to genocide.
This isnt sh*t that happened hundreds of years ago jackass, my uncle went through the residential school system which started in 1874. Kids were sent to these schools to be assimilated into "civilized society" over half of them died and the ones that survived lost their lives and their daily bread, when this happened they turned to alchohol, drugs, anything they could get their hands on. Yes some have given up hope, and i wish it was a simple issue of willpower but it isnt.
First off over 79% of all natives(in Canada) live off reserve which means they do NOT get the benefits for government funding. You know why? Because all that "Free land" is sh*t thats why. Try going to the rez yourself or checking the paper. Just look at Kashechewan two years back when they needed to evacuate the entire population because of a contaminated water supply. Another thing, you can tighten up unemployment insurance all you like but people still gotta live.
Colombus lead one of the first "successful" colonial expeditions into the Americas during an age of national imperialism and economic competition much different than the vikings. But all this history is besides the point you say "That has nothing to do with this, me, nor reality today as we know it". Dont you think all these outside influences I just listed have something to with the social and economic depression my people face right now? Come on
Try waves of disease, alchohol, sexually deviant priests, residential shcools, and internal aswell as external assimilation. It seems everything just got f*cked up after Colombus came over. You can't begin to imagine what my people have been through, you'd rather sit back and watch an entire race of people suffer. I'm all for decent racist jokes and all but your rants just piss me off.
We're a myth are we Clyde? Kinda sounds like the paled skinned ghost people story my grandmother told me. Anyways great vid! Sugar hill gang would certainly spice up an old tradition
Sorry about the mixup i didnt realize the joke had been done before, if either ytmnders feel that my revized JC version has stolen the joke they can just post a comment and i'll have the page removed.
