I'm glad the most pressing issues in our society include something as fucking dumb as white people being upset over not being allowed to choose what to call the other races.

How the narrative is carried out between the groups can have a massive impact on the outcome. Double standards and hypocrisy don't lead to constructive dialogue.

Could you do that without pooping your pants?

The Chinese could and can. I watched them build huge office towers using bamboo as their scaffolding. So to say the Mohawk's are a special race that's uniquely suited for high steel works is just another racial stereotype like, the white men can't jump, the Chinese all look the same or Black is beautiful.

As for them joining the American Military because they fight. Well, I don't know where you've been for the past 13 years but I'd say if they had really wanted to fight they'd have gotten just as good a shot in one of our Regiments as an American one possibly better.

Despite all your claims to the contrary about their culture and warrior heritage these are the same "warriors" who think they're a separate country but still want Canada to foot their bill, they're also the same "warriors" that think nothing of carrying out ethnic cleansing in their alleged country, contrary to every Charter Right in Canada yet, they'll howl like gut shot dogs whenever they think one of their Canadian Charter rights has been violated. BTW being a a "warrior" doesn't give you any special rights or privileges in life and it sure as hell doesn't make you or your cause right. Just take a look at all those Serbian "warriors" who carried out the ethnic cleansing.


Instead of "warriors" they sound more like a bunch of self entitled asshats who think the world and Canada specifically owes them a living and if we didn't defeat them in battle that's their problem not ours so, if they want North America back all I can say is "bring it on" because this "I'm a warrior and can intimidate, break laws and do as I please because of it" is just more bullshit and has to stop somewhere.

In the end, whitey shouldn't be concerned. Natives are only called natives because white people call them natives. Whatever their next name will be will be one whitey has agreed with. If there's a stereotype white people can have tacked to them, it's their persistent need for others to be organized into groups we can name without offending other white people. In the end the natives don't even matter for the "constructive dialogue" that's occurring, because they aren't a part of it, and never were. Why are we okay with "white people"? Because we decided so.

I must admit, this argument completely lost me.

Probably due to the lack of substance.

This one of the more retarded things you've written, out of a long list to choose from. Followed closely by your insipid mewling about Indian Summer being a racist term.

I didn't hear anything about this. Everything was normal yesterday as far as I know on the rez here.

[HyperionTheEvil]

So did they shut the country down?

we disgust a lot of them because of our weakness. ... think Klingon.

Well CBC reported of the 6700 purported to have said they were showing up across the country only 6 showed in Winnipeg. I'm assuming the other 6694 showed up in other parts of the country.

Idle no more eh?

I wonder if they would consider saying that they've failed themselves... at least a bit.

Their leadership, at least. But turn it around. There seem to be real resistance to the idea that we might be failing them...at least a bit. I think the whole thing is a pas de deux, with each side only pointing fingers at the other.
