Yeah black guys get fucked by society. This isn't a new phenomenon, black cultures glorification of criminal activity and objectification of women doesn't really help their cause either.

The 26 million figure sounds awfully high for indian wars. Are you sure that figure dosen't include those that died of disease. They estimate 75% of all natives in NA died of European illnesses without ever having laid eyes on a white man.
I'm not sure about the US but in Canada if you can prove 1/16 or better then you can be tax free for life, get all sorts of government handouts, and live without working on the reserve. Sounds OK to me.

26 million includes the smallpox I believe.
I was in college taking some type of easy a prep class and one week we had indigenous people come in and show a film followed by a discussion.
That's where that number came from.

I think its because, Black people feel restricted because of the past of slavery, but crime leads to prison and in prison thats a form of modern day slavery. So They glamorize crime leading to having it harder in society.

What sort of proof are you after? It is part of Cdn tax law that the natives, as long as they are residing on the reserve are not subject to income tax. Not sure if they have to charge sales taxes on the reserves or not.

Unlike the US we Canuks never went to war with our natives. Yes we used them in our wars between the English, French, & Americans but we were never fighting them alone. Rather we just cheated them out of their lands by signing treaties and then never living up to our side of the deals. This is why we're having so much trouble in the courts over native land claims and part of the reason why the govt hands hundreds of millions of $ to the natives annually.

Nah mate we got you beat there. Canada is 363,252 square miles larger than the US.
I suspect you are right about the number of natives you had though and if we compared the size of the area that people would actually want to live in then the US would far beat Canada (unless you really like mosquitos, black flies, and moss that is).

I'm 1/16 native american from my great great grandmother alone, and I know I have some mixed in with other parts of my ancestry. If I get asked about ancestry, why shouldn't I mention it?

Most white people think it's cool that they look white, knowing that they have a native heritage. You could say that they feel "exotic", but everyone probably has a little native blood. This post reminds me of that one southpark episode with the white Cherokee, did that episode air recently?

No, "everyone" doesn't have a little native blood, not even close.

Here in Canada everyone who can get thier card proving they are 1/16 does so in order to reap the benefits offered by our govt. (free edu. Grants. Tax cuts/exemptions. It's endless. And stupid IMO)

5% of americans have feather indian blood in them. The white fantasy of being part indian is a delusion.

White people claiming to be part Indian (Native) is just another example of endless cultural appropriation (theft). They habitually steal things from other cultures they subjugate, eg Jazz, Blues, Rock, whites with dreads, cornrows, etc.
Black people also claim to be part Indian a lot (mostly cherokee) but there is far more truth to it considering many slaves escaped to live with the natives and became part of the tribes and intermarried, hence the Mardi Gras Indian tribes in New Orleans. They were started in the parades to pay homage to their Indian brothers that sheltered and took them in.
I'm sure that with all the slaughter and raping of Natives, there is a lot of whites with Indian blood, and there was a fair amount of intermarriage also but the fact of the matter is that a respectable white man in early white america would be shunned by his peers for marrying an Indian due to the overwhelming racism inherent in rationalizing conquering and enslaving a whole continent. Intemarriage was primarily an element of the frontier and lower class.

If you think people weren't fucking right when they got off the boat then you're an idiot. Yes, plenty of whites have native blood, whether it is 1/16th or not is a different story. There is a reason we refer to this country as a melting pot.

But the real issue here is this false concept of "race" that society has created. The man wants you to be proud of your race, it is a lot easier to sell you shit that way. Remember, ethnicity and culture is all you got, race is bullshit.

Exactly. There is a rumor that there is a huge conspiracy going on in Europe right now to try and "erase" the white race by sending in over 1 million Arabic Muslims into Europe this year, and increasing more each future year, trying to mix the blood, and also flat out out breed, the white race, until there is no longer a single white people left in all of Europe.
A chilling idea. And if something is not done, it will happen.

"Society" didn't create race, biology did. Humans spent over 50,000 years separated from each other and evolved in different environments, therefore we have several different human races. It's ok to acknowledge this fact, human history is interesting.
