Other people also being racist, the question of who is more racist, doesn't change that, nor does corporate sponsorship. Corporate america doesn't care what color skin their slaves are. They'll ride the NAFTA gravy train just like they love to do business with a totalitarian China.

"la Raza" no wonder they started to call themselves NCLR instead.

I find it funny that white people tell Mexican, Latino et al people to 'go back from where they came from'.

In coming back to America they are going back to where they came from before you stole their land. These myopic dolts that proudly wave their flags are so delusional to what really happened in this country are pathetic. Hey white loud mouth jackoff, why don't YOU go back to where you came from. Get back on that boat to England, France, Ireland, or the other European country you came from, and let the people have their land back. You fucking hypocrites. Just because your daddy was a meathead racist moron, doesn't mean you have to be. In fact it shows incredible lack of character to hate a race just because your piece of shit family hated non whites.

I am waiting for the native people of 'America' to figure out that getting a casino and discount cigarettes and booze doesn't make up for the rape and pillage of Manifest Destiny.

Lets be honest here, white people raped and pillaged their way across this country, then have the audacity to get uppity when the conquered people have the nerve to take back what was theirs. How can a white person say in good conscience that this land is their land? You stole it.

You are the result of greedy, backhanded, murderous, thieves. Give yourselves a hand.

And before you start your racist little inner monologues. I am white. I am from Scotland, but I live in the US now. I see no problem with land being taken back, payback is a bitch, isn't it, white America.

...who loses?

I guess maybe our country, a little, if we afford these hateful people a platform to spew their race-centric "arguments".

I'll ignore the bigots on both sides of the issue, thx.

that all of those 1/64th and 1/32nd indians with creamy skin, brown eyes and raven hair suddenly admited to being indian. There has been a certain amount of scrambling to try, unsuccessfully, to get on the tribal rolls. I guess it wouldn't be funny if it weren't true.
