When you think about it, black people should be Native American Status

i think it was because of the civil rights movement. native americans to my knowledge never had a comparable attempt at integration. they pretty much broke off and did their own thing vs try to integrate like blacks in the civil rights era. one common theme about everybody you listed was that they did not integrate.

Five Civilized Tribes ring a bell? They tried to be like whites and Andrew Jackson STILL kicked them out west via the Indian Removal Act.

The only reason we arent, is because those old white settlers feared losing power to us. That and Native Americans were quick to join to help them enslave us.

@spinoza , by Native American status are u saying we should have our own casinos, reservations, and free college tuition like they do?? :obama:

He saying if we have bowed down like they did, then that's where we should be. Reservations ain't no paradise.

that wasnt integration though they lived outside of white society and still do to this day. the main problem with the native community is there are no jobs where they live which was the fate of never integrating into the rest of society.

Native Americans those who aren't on alcholol have it good.

Their own land, tax exemptions. Free tuition, free board.
nah its not good to have a community in such disrepair that is has to be dependent on the government to even exist at all

I think its mainly because back in the day if you were bi racial or even 1/8 you are still considered black legally. whereas with native americans you have to be at least a 1/4 to be considered part of the tribe and if you can't prove it then you're not.

You're right breh, with that said, we should be tax exempt and have free education/healthcare.

:ehh:

They weren't integrated (which I also believe that hurt black people) but they did adopt a lot of white customs and traditions, the big one was SLAVERY, but it wasn't as brutal as white-on-black chattel slavery. In other words they were shuffling for the white colonists, and yet what happened? They stilll were driven away from their lands to some reservation out west.

NA today are basically a dead people, something black people should NEVER hope for.

Also there are millions of more Black people then their ever were Native Americans. We have strength in numbers, something they couldn't do.

Agree with this. 400 years of abuse and we are still thriving. We have some c00ns of course (Don Lemon, Tyler Perry, Oprah), and the wm is using these c00ns against us, but let us not forget that we have persevered unlike no other group of people IN HISTORY.

I am very proud to be black, look at what we have accomplished. It is truely astounding. The CIA TRIED to exterminate us through drugs and violence, but we are still here. :blessed:

how are Tyler Perry and Oprah c00ns?

Tyler Perry = Madea

Oprah and her hatred for black men and using that hatred as ammo against black men by creating false stats of 75% single and having bw FEAR black men.

Ever spoke to a bw that fears black men because "a lot" are DL or say that "75%" single bs?? You can thank Oprah for that.
