No, please don't take it the wrong way. It's exactly what Isn't Anything said.

I'm not a rascist at all. Many of my friends are a different race than I am. I have to agree though, black people DO put a lot of emphasis on slavery. They weren't even the first slaves, either.

Racism = Stupid...
Whoopdie freakin' doo, that person has a darker tone than you, doesn't mean they're a human. Anything with human organs and organ systems is a human. That means we're all some how equal and alike so stop being mean about being a different colour than others.

What happens nowadays is that a lotta black kids try to use the slavery thing to their advantage. I'm not racist when I say that most of the black kids I'm familiar with cause a lot of trouble. And whenever an adult (a WHITE adult) tries to call them on it or something, they just begin to whine and they're like "you're just trying to get me in trouble because I'm black" or "come on, we were in slavery, give us a break!" It really does happen, and I think it's just stupid. "You" were not in slavery, idiot.

same thing happens in new zealand with the maori.

they a hel of a lot for free. and htere is huge debate over alot of the stuff that was dont when england colonised new zelaand, but expert rekon that is the europens hadnt moved in, maori would have been dead within a coupe of hundred years anyway.  they were burning of al the land, and killing all th animals.  not cos htey were evil or anything, its just that they didnt know how to farm land so it could be re used.

and im not saying that alot of what happened to the maori under the crown wasnt horrible, but they get better, cushier treatment than any other race in new zealand, and they stil have hte highest rates of all disease and disibilities and stuff. there is only so fat the goverernment can go.  in the end, its up to maori to get where they want to go, it cant jsut be given to them. like a coolage degree *grumbles about easier marking sheduals for maori in new zealand*

That's pretty much the same thing I was going to say when I clicked on this thread.
It's sad but true......

Yeah, I get what you're saying. They let the Indians here have their own casinos.  :angry:

Why do Indians get their own casinos, Hannah? Can only Indians use these casinos? Sorry, but that is so interesting. :tongue:

No, you can use them. They just own and operate them on their reservations. Its legal that way. In state where its illegal to gamble they can put one up on their reservation and its legal. They can basically do what they want.

Yeah. I was just kidding about the casino comment, but that's actually how it is. We're not yet allowed to gamble here in Oklahoma but last election we voted and they decided to make it legal. Apparently they just need to work out the technicalities first. But anyways, Indians here get very special treatment...like being able to open casinos. Oh yeah, there's also scholarships, money, and free vaccines.

Oh, I understand. I'm sorry if I offended you. Most blacks in the US act like this, though. Blacks arent bad people at all. I just hate it when they think America still owes them something and whine like that.

S'alright, I was just hoping you weren't steriotyping black people :happy:

No, Americans can open casinos. Indian casinos are just more common since the government uses the revenue as a way of taxing. They don't directly tax the Indians because they would feel that they were losing their freedoms. Plus, the casinos boost their economy.

Im still a bit sketched about hte casinos thing, its like its jsut a way to keep indians quiet about the
"here, have a reservation, oh, no, theres some natural rescorce on it that we want, move to this reservation, its worse, but, yeah, its all yours, stick some casinos on it. oh, wait, there is *insert somthing* that we can mine form here..." and so on.

its weird how you can look at two contries, that are both developed, and still see huge diffrences between them.
