You a cot damn northerner? The proper phrasing is "it was nice visiting with y'all." Come on, man.

The White Man gave them a history month but then took it back.

You're probably right but I was nervous after the last time when my innocent "you people" earned me several eye rolls.

Maybe that was due to the hands up stuff going around.

Anyways, I'm trying to be more sensitive In general

Etiquette question. Yesterday I was talking to a group of AA people. Like 6 or 7. When it was time for me to leave, I said, "See you folks later." Was that ok? Last time is said "it was nice visiting with you people" and I don't think that went over too well but I'm not sure why.

They can be so touchy at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Native Americans don't have enough political clout to accomplish the legislation required.

The dude in that commercial was Italian, not Native American. They can't even get in commercials, and you think we're giving them a whole month? I think our government just wants to sweep them under the rug and pretend we didn't do what we did. The greatest tragedy and travesty of this country. Just read "The Last Days of the Incas" - it's abominable what we white people do to entire civilizations and get away with.

Anything besides black history month would be considered racist

Newsflash: History is written by the victors.

Where do we go from here as we can't change the past?

There's little momentum for reparations or other remedial action in the case of Native Americans. It is not on my radar. If that gets me a ticket to hell, then so be it.

That's just the way it is, some things will never change.

Cause if we did give em a month, they would get all drunk on the firewater. And Injuns can't handle the firewater.
