If we are referring to the same group, would that be appropriate to say?, they were well represented during the Olympics. I was proud as American first, Canuck 2nd by birth. Canada is a smart country Harper is a smart and balanced Bush. They have a structural advantage for 20-30 years min. Our buddies will sell all the crude they can and bravo **** off Middle East. I say pipeline it's worth the risk. it's worked in Alaska. Military around there, no Pinkerton chubbies, well designed it makes sense. It that is not a reason for imminent domain I don't know what is. We save birds and rodents, but not ensure our National Security? We provide their "real security" we are joined at the hip it's that simple.

um....? Not sure we're on the same wavelength. I was referring to how many Canadians relate to First Nations peoples in general. Who was well-represented during the Olympics, btw?

As usual, Oakland is experiencing the mob mentality resulting in businesses being damaged and the rioters showing their level of bullying.

Thank God we still have the right of free association in the United States as most decent people go to their schools/jobs every day and don't get involved with mob attacks. Others have come here and built their lives and contributed to society while others destroy and riot no matter how long they are here.

See, the problem (once again) is that people like yourself like to think that Black Americans are a monolithic group. The same practice of placing general negative statistics and stereotypes that are used for "the Black community" you wouldn't dare do the same to White Americans.

And let's be honest, people like yourself can not stand a Black person who has equal or more success than you have in your life. I know this because my family and friends have dealt with jealous Whites (and non-Blacks) all of our lives. There are a lot of Whites (and/or non-Blacks) who believe that they are supposed to have more than Blacks and it is an insult to their belief in their superiority to not be higher up on the totem pole.
You have got to be kidding me.

It means I don't want to argue with a someone anymore. It's a useless argument.

Moreover, the media don't publicize these attacks (which had been occurring before and continue to occur after the Zimmerman verdict) because it doesn't fit their narrative. Interesting, too, that any mention of recent violence is referred to as a "protest" and is to be viewed in comparison to the number of "peaceful demonstrators" rather than judging each incident on its own. Since when?

Since the truth can not be told anymore. It might offend some if truth be told by it's real name.
