So, you're prepared to leave and go back to whatever country your heritage is?

Are you going to send all black people back to Africa? All white people back to Europe? All Latino's back to Spain?




You all talk feel good BS and never think the implications through. Irrational is the best word that describes the nonsense.

I was born in Oklahoma city, but I am one of those third culture kids who grew up overseas, (Germany, Japan, Shanghai, China) I came back when I was about 9 years old.

Am I a Native American? I believe I am. Plus, my grandparents (from both sides) were born here in the States; my parents were born here in the U.S. My grandparents even paid American tax when they were in foreign countries.

The history of the United States started way way way back in 1584 at Roanoke Island the very first colony start up in North America.

Then there was a colonial period around 1630-1763

The beginning of the nation between 1783-1815.
Articles of Confederation - U.s. Constitution - Bill of Rights
Cotton Gin and Eli Whitney
Louisiana Purchase
Lewis & Clark
War of 1812
Expansion between 1815-1860

Native Americans are not just the American indians (my opinion only)

Irrational is the best word that describes this nonsensical post. Perhaps an earlier bedtime . . .

I don't understand the hatred for this congress critter by the right. She was one of the few who openly told Obama to stuff it on the TPP deal.

Anyway, I'm with you on Santa Barbara. My son is a Choctaw tribe member. Maybe he can get us backstage passes!

It most certainly does! The so-called native Americans are no more native than anyone else that was born here. They are the Amerindians they don't own the label of native all by themselves since their ancestors migrated here. They weren't natives.

As usual, mixed race people end up homeless in these scenarios.

Well, I'm from a Jewish family, on my mother's side so I guess I'm off to Israel.

Then maybe Liberals should act like it ......start treating them like Americans by stop labeling them as hyphenated Americans.

I'd feel pretty damn stupid calling myself an "Irish American" just because my great grandfather came from Ireland.

I've never been to Ireland and if I did go there, I'd ask them how they can stand drinking their beer warm.

Guinness stout is okay at room temp. Still I prefer it chilled.
