REPARATIONS

The government of the United States, my government, our government, has treated groups of people horribly throughout the years.  

For instance:

• Native Americans
• Slavery of Blacks
• Japanese Americans
• Chinese Americans

Because of what we did to our Native Americans, we gave them the opportunity to build casinos and recoup their loses (financially)...  while it was a poor subsitute for all the death we caused...  MONEY does seem to make those that we oppressed FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES.

I would like to propose the same for BLACKS...  let them have casinos.  I would even support our tax dollars building those casinos.  But, to give them reparations for what our ANCESTORS did is WRONG...  I am not responsible for what my ancestors did...  and, to give them reparations would only cause our RACISM PROBLEM TO WORSEN...

Blacks are now randomly shooting whites because they are white...

What happens if whites start to randomly shoot blacks in retaliation???

DO WE WANT RACE WARS IN THE USA?

12% blacks

60% whites

Since there are more whites than blacks, everything will favor whites unless we intentionally force everyone to deal with blacks before they deal with whites.

For instance:

1. Hire blacks before whites regardless of qualifications
2. Restaurants serving blacks before whites
3. Hospitals treating blacks before whites regardless of triage
4. Educators giving blacks better grades than whites even though their scores are lower
5. The military deploying whites before blacks if they are to be sent into a war zone
6. Prosecuting more whites than blacks to equalize the racial balance in jails
7. Selling homes to blacks before whites
8. The IRS taxing whites at a higher rate than whites
9. Restricting earnings potential of white millionaires
10. Allowing blacks to sell illegal drugs to whites but not vice versa
11. Limiting the number of white professional athletes to always favor blacks
12. Hollywood hiring more black actors than whites
13. More black movies produced than white movies
14. Hiring more black educators than white educators
15. Only allowing black candidates to run for political office
16. Selling tickets blacks on commercial aircraft before whites, making sure the ratio favors blacks
17. Forcing cruise ships to fill cabins with blacks first and make sure the onboard ratio favors blacks
18. Having social security to pay higher benefits to blacks than to whites regardless of quarters worked

NOW...  if we do this, then we should assume that they WHITES will not retaliate somehow...

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

Native American Mound Builders

NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURES IN THE REGION OF THE GREAT LAKES, THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY, AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY, CONSTRUCTED LARGE CHARACTERISTIC MOUND EARTHWORKS OVER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS IN THE UNITED STATES.

19th century academics theorised that the Native Americans were too primitive to be associated with the mounds, instead, implying that they belonged to a lost culture that disappeared before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.

One of the earliest theories suggested that the mound builders were Norse in origin, who settled in the Americas and migrated south to become the Toltecs in Tula, Mexico. Later theories have connected them with descendants of the Israelites, the Ancient Egyptians, Welsh, Irish, Polynesians, Greeks, Chinese, Phoenicians, and even crossing into the realm of pseudo-science by implying an association with the lost continent of Atlantis.

Proper academic studies have shown that the mounds were built by Native American cultures over a period that spanned from around 3500 BC to the 16th century AD, that includes part of the Archaic Period (8000 to 1000 BC), Woodland Period (1000 BC to AD 1000) and the Mississippian Period (800 AD to 1600 AD).

One of the earliest mound complexes was built at Watson Brake in Louisiana around 3500 BC during the Archaic Period. The site was developed over centuries by a pre-agricultural, pre-ceramic, hunter-gatherer society, who occupied the site on a seasonal basis. The builders constructed an arrangement of eleven earthwork mounds around 7.6 metres in height, connected by ridges to form an oval shaped complex.  READ MORE...

Native Americans Reacquire Land

The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced on Friday the return of more than 400 acres of land to an indigenous tribe in Virginia.

About 465 acres at Fones Cliffs on the eastern side of the Rappahannock River was returned to the Rappahannock Tribe, which regards the sacred site as its ancestral homeland, according to a press release from the DOI.

The Rappahannock Tribe will own and maintain the land, but the site, within the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge, will be available to the public. The tribe plans to create trails and a replica 16th-century village at the site to educate visitors.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) also holds a permanent conservation easement on the land, which was donated to them by environmental organization Chesapeake Conservancy.

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, said she was “honored to join the Rappahannock Tribe in co-stewardship of this portion of their ancestral homeland.”

“This historic reacquisition underscores how Tribes, private landowners, and other stakeholders all play a central role in this Administration’s work to ensure our conservation efforts are locally led and support communities’ health and well-being,” Haaland said in a statement.

The Biden administration has been working to support indigenous people and tribes through an array of methods, including building out physical infrastructure and financially supporting tribal nations, according to a White House fact sheet released in November.   READ MORE...

Redwoods Returned to Native Americans

LOS ANGELES -- The descendants of Native American tribes on the Northern California coast are reclaiming a bit of their heritage that includes ancient redwoods that have stood since their ancestors walked the land.

Save the Redwoods League planned to announce Tuesday that it is transferring more than 500 acres (202 hectares) on the Lost Coast to the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council.

The group of 10 tribes that have inhabited the area for thousands of years will be responsible for protecting the land dubbed Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ, or “Fish Run Place,” in the Sinkyone language.

Priscilla Hunter, chairwoman of the Sinkyone Council, said it’s fitting they will be caretakers of the land where her people were removed or forced to flee before the forest was largely stripped for timber.

“It’s a real blessing,” said Hunter, of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians. “It’s like a healing for our ancestors. I know our ancestors are happy. This was given to us to protect.”

The transfer marks a step in the growing Land Back movement to return Indigenous homelands to the descendants of those who lived there for millennia before European settlers arrived.  READ MORE...

Did Native Americans Originate from Japan?

The biological evidence "simply does not match up" 

with archeological finds.

Native Americans may not have originated in Japan as previous archaeological evidence has suggested, according to a new study of ancient teeth.

For years, archaeologists had predicted that the first people to live in North America descended directly from a group called the Jomon, who occupied ancient Japan about 15,000 years ago, the same time people arrived in North America around 15,000 years ago via the Bering Land Bridge, a strip of land that previously connected Russia to North America before sea levels rose above it. This theory is based on archaeological similarities in stone tools, especially projectile weapons, found in Native American and Jomon settlements.

However, the authors of the new study say this scenario is highly unlikely because the biological evidence "simply does not match up" with the archaeological findings, according to a statement from the researchers.

"The Jomon were not directly ancestral to Native Americans," lead author G. Richard Scott, an anthropologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, told Live Science. "They [the Jomon] are more aligned with Southeast Asian and Pacific groups than with East Asian and Native American groups."

Instead, the researchers suspect that Native Americans descended from a different group living somewhere in East Asia, although a lot of uncertainty remains about exactly where and when those ancestors lived.

An archaeological theory

Scott and his colleagues began their study because they were unconvinced by the main argument linking Native Americans with the Jomon — the stone tool similarities, they said.

"The artifact similarities between ancient Jomon and at least some of the earliest known Native American sites lie in the stemmed projectile points," co-author John Hoffecker, an archaeologist at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado Boulder, told Live Science. These similarities led previous researchers to suspect that the knowledge to make those tools had been passed down from one culture to the other, he added.  READ MORE...

A Native American Society

Shell cups carved with mythical beings. Large effigy pipes. Beaded baskets. These are among the archaeologically significant objects excavated from the Spiro Mounds. Often overlooked, this Native American site in the midwestern U.S. is among the greatest sources of Mississippian Native American artifacts ever discovered.

Located on the Oklahoma and Arkansas border, the Spiro Mounds were part of a city complex populated from 800 to 1450 A.D. At its peak, it supported a population of some 10,000 people. The Mississippian political, trade, and religious confederation incorporated more than 60 different tribes and stretched from the Gulf Coast of Florida to the Great Lakes and from the Rockies to the Virginia coast.


The Spiro population, along with other Mississippian groups across eastern North America, was once equal to the Aztecs and Incas, yet despite its size and sophisticated trade society, its legacy is not well understood.

A groundbreaking exhibition aims to change this. Unveiled in February and running through May 9, “Spiro and the Art of the Mississippian World,” at Oklahoma City’s National Cowboy & Western...

The exhibition helps document “the single most powerful group ever to exist” in the U.S., according to Dennis Peterson, executive director of the Spiro Mounds Archeological Center.

“The people who lived [in Spiro] came to control what we call the Mississippian culture. So pretty much all the United States except for the far northeast and the far northwest, Spiro either had trade with, communication with or direct control over for over 350 years with almost no use of violent warfare,” he says.

The Spiro archeological discoveries give important insight into the culture of the ancient Mississippian people.  READ MORE

BACK TO WORK

The Holiday (Christmas or Seasonal) is over...   and now that most of us no longer refer to this holiday as Christmas, what the hell are we celebrating for?  Of course...  I forgot...   it was NEW YEARS EVE and then NEW YEARS DAY..  and, all those presents that we bought and wrapped and shared was just to celebrate the approach of the new year.  What a fickle group of people to spend so much time and money celebrating the new year as if it were our own private birthday...

WELL...  anyway, it is gone...  over...  say goodbye...   because it ain't coming back for another 12 months and in the meantime, it is time for us to return to work...  and make some damn money...

But, some of us are still out-of-work because of COVID and there are others who cannot go back to work because they ignored all the warnings and now they are home with COVID...  and if they are in relatively good health will live to WORK another day.

Then...  there are some of us...  who...  have decided we have earned enough money and need no more and now call themselves RETIRED...  however, many people simply NEED to work and earn money like it was some sort of COVID Disease where they can only get better if and when they earn another dollar, and then another, and then another.

In a way, I feel sorry for those who are addicted to money and greed like those addicted to drugs...  and, must live the rest of their lives with that as their only motivator other than spending the money they earn with is the other side and equally as harmful.

Some of retired folk understand that money is not happiness nor is money success no matter how the media and advertisers try to spin it.

Life is a GIFT and work is a necessary evil nowadays in order to enjoy that GIFT...  but, life did not always used to be that way and I doubt if it was ever that way for Native Americans before the rest of us arrived and stole everything from them because we out-numbered them and were stronger.

But, what we did to the Native American was not LIFE AS A GIFT either...

So, since progress ruined the concept of life as a GIFT, we must now work and pretend that we are working to enjoy LIFE AS A GIFT...  retirees see life as a gift and are thankful for that insight and feel rather sorry for all of those who cannot see it or can never see it because they do not know how to enjoy life unless they are earning money by convincing others to spend their money...  in other words, give it to them...

A COUNTRY OF RACES not Americans

The WHITE RACE DOMINATES the United States of America, even though there are 13% blacks and 18% Hispanics living here.

Why would anyone want to live in a country where the MAJORITY POPULATION controls the direction of America.

America's future should be TOTALLY in the hands of the Blacks and Hispanics so that EQUALITY will reign supreme in America.

Ever since the 1500 has THE WHITE RACE dominated America...   this is 500 years...  it is time for a change.

ALL white Americans should begin behaving as if they are Black Americans.

AMERICANS should no longer see themselves as AMERICANS...  

AMERICANS should see themselves as a country of UNITED RACES...  exactly as they perceived our United States...

Races will control this country

Not Democrats or Republicans

Not Libertarians or Socialists

BUT RACES...

We are a country of RACES OF PEOPLE and it is time that this be acknowledged...

Who Are We As A People

I look around the rest of the world and I see the:

• British
• Scots
• Irish
• Germans
• Italians
• Spanish
• Russians
• Egyptians
• Arabs
• Chinese
• Japanese, etc., etc., etc.

I look around at those living in the USA and I see:

• Blacks or People of Color or African Americans
• Native Americans
• Caucasians or Non-Hispanic Whites
• Hispanics & Latinos
• Asians

AND...  if I am not mistaken, there are...

people of color in ever country for the most part...

there are white people living in other countries...

there are Asians and others...

BUT... only in America do we classify the races...

In AMERICA, I see a country that is tearing itself apart with ideologies and hatred and the guest for MONEY, POWER, and CONTROL has left us fighting each other instead of becoming unified...

AND...  if we are really serious, then the term Americans pertains to all residents of the AMERICAS which includes:

• Canada
• United States of America
• Central America
• South America

AND...  while we are fighting each other to maintain the sanctity of our individual races, the following areas are suffering:

1. EDUCATION
2. HEALTHCARE
3. FREEDOMS
4. POVERTY
5. DISABLED VETERANS

WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST OF ALL IS...

we talk and talk about more and more people having free college education but we do not talk at all about the QUALITY of that EDUCATION...  and, it really does not matter how many people have college degrees if they learned very little when competing with the rest of the world whose countries took their education seriously and improved the QUALITY...

We can offer healthcare to more and more people to show everyone how great we are, but if the efficacy and quality are not there from the getgo then all we have done is mislead the general public, giving them something they don't need or that does not help...

SIMPLY GIVING MORE COLLEGE EDUCATION AND MORE HEALTHCARE TO MORE AND MORE PEOPLE...  DOES NOT MAKE US SMART...  IT ACTUALLY MAKES US RATHER STUPID...  ONCE WE ARE COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH WHOM WE MUST COMPETE...

The US of A is RACIST or So I've Been Told by Blacks

The African Americans, Blacks, American Blacks, People of Color...  BUT NEVER JUST
AMERICANS, would have you believe that all Caucasians or White Crackers or Honkies are racists because several white policemen were racially biased and motivated.

Using this logic then all BLACKS are like MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. and his followers which we KNOW FOR ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY is not the case here in America...

So, why do we have this CONTRADICTION in how the blacks perceive each other and the white Americans with whom they have chosen to live, work, die, and defend against foreign aggression?

If all white Americans were like those racist cops then more black people would be DEAD....

If all black people were like MLK Jr., then there would be no violent protesting or white cops DEAD...

• But, neither case is true
• And, neither case has been true
• And, neither case will be true in this country

BECAUSE WE HAVE RACISM ON BOTH SIDES...

Black People and all of those Blacks who want to use their COLOR as an EXCUSE for their FAILURES will ALWAYS CLAIM that the majority race with whom they live are RACIST AS A WHOLE.

Let me make one thing perfectly CLEAR...

• I don't live with Blacks
• I don't live with African Americans
• I don't live with People of Color
• I don't live with Native Americans
• I don't live with Asians
• I don't live with Hispanics or Latinos

I LIVE WITH CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ALWAYS WILL NO MATTER WHAT I'M BEING TOLD... by Blacks or anyone else for that matter...
