Thursday, November 15, 2012 11:39:06 AM I fail to see why this is racist. It is a traditional costume. If she had been dressed as geisha or in a toga would that also have been racist? |

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 11:16:33 AM ya i hate America. why do i live here? becues it my land. What a line of junk. Let's say I have an apple, and John Smith takes that apple from me. In addition, because John Smith has an army that would easily obliterate me, I have no hope of ever recovering that apple. Who's apple is it? The apple is now John's. |

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 8:32:31 AM If that's actually him then I don't agree with you posting that. Perhaps you are right. I myself debated it to begin with but rationalized it by thinking that it is his responsibility to safeguard such information. Either way, since I trust your opinion on non-economic matters, I have removed it. |

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 7:34:36 AM @dm: I know what healing circles are. For certain things, like substance abuse, I agree. However, (and I'm not sure of the specifics on this) there have been many cases of a First Nation person committing a crime and only being sentenced to a healing circle. That's BS. |

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 5:50:27 AM So although Americans may not remember them, we certainly do. Whether that's because you killed most in your land or forced them to come up here I don't know. |

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 5:48:53 AM @Camael: People in Canada are constantly reminded of First Nation's people. I live in a province with a very high number of them, shame is, not only are they poor and have problems with substance abuse like black people in the US, they also ACT like black people in the US (not all do, but ones in the cities seem to). When I was a teen I went to a Snoop concert and after a whole bunch kept calling him "my n*gger" Snoop actually reminded them that they weren't black. That being said, our government makes a big deal out of honouring and respecting them and their culture, so much so that cultural traditions such as "healing circles" are used to treat people with substance abuse problems, or even as a form of "punishment" for some actual crimes. This I do not agree with though, because I think healing circles are BS. |
