Live with it. Not all those "assholes" were "assholes". It was those "assholes" that stopped those Indian "assholes" from constantly trying to kill one another just for the sport of it. Try and give some credit to people like Cornwallis and others instead of always trying to appear to be oh so emotional and politically correct and attacking them any chance you can get. I as a white person does not need to be reminded constantly of what other white people did in the past. I as a white person had nothing to do with what happened in the past. To keep reminding me of what some white people did in the past comes close to being an act of racism. Just saying. Quote

taxme Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Posted February 22, 2018 I would prefer to stop giving those Indians any more tax dollars. They only blow it and never put that money to good use anyway except maybe to whine about how hard done by they are. Quote

We know you would, but then they are worth less than other Canadians according to you. For example the lie told by the previous administration about on-reserve school funding compared to provincial funding of schools in Ontario omitted the important fact that a high percentage of first nations children are in northern areas and the funding falls way short of provincial funding for students in northern communities.

If you say so...doubt anyone cares what you think, mind-you. What it boils down to is that had the Micmac not slaughtered British settlers for their French masters, there would have been no need to offer a bounty to the pro-British tribes for Micmac scalps...of which there was like...two...three...total handed-in. Not many, either way. Blown out of proportion next to the slaughtered settlers....more of them total. But, hey...they're the wrong skin colour for you to care about that... 1 Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

I never said that Indians were worthless. I just said that Canadians need to stop being forced to give their tax dollars/free money to the Indians where some of those tax dollars are being used to attack our British white history. What history has Indians have to be proud about? What did they ever do to make the world great? There is no doubt about it that Cornwallis and others did help to make their lives better something they will never admit ever. Will you at least admit that thanks to people like Cornwallis the native Indians are not killing each other anymore like they once did? Quote

That's the trouble with assigning victim-hood status to a party clearly involved in murderous behaviour of their own. For every victim there are oppressors...that must be the evil Europeans. Not the innocent Natives... One need only substitute the warring parties with others to see how stupid this whole affair is... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
