In some ways I do. I appreciate my rights, but I don't appreciate what our founding fathers let happen to the Cherokee Nation. A people that really tried to help us, and were continually taken away from.
I'm an American by birth, but by heart, I'm human. And in no way is it right to overtake another mans land through blood, sweat, and beads.
Granted, I have no clue how South Africa became segregated. I only know that it is. And because of that knowledge, I wonder how it became that way. And is any segregation right - anywhere?

All I'm saying about the article is, if they feel obligated to gain back dignity, and freedom, they should have Gods blessing. If it is over a racial discrimination, then they won't.

Killing innocents will never return dignity OR freedom, irregardless of what sort of Clymers their ancestors were.

Anyone who can't see that for the obvious truth is, frankly, a Clymer.

You know why white Europeans came over to the new world and took it from Native Americans? 'Cause we beat the Asians and Africans to it. If the American Indians had the technology they would have landed in Europe and done the same to our Ancestors. There are no innocents in history and I will be damned if I will feel guilty for anyone else's actions, ancestor or not.
