Are you Native American? Did you grow up on a Reservation or in a Native American household? Were your parents Native American? Are you assuming to speak for Native America or are you just positing your own opinions and assuming we should just accept them as fact?

It's obvious to me that you don't know any Native Americans (or First Nation People as they're called, now) because, if you did, you wouldn't presume to insult and disrespect any of the First Nation people of this continent by presuming to know who and what we are and what we 'need to do' since you obviously don't know a damn thing! So, with that said, I strongly suggest you stop coming off like some brain-dead, arrogant, egotistical know-it-all Liberal who has the nerve to presume to know what's good for people you don't even know!

I have heard many different views concerning what to do about the American tyranny coming from many different Natives.

How dare you try to speak for all Natives?

And, I'm not surprised in the least that you knee-jerk reacted just like I expected you would, just like any other Supremacist Liberal who thinks they're better than everyone else and who, in their arrogance, has the gall to presume that they know what's good for everyone else.

Consider this before you throw another hissy fit at me: "What works for you could easily kill someone else." I bet you never considered that? But, then, literally millions of people all over the world have had their nations, their cultures and even their very lives ruined and destroyed by presumptuous little twits like you who "knew what was good for those people."

I know for a fact Jews and Christians played a pivotal role in the destruction of the First Peoples. How does it feel to be assimilated?

Ask the people who helped do it to you, the Scots and Irish. It sucks. You worship their God, and you go to their courts, speak their language, and boom! You are tied up in a legal system that views you as an expense. You, sir, are a time-suck of a user.

Huh... Grasping at straws now, are you? and how do you "know for a fact"? Yep! Your presumptuous, know it all arrogant "I know what's good for you" attitude is the very thing that'll get your ass beat at any reservation you go to just as soon as you open your mouth and say something stupid like, "I know for a fact."

Considering that my people have preserved and maintained our traditions and culture to a very great extent and work hard to continue that, I don't consider my "assimilation" any big deal since my "assimilation" is superficial at best.

"Ask the people who helped do it to you, the Scots and Irish. It sucks. You worship their God, and you go to their courts, speak their language, and boom! You are tied up in a legal system that views you as an expense. You, sir, are a time-suck of a user."

Wow, look at you! perfect and utterly faultless in every way, aren't you? I suppose you can be glad that no one will ever accuse you of ever having even the slightest bit of humility. You can't disprove what I said so, being the typical snowflake that you are, you try to goad me with insults, degradation and belittlement. Again, this is why Liberals like you are hated and always get your asses kicked on reservations because you come off like some kind of pompous Englishman talking to an African Native in the bush. Hey, whatever. Just keep it up and eventually you're going to find yourself with a very large knife between your ribs put there by a HUMAN BEING who will not put up with your pompous, know-it-all, arrogant shit.

"Considering that my people have preserved and maintained our traditions and culture to a very great extent and work hard to continue that, I don't consider my "assimilation" any big deal since my "assimilation" is superficial at best."

You are Christian, dude. You worship a Hebrew man who preached about a Hebrew god. How is that a "superficial assimilation"?

I have no interest in going to a reservation. My interests are in leaving this hell-hole of a place, as my ancestors should've done after a single generation of being here.

And what will you do in your new home? turn it into the very same kind of hell hole that you left? Also, I am a Christian and I'm happy, proud and pleased to be one since My Lord and Christianity have done far more for me in my life than you could ever possibly understand in your microscopic and very limited "world" view. (more like the view of a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of a deep well.) It would be a tremendous kindness to you if life, itself, so thoroughly kicked your ass and beat you down so hard that it entirely shattered and destroyed that enormous ego of yours and you were brought down to your right and proper size so you could finally see yourself as you really, truly are and shudder and scream in the sheer agony of that moment of absolute clarity.

You are horribly negative. I have known positive, driven, life-changing Christians before. They seem to get something from that religion. You just seem sad.

Thanks! I appreciate that. Since you don't know me personally, have never met me and don't even know me except through this one post that you responded to, that's a heck of a thing to say. I'm impressed that you could actually sit and spend so much time struggling to come up with that response.

You're right! On the surface I seem like an incredibly negative person full of bile and negativity. But, considering that we live in a world where pretty much everyone puts on a sickeningly saccharine well practiced and fake smile, glowing of joy and happiness in your face while they plot your demise then, yes, I can see how you'd get that impression. Actually, what you call "negative" is just what normal, honest people do when they're expressing themselves with openness and brutal honesty and directness.

Now, I'm glad you've known such happy Christians. Do they actually live what they preach? Maybe you should look into that.

I've known "upbeat, positive, driven, life-changing" Christians before, too. One is serving 20 years in prison for molesting the boys entrusted to him in a bible study class. Another was thrown out of a church for seducing and having sex with several of the wives of his fellow Christians, a third shot her husband to death when she found him in their bed with a thirteen year old girl and, finally, the last one stole 50,000 dollars out of Church funds, disappeared and has never been seen, again. Yep! Gotta love those "Cheerful, Upbeat, Driven" Christians who put on that lovely, smiling face and do the work of the devil whenever they get the chance. Finally, do you know any real Christians who actually strive to live the Word of God every day of their lives? I look forward to hearing your answer.

I always laugh hard at young people who say "I know for a fact." I laugh because only those who were there and who actually witnessed it first hand can actually claim that for any historical event and not come off sounding stupid. So, you were there to witness "Jews and Christians playing a pivotal role in the destruction of First Nation people"? Wow, you must be thousands of years old! Nah, you're not. You're just another pompous, anti-social incel misanthrope talking shit on social media trying to impress me with what you think is your own "greatness." Hey, if this board is still here in about ten years or so come back and read your posts and cringe hard when you read your stuff and realize how stupid you are right now.

More than anything else I'm reading an awful lot of hatred, self loathing and even jealousy in your post. Mostly hate, though. How sad you've been indoctrinated and programmed (like a mindless machine) to hate the country where you can wear 150 dollar sneakers while you text on a thousand dollar cell phone while sipping on a nice, hot seven dollar cup of coffee, (all of which is bought by your hard-working and very disappointed parents, of course. I mean, I'm sure you believe that you'll never reduce yourself to being a horrible little "wage slave".) Oh, my! What a horrible, hellish country we all live in, huh? ;)
