This is highly debatable.

I have serious doubts that any of the aboriginal peoples of the Americas would be living even remotely like they ‘always have been’ given their druthers.

the Rcmp have been dealing with us for years, they have experience. The Police are just new to us so they do not know, it seems they dont even bother.
Us natives are trying to support ourselves, it is the government that seems reluctant to let us be..If it were up to us we be surviving like we always have been.

I admit there are white males that act normal, but who really knows which one is the one who will kill your baby?

I admit there are Scottish grandmothers that act normal, but who really knows which one is the one who will kill your baby?

I admit there are apostate Mormons from Arizona that act normal (on occasion when they aren’t spewing racist filth) but who really knows which one is the one who will kill your baby?

Not sure where you get the idea referring to “all of the comments”. Read them all and you will find that most of them are not blaming First Nation people nor ever have for what was done to them.

You are right, this is not taught in school (or certainly was not when I was in school) but I am fortunate enough to teach my own children and they will learn the truth. Are learning it. And my children have aboriginal ancestry.

I don’t have blue eyes nor is my life perfect. Pretty good, yes, but never was it perfect. Nor are most people. Again, racism come from everywhere. Not just from one angle.

Also it is very ignorant to say it is an Aboriginals fault that they brought it upon themselves. you need to wake up and open your blue eyes and figure it out!, it’s in the past, something middle schools and university did not teach; about the real canadian history about Aboriginal people, I suggest you people do some readings written by real authors who know about aboriginal people before you make such ignorant remarks. It’s called colonization and residential schools i suggest you people do some research or talk to real indians who know about the real truths of why Aboriginal people populize the correctional institutions and live in poverty. Here’s some good advice take classes in Indigenous studies at universities, could help to open your narrow mindedness.

All Muslims? That is very sad that you feel that way. Very sad. And you say you are not racist.

I guess I would have to read the Koran to know that kind of answer. Regardless of what the Koran teaches, these Muslims preach death to us. Koran or not Koran, I still theink they are evil and need to be watched.
