well, when i went to a tea party all i saw was our president being mocked and hanging him or should i say using the racist mocking of the KKK. Maybe your to young to remember what it was like in the 60′s when we had no right to vote and they were making us less than human. they have trouble seeing a person of color as a authority figure.Your idea on communist is what whites said about Martin Luther King and Chavez. What is communism? Do you believe Jesus was a person of color or white?
If you think the people at the Indian schools were not Christians,i suggest your read ” Kill the Indian save the Man ” or “Education for extinction”. I have a christian minister who say I’m more christian than most christian. Maybe but i live with with being honest and charity for all. I was raised in a catholic rectory. but i have grown to understand what my grandparents have taught me. middle eastern religions see a god a man like themselves We see god as a Mystery beyond our understanding. More people have been killed and ruined by middle eastern religions than any other thing, Native people don’t fight over religion , its to personal! Thanks

Your christian follower have used your religion for evil things then, why don’t you show them the errors of there ways. but that has been the way for a long time . In the founding of this country they used your religion to say god had given then the right to take our land and do what they wanted to do with what they wanted. Read, Education for Exctintion. it was the plan on kids like me who were not Indian Adults. Make them christian and look like white people. take there language and religion or let them die. Not such a christian way? Show them how they are wrong. They hate Obama because he’s not a good boy and they are Rasist because they can’t see a person of color as an Authority figure. Most of his Ideas are really old Republicans ideas. Nixon, Teddy, and even more current 80′s republicans.
The occupied folk are well intended but have no issue or leader. They the 1% have ripped off the middle class but have no idea what to do. I just read that 97% of the 1% are white males. Its the new slavery of our times. Not what the American of Kennedy saw as America. { I worked for him as a volunteer in my 20′s)

Thanks for the info, but understand that. its mans word of what of what is called god. In the book of Thomas it say, Jesus said” heaven is spead on the earth, Man doesn’t see it.”this is the same as Native People believe. Remember the bible was written 90 to 100 years After the Jesus’s times. That why its called a Belief not the Facts or truth. They know now that there was a rift between the Nostic view and the what would be called fundimentalist. One was to see the Enlightenment in you the other the other was to worship him. For me i don’t believe gods on an ego trip. I’ll seek enlightenment !

Wow, are you incorrect in your assessment of Christian Conservatives and those of us Tea Party members that also happen to be people “of color”. You should know better. Barack Obama and the rest of his far out, left wing pinko ilk are for creating all powerful centralized Godless government where rights are dictated by the State. For people who have been screwed over by the government for as long as we have, I would think we would embrace the small government, pro-freedom movement that is the Tea Party. I have never experienced the racism you describe among these folks. Now I’d be interested to know what you think of the so called “Occupy” movement that has been supported by Commuists, Nazi, racists and anti-Semites. I have a Spanish name too, but I am not from Spain and neither were my ancestors. But I am a proud Christian Conservative. Furthermore, I do not believe for one second that the Conquistadors or the so called Christian whites that taught in the Indian schools were real followers of Jesus. These people were utterly ignorant of Christ’s teachings and had no love in them.

Well, we have seen what has happened. You are starting to have the same enviornment that we had just before the civil war. We can see that stupidity is back and we will have to fight the battles of the sixties and the civil war. Some republican’s want a recall of 14th and 16th amendments as well as Poll tests.

Primo-

Kind of wondering, the elections coming up in November is going to require the reelection of the things Obama wants to do. Its quite apparent the bigots are indeed the party called the T Party. We need to invigorate the masses that voted for Obama. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the Republicans are a BIG bump on the road and a blockage to progress. We who voted for change have been watching the Republican party deliberately attempting to destroy progress. We the Black, Brown and Yellow races are a majority and we can again authorize Obama to proceed with his dream, a dream shared by all of us .

thanks for insight. Just educate them , The word Mexican comes from the Indian word for people of the valley “Me xica” the x is said as “SH”. I remember a women saying to me “oh , I’m Mexican not Indian. When i told her that its a Indian word she got mad!

Having many friends in the southwest I am always amazed that native americans wish to be called Mexican. Mexican is a nationallity and not a race. They may be of Mexican culture but unless they have duel citizenship they are not Mexican
