Native Americans

I cannot believe that their are still arrogant and ignorant people out there, who feel that they hate Native Amercans. Comments like "go back to your reservation" and that they have "no tolerance for pain" is just madness. The Native Americans owned the land before the white people and therefore non indian people do not have the right to insult the Native Americans. And as for no tolerance of pain. They have felt pain both physically and emotionally for years and years, and to this day they are still feeling the pain of being forced to live on the reservations, on the little amount of land and money that your Governement allows them to have. It is horrendous what the Native Americans have gone through in history and stll to the present day. Read the "Trail of tears" and then tell me that they have no tolerance to pain.
I am from the UK and I try to follow the Native American Culture to the best I can. I will always respect and admire their culture, and I am ashamed at the way the land was taken from them and the way in which their families were slaughtered by the white man. I certainly dont think we can be taking the moral high ground.
Who ever thinks bad of Native Americans, go read some books and educate yourself. You may surprise yourself and start to respect them instead of insulting them.
