Is the Native American Struggle = or > than the African American Struggle?

[HiphopRelated]

No point comparing atrocities, but smh @ the ignorance being displayed in downplaying what the Indians went through.

The reason they were given some form of "reparations" is because their numbers were so damn meager by the time the cacs were done with them and basically put them out of sight, out of mind. Hence the "When's the last time natives were relevant" post. Everything is economics. Those couple checks being tossed to "qualifying" natives are a drop in the bucket.

If you include the people below the US border and the Caribbean islands you will see that real Americans are far from extinct.

and here is a little glimpse into life on a reservation for anybody who is interested.



but i just say if your born poor and non-white especially if your dark skinned then your life will be a struggle.

The Mayan and the Aztec ARE NOT native americans simply because they ARE NOT native to North America or South America. They are native to mexico and some parts of the Andes Mountains, therefore they are called mexicanas which gave mexico its name.

Native American is the name given to the race of people that were native to the Americas. They were incorrectly called Indians for years. How you don't know this shyt?

Somewhere this argument took a turn

Technically, speaking, the natives that lived in North, Central, and South America are all native Americans. But I thought this argument was who got it worse between the black slaves in the US and native Americans here in the US


Regardless, this thread is an example why our education system is lagging far behind in the elementary to high school levels compared to other countries.

Dawg... You didn't graduate pass 2nd grade, huh? Mexico is apart of "North America" and then Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama are right below Mexico and they are called "Central America"... Followed by South America...


There is a reason why Canada, US, and Mexico are apart of NAFTA (NORTH AMERICAN Free Trade Agreement).
