Tell me about the first of your ancestors who came here. Where were they
from? What countries?
I have direct Native American ancestors on both sides of my family,
one within two generations. Which legally allows me to claim Native
American status.

So with that in mind...

EVERYBODY GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!!!!
So you're 100% Native American?
Didn't say that - I said legally claim Native American as my ethnic
choice. I suppose, although I've never looked into it, that I could
also claim Hispanic also as one of the Grandmothers is Mexican.


Are you really saying that if anyone states that they have any Native
American blood in them at all, that they can claim that status? Where
ARE we going to put those millions upon millions of casinos?

And where did those Native Americans come from?
Mars.


Typical.......

lol, the Indian casinos can only be placed on Indian reservations. Even
if you are 100% Native American, you can not open a casino off of the
reservation. Do you try to be so humorous or does it just come naturally.


Show me that concrete mix design that has 2500# of Portland cement in
it, and weighs better than two tons, and we'll go from there......

Now, that's why I asked where are we going to put those casinos. There
is only so much reservation land. And I'm sure that all of us that have
any tiny bit of Native American blood in us would like to open one up!
I sure would! I guess, seeing how I have just a trace of N.A. blood in
me, I'll go to Cherokee, NC and join that nation.

I believe Navajo is the preferred spelling, although your version is
sometimes found in English writings.
Either spelling is correct usage for Anglos. The Native Americans
themselves tend not to use either word amongst themselves. The word
derives from Tewa Navahú, the name referring to a large area of land and
to the people who lived on the land. Navajo is a Spanish word, coined as
part of the phrase Apaches de Navajo, which the 17th Century Spaniards
used to differentiate one Apache band and area from another.


....which indirectly explains the "J" in Navajo: It's sounded the way we
pronounce "H".



Hey! I saw some of that LC 45 stuff at a show a few months ago, but I
forgot what the "good price" you wanted was. I think this stuff was $15 a
box of 20. Does that sound about right?


That's the normal price for a box of 20 brand name hollow points. For
practice ammo, a hideous price is $18-$22 for 50 rounds.

Speaking of .45 LC, you would be really happy if you bought my S&W model
25-2. It's got a 4" barrel, and came with a spare 6" barrel that was never
installed. Includes original wood grips, but I removed them to install a set
of Hogue grips. Also, a lovely Bianchi Cyclone holster. $600 + whatever our
local dealers charge for doing all the stupid paperwork. Usually $20-$30.

It's a sweet gun, but I need something smaller. Probably one of the compact
Kahr pieces.

LOL,
The Cherokee Nation owns the reservation and they run the casino, it is
not up to each Native American to deciede if he wants to open a casino.

Have you still not figured that a yard of concrete can weigh over 4000lbs?

ps When I said Portland Cement weighed approx. 2500 lbs, I was referring
to Portland Cement, I never said or hinted that one would put 2500 lbs
of Portland Cement into a yard of concrete mix.

Have you looked over your concrete mixes to see that it is very common
for a yard of concrete to weigh approx. 4000 lbs?

One would not expect a PE to make sure a mistake.

I know the FACTS about concrete. Do you need me to cut and paste some
mix designs for you to prove that a yard of concrete almost never
weighs two tons? Now, what about that 2500# of Portland cement in a
yard of concrete? Please provide some data to show this.

Now, as part OF the Cherokee nation, each individual has a say in it's
enterprises. But, you are forgetting the gist of the message here. Just
because someone has any little tiny bit of N.A. blood in them, doesn't
make them instantly able to be a part of such.

No, it is not. Need proof? And if I show proof, will you admit your
mistakes? And where is that 2500 pounds of Portland cement per yard
used? Please show some criteria for your two tons, and your 2500 pounds
of Portland.

A City’s Violence Feeds on Black-Hispanic Rivalry
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16 — The Latino gang members were looking for a black
person, any black person, to shoot, the police said, and they found one.
Cheryl Green, perched near her scooter chatting with friends, was shot dead
in a spray of bullets that left several other young people injured.


This is the fault of whites, of course.

She was 14, an eighth grader who loved junk food and watching Court TV with
her mother and had recently written a poem beginning: “I am black and
beautiful. I wonder how I will be living in the future.”


"How white of her".

Rabbi Allen Freehling, executive director of the Los Angeles Human Relations
Commission, a group created after the 1965 riots, said the recent growth in
hate crimes reflected a failure by government and community leaders to
prepare residents for socioeconomic changes in many neighborhoods, “and
therefore people have a tendency to lash out, out of desperation.”


The Watts riots were the fault of whites, responsible authorities
declared it so!

In November, three Latino gang members received sentences of life in federal
prison for crimes that included the murder of two black men — one waiting
for a bus, another searching for a parking spot — and assaults on others in
a conspiracy to intimidate black residents of a northeast Los Angeles
neighborhood.


Perhaps "Latinos" are confused and need to be "educated" to kill whites
instead of blacks, like the native-born Latinos do?
