'Thank an Indian' shirt generates intense reaction

Which is great. As time goes on, the effects of the past will smooth out. Certainly the best way to slow that process is differential treatment.
I wonder how many people will be willing to argue with you about them, instead of a school girl?
Not many likely, but you can never adequately predict the response of stupid people.
That's just cuz you wanna sexy wrassle with me, lol.
The kids in her school decided to make their own shirts in support. They will say "We are all treaty people'.
PS welcome back. I hope work is going well for you.
Yep, just some down time today due to snow. The WoT server I was on went down, so I figured I'd drop by while I heated up my lunch.
And that's the thing.... we all got signed into this perpetual agreement that, well, sucks balls. White, french, native, recent immigrant, doesn't matter. We got signed up whether we wanted to or not. I find it weird that as Idle No More is pushing to educate people about what it really means, people like Tittler are freaking out and crying discrimination.
Things are changing rapidly on the prairie. F'N men and women are taking full advantage of the opportunities that weren't available before. The animosity is dying off with the old and the faces of the communities are FN and white.
In another 10 years poverty a sh*tty memory. Any poverty will be by choice. There are no longer any excuses.
Tilter is against racism but just has an odd way of going about trying alleviate the problem. She has this thing about legal equality so she says.
Thanks for dropping by. What are you building?
Sounds to me like what she has is a case of 'where's my drama'? I'll go read up on her cause and see if anything convinces me otherwise.
Nonsense. The only infinitely renewable resource is excuses.
I don't mind racism. If you're stupid enough to believe that a person can be accurately judged by melanin content, I'd like to know that up front. Saves time.
And the "poor poor victimised whites" crew are always good for a laugh.
All one has to do is watch the rail yards. If the trains are moving, so is the economy. Mining's picking up, contract mining companies from Ont are sending more equip west.
Hell, they're buying it from around the world, rebuilding it, and selling it to the west.
I'm more of a libertarian bent, so I think she should be able to wear what she pleases. Then again, that means I would also support a shirt said that said "Not swinging from the trees--thank a white guy!" I think that would be a stupid and divisive shirt to wear--as is this one--but I would support the right of someone to wear it.
As for the actual truth of the claim, the relationship with the First Nations in Canada was primarily poeaceful. However the reality is that, if the First Nations had not sigend treaty, the British/French/proto-Canadains would have just pushed them aside the way the Americans did.

I dig the humour. Has about the same effect on me as standing behind someone wearing a hat with "native pride" stencilled across the back. I dig the native pride, in truth the culture in general but I can't help but wonder if he were standing behind me would he dig it if my hat said "white pride"?
If white pride wasn`t already hijacked, I`d say go for it.
Short term rebuilding.
