Re: Aboriginal rights - Traditional Healing

Sorry CDNBear, have to learn to research better. Will post in future on existing thread - after reading!

*merged*

Please do as moving/merging and searching for the originals cuts into my fapping duties. thanks.

 

[petros]

You thought wrong.

 

[gerryh]

I'm sure I've been told before that "First Nations" don't get special treatment what so ever.

 

[petros]

Don't believe anything you're told. Question everything.

 

[gerryh]

oh ya, and you wanna see how "First Nations" perpetuate racism with their youth? Take a look at this APTN series.

[CDNBear]

well then, I guess everyone and their dog can now use what ever mumbo jumbo they want to non treat their kids. Or is this more of the "non existent" special treatment for injuns.

I think that's fair.

for everyone?

Sure, why not?

APTN

You have to love all the mixed race kids in that show. See the little blue eyed boy with a dirty blonde mohawk in the classroom scene, that could've literally been me as a kid.

To funny!

Where did they get the dark ones? The prairies?

and you also notice the attitude towards non "pure bloods"? What the main characters Dad said about the one girls Mother who had left the reserve to marry a "whitey"? The attitude of the main character towards relationships with "white boys"?

Nah, there's still some thick genes around the river.

The St Lawrence Mohawks are always good for a laugh though.

I popped in on a friend from here that was working at Indian Affairs in Toronto. She stood out like a sore thumb.

Yep, that's why I thought it was funny. The irony was palpable. I wasn't really surprised to see that APTN produces garbage TV aimed at a specific demographic.

You know what else makes me laugh? If you reversed the roles and races, some Injins would lose their sh*t.

Lose their shirt is an understatement, as I have seen it happen.


I guess what hits close to home, is that my Grandmother could be the woman that left the reserve for her white "boyfriend". ostracized and stripped by her own "people". But, WTF eh, when injuns do it, it's a-ok.

 

[CDNBear]

Who said that?

 

[gerryh]

Who said that?

obviously those that support APTN, since APTN supports that attitude.

 

[taxslave]

Caribbean.

Ahhh.

Is this like those that support crime because they watch Law and Order, or support NBC?

 

[petros]

AhhhPTN
