  1. The "we are all immigrants" tag phrase is being used extensively by many prejudiced and hateful people against the First Nations communities in numerous public forums. I respect the extensive research and acknowledge the information being used to expand peoples viewpoints on this theory for the origins of humans in North America. The control of the dominate culture to assimilate the First Nations has been going on for hundreds of years, and the claiming everyone is an immigrant is just another angle. On a similar line of thought by other special interest groups, being gay has been removed from the DSM V as a mental illness. Keep in mind there is also extensive credible research and medical information which clearly identifies any person becoming gay as a choice, learned behaviors, and absolutely not genetic or biologically created. If you look hard enough on the internet, you can find any information you want to support any position. Many people just parrot the words, not understanding the origin or the meaning behind them. I am not an immigrant, but I am a brother to all people and would always hold my hand out to anyone who needed help. That is what God the Creator gave to mankind - intelligence, kindness and love. My last post for this site.
  2. It is a good first step, but beware of the magicians slight of hand. This is something a rallying cry can be built around for many of the Trump supporters and while everyone is focusing on the left hand (and the ban order) the right hand is negating the LGBTQ2 rights. He already did this when he slipped in the cuts to funding of pro-choice and abortion in his first 2 days of office. The announcement was not made until a full day after the fact, and then another executive order had been signed which refocused everyone away from women's rights. This is a well orchestrated process going on.
  3. Cole, I'm a red neck Albertan - and Alberta is known in western Canada as the "red neck province," and we are proud of it. One of our greatest Premiers, Peter Lougheed, stood up to the province of Ontario in the 70's when they demanded a deal on oil prices because they were central Canada. Our red neck Premier's response, which was printed in the headlines of newspapers till this day was "let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark." There is no social stigma applied to the term of endearment unlike other typical applications. My apologies if it confused you. The immigrant comment made has been made by many, many people in an attempt to deny the First Nations status before the dominate culture of today. This is the argument put forth by many to justify the dominant culture's control of the land today after taking it from the First Nations. The belief of the people presenting the argument is the First Nations were only immigrants and didn't actually own the land so the Europeans were justified in their claiming it as their own. If you wish to go back further and claim humans were immigrants on the planet. that might work - but we weren't (that I'm aware of, lol - although it would explain some people). Even if you look to the Bible or the First Nations stories of man, none of them were immigrants either - they were placed on this planet to thrive. Unfortunately, this immigrant point and the term red neck are purely western Canadian terminology and background and would be unfamiliar to other locations.
  4. I'm sorry - but this is the opinion of the dominant culture. The Native Americans were here, and had respect for the land provided by mother earth. There were First Nation civilizations throughout North America which were in many cases socially and culturally years ahead of the now dominate culture. The Europeans came to this land to find gold, wealth and land which could be claimed under their law. No where else in the world where one force conquered another was there ever the claim "they were immigrants too." Your comment is directly proportional in the magnitude to Hitler's claim that Germany "needed room to grow." Or do you justify the RCMP going into First Nations communities and taking the children in midnight raids until the 70's - sending the children into the US or other non-native homes? I'm an Albertan in Saskatchewan. Treaty 6 and 7 in our provinces are different than what the United States did with the First Nations. These two treaties share the land, but retained ownership with the Crown in the concept "we are all treaty people" to live together. There is a lot more history about what the dominant culture has done to the first nations, the real truth hidden, the victor writing the text books for schools. Trump would call it "False news" or his information "Alternate facts." History is being rewritten again, by the new dominant culture - and he will be writing the new text books - the way he wants too. That would be with out modern immigrants of all cultures, women back to the days of 1Timothy 2:12 ‘do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.’ (meaning subservient, barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen), and the LGBTQ2 community being controlled or worse. Do you really want to isolate other potential allies like the First Nations in a human rights fight? The LGBTQ2 people need friends from every sector, even the red neck Albertans. Sorry my first post is such a contentious topic.
