My mother is Cherokee Indian, my daddy, who is deceased, was Cajun.  I can sympathize with the people of the black race who were sold by their own people as slaves.  However, when I read about the mistreatment the Indians endured, and the Cajun's as well, I find fault with the black race for the mere belief that they were the only race treated poorly.  The Cherokee nation moved on with their lives and struggled to do the best they could with what they had to work with.  The Cajun people were also denied by the French and cast aside.  Everything they owned was taken from them, including lives.  The black people who are still whinning about being slaves had no part to play in that episode.  That was nearly two-hundred years ago...forget it and move on.  The reality is, the government wants to keep the two dominant races (black and white) against each other.  Always focusing on who done what to who, keeping our minds muddled with nonsense so that we as a Nation can be sold out.  Look around!  It's happening at this very moment.  At least as blacks you have the right to mix and mingle.  You have the right to be part of society.  Does the Cherokee and Cajun have those same rights?  If so, then why are they on reservations and living in the bayou's?  We need to move on and stop the name calling.  Regardless of our heritage, some how or other we have all paid a price to be where we are today.  Think about it before you call me "whitety" or treat me with disrespect because of something that happened so long ago in history that it falls in the catagory of...not my fault.  Nor is it your fault.  The faults we have are the ones created by hatred one to the other.  Only  we as God's children can correct those faults.
