Dues? No one should be owed anything, life is tough. I think the Civil Rights movement and some of the black leaders of that time and prior to that time were very important and influencial. If you want a superb understanding of the black man's struggle after reconstruction read 'The Souls of Black Folk' by W.E.B. Dubois. I have learned a lot but I certainly would love to learn a lot more about this subject. I think it should be studied and not used for racist propaganda.LexiGirl75 said:Go to bed BuddyLee. Well think about this, What if the American Indians had retaliated smarter. I wasnt there and no one here was so we dont know if they could or couldn't have. Also, to me it doesnt seem like they go after their dues like black people did in the 60's and 1800's. I think it took all of that shoving to get blacks and whites to agree this much. And we do shove it down our own throats a lot too. Bill Cosby, Rosa Parks, and a range of others do remind us that we need to be more respectful and appreciated for what has been achieved for us. Especially voting rights and going out to the polls which a lot of black people do not do. Maybe you have heard it enough but there are still people who haven't.
Onto the Indians deal...
How could the Indians have retaliated smarter? If you fight back you die, so it comes down to extermination which Andrew Jackson was a big fan of or you pick your battles. I don't think the Indians stood a chance.
