um. dude. seriously? more often than not people are more willing to say NO than anything, but what one has to understand is that, at this point it's not about "who was here first" or anything. When Obama was just "senator Obama", he referred to the natives as "the first Americans", however, not a one thing i have looked up on Google can point me in the directions of an application for native American reparations. infact the u.s. gov't has apologized for many things; slavery, Hawaii, etc. , but nothing for the "first Americans". as i stated before, it's now not a concern of "who was here first", it's a concern of this(and bear in mind, there is no hidden racial bias here); "African "Americans"" are NOT native to this country. they were brought here in slave ships and forced into years and years of slavery. HOWEVER, they DO get reparations if their pre-existing relatives were directly affected by slavery. "native Americans" WERE native to this country and were not proportionately, as the "native africans", but ABSOLUTELY RAPED of their land, culture, AND future! SO, then why is it so hard for me to find information on this? why can i not find an application to apply for "first amercian" reparations? you see, it really isn't acceptable for us completely and utterly ignore the fact that a one race who suffered an atrocity CAN flourish, while another race suffering still from a similar atrocity by the same hands should just phase out of existence without receiving proper dues.
