"A person would never see a White person doing Native American dancing, unless the person had some Native American ancestry in them." Cody, lots of whites in my area do the Native American dancing, have retreats and all sorts of things. Only about 3 miles from my house is a sweat lodge, owned and run by a white lady. In fact when he has time my son and his friend (the friend is Mexican and my son is white (mostly Scottish and English) are going to build a sweat lodge in my back field, along with a rock labyrinth. The labyrinth is not Native American of course.
Then you should walk up to some black people - especially men - and ask your question IN PERSON, face to face.
That wouldn't make any sense, since my question is with an unsupported statement made by one person appointed by the Obama Administration. If I felt the need to ask anyone else about it, which I don't, I'd ask my grandkids or their father, except that I know they're not afraid of trees.
I'm pretty sure I could point to threads whose topics were far less emergent. Do you really believe that black people don't like national parks because trees remind them of their ancestors being lynched?
@Ken Anderson Uh...no I do not. The silliness of such a notion was pointed out to you several times in this thread by me and several others.
It's becoming really clear how many people do not take the time to to read the link of the tread or post. Soon I'll be expecting to hear that the Government is closing down all the national parks because they are offensive to black people because the trees remind them of lynchings.
There are times when actually reading the posts or the stories linked to in a post would serve only to deprive people of their need to be offended.
Now, yer sayin' folks have some kind of innate need to be offended? Mebbe yer onto something there! Frank
Mostly, they pretend to be offended because that is often an effective way of discouraging people from stating opinions they disagree with, but have no logical arguments against. That's what political correctness is all about.
