Beyonce Homage to Black Panthers

They had 90% of their population wiped out by the European settlers and then were forced to walk thousands of miles to reserves which they were forced to live on.

It wasn't until 1924 where they were allowed to become US citizens and did not get full rights until 1948.

Well at least your bringing some actual knowledge to the table, but if your wondering why they aren't out there committing as much crime as black americans than its because there simply isn't as many left.

Or it is because they still live on their reservations that are not governed by state law.

Have you got a comparison of crime rate between native americans and black americans?

No but there are hardly any natives left in america to begin with so you know....

i swear,i'm actually scared of this generation. maybe it's all the white guilt that's getting to them. they're stereotypying black people and dismissing african american history and the effects racism has on black people. they're talking about how violent the black panthers were when they share the same race as hitler,stalin, the kkk etc

Mainly caused by the diseases they brought with them, which were in turn brought to Europe through trade with Asia

So they mostly died of disease as opposed to brutal treatment; this undermines a point earlier made hmmm plot thickens....

This is a stupid comparison honestly, you're going to compare that to slavery+Jim crowa and the black codes? all of which were implemented to ensure the second class status of black people in america. I honestly despise statements like "get over it" like it was no big deal, the slavery of your ancestors had nothing to do with the colour of their skin.

The point was that the past is the past, you have to move on.

The American slaves were freed in 1865. That is more than ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY years ago.

Now you point to the black codes and Jim Crow provisions. They only applied to the former Confederacy, so any African American in three quarters of the US was not subject to them, and those in the South could freely move to a former non slave State at any time And many did.

Further they were all abolished, finally, in 1965. MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AGO.

So I ask you, why are current day African Americans so prone to drugs, and gangs and crime and killing each other?

There is significant positive discrimination. Work hard and it is much easier for an African American to get into Harvard than a white of the same intelligence.

Because there is this glorying in victim hood, that is why. This playing on white guilt and production of the race card.

The world is a tough place, and compared to black people in most parts of it, African Americans are in a great position.. The American Dream is there for anyone, black or white. And ironically Beyonce herself, the source of this thread is living it.

Are you stupid? you've decided to see only what you want to see and dont deserve my attention this evening.

I'm sorry, should they have stood around and watched whilst their family members were attacked? You keep referring to 'the actions of the black panthers'. Two or three bad apples should never be used to completely write off a group of people banding together for a cause. For example, Christians and Crusades. At the time, maybe the only way to gain attention for their cause was through violence. Within the Black Lives Matter movement, there are some violent protesters. It is understandable but not acceptable. However the majority of the movement are peaceful in their dealings with the police.
