Wow, good idea. But here's the catch budzo, I don't see many Native Americans running for president in your American elections. If they so rightfully deserve the spot of president, why ain't they even trying to get it? Obviously even they know its too much to handle.

Thank you for this honest insight!
We need a Native president....Hell the white man dont give a shit anymore and the Negros are just too lazy and drug ridden to care if they get off of the couch or not!
Yes we are the "True" Americans.....
Wow, again with the natives would make a better president speech. But I don't see any natives in the election, I don't recall ever seeing any natives running for pres, which means that you " true americans" ain't doing much of an effort, if your not trying why should we respect yous.

The white Imperalism is putting the natives down and thats why that you don't see no natives presidents because of the white ruling class who runs a english language country! If they could run! i bet they will be better then any other president who was ever running the country before him or her as president of the U.S. Native Americans were ruling these lands before the whites ever ruled it! and they are still ruling their native American nation with pride!
But that's the thing, they can run! They can go for president, anyone with the proper education can go for pres! Some black men have tried to go for pres despite all the racial tension, they knew their odds were not great but they went for it. Sure its easier for us whites because were the majority, sure we put natives down. But we never said they couldn't run for president, there is no law that forbids it. Its the natives with their lack of initiative that never make a move,all talk and no action. The blacks stepped up to the plate and they try hard and make it in a lot of jobs blacks couldn't go in before. They didn't stop because they were being put down by negative words.

I honestly don't know the answer to this question, but I'd like to know....Are we absolutely 100% positively sure none of the past presidents of this country don't have some kind of Native American Ancestry?

They might have some native blood in them, but that doesn't make them native. I don't know what percentage it takes to become native but I know its kinda obvious when you are native. Of course, I know a white girl that is a native so, yeah. But its a good point you make there.

Historians are still arguing that point but it should be the first people who once control this land should be Native Americans and the one who is controling the land now should be recognized as Immigrant Americans.
I'll buy that, to a degree. Hasn't it been established that the earliest known people here in the western hemisphere arrived here from Siberia via the ice covered Bering Strait? Does that not make these people immigrants, as well? I'm not trying to be a ballbuster, but where does the earliest anthropological migration end, and immigration begin? And if controlling the land is criteria, then the earliest people were scattered across the hemisphere in individual tribes, with occasional instances of loose confederations.There was no control established by any people until the founding of this country. Whether that was for better or worse is open to argument.

Because European christians back in the day got the natives all drunked up and brainwashed them using torture. Those who didn't succumb to the brainwashing were massacred. Talk about freedom. Now in order to keep them out of politics we so graciously allow them to live on reservations where they don't have so many Federal regulations to follow. In all honesty we would probably be better off with a Native American president. In my experience, Native Americans are more in touch with the principles of humanity than any politician I know of. Progress is the root of all evil.

Lets not forget its the natives who introduced us white folks to drugs, so they got their bad stuff too. And who gives a crap how in touch they are with principals, none of em ever run. Obviously if none run for pres they ain't up to the challenge, doesn't that say anything to you people?

Native Americans are the first people of the continent! They sould have the rights to become a president of any country on this continent. They have white presidents and soon it will be a black president so i say it should be a native American president because they are more American then American Immigrants!
Native Americans have not been fighting for much of anything. In the small areas where they live,(reservations) they just want to servive in thier small little groups. The history of their ancestors is very terrifying and unlike American Blacks, They feel safe keeping a low profile. The black race may go down, but they always come back twice as strong.

As relunctant as I am to agree with you, that is a very good point. We may have different points of views but blacks always did fight for rights. Even if I find personally they got too much rights as it is, they always fight for more. Most indians just sit on their asses in their reserves profiting from free hunting and cheap bews and smokes.

And them natives gave enough drugs to keep a lot of whites stoned out of their minds, so we even. Not all indians are alcooliques, just like not all whites are druggies. But many are!
