    I know gays exist… I treat ya with respect just like any other person. I just don’t like the fact that gay marriage is getting out into the public eye more than ever. I know that some gays want to be accepted or have their ways legitimized. I for one wish it never became an issue. I for one don’t care for the marriage issue, but there are kids that see all these things, and I would surely hate to have my own think that being gay is alright. I understand you have a right to be who you are….I also understand that I have a right to not accept your agenda. Sexual orientation needs to stay not in the closet but in the bedroom. You may believe in gay marriage and thats fine but you should be accepting also that there will be some people who don’t like the gay agenda.I just don’t want the whole gay issue to corrupt the children. That’s all.

    I think its because they are a hairy bunch (some but not all) and whenever they start to sweat the bacterica on their skin mixes with the sweat that is bound on their hair on their body which gives us a raw smell.

    I would say take the compliment and let it be. You don’t know if this person is trying to be offensive so don’t take it as offensive. Take the compliment for what it is…. a compliment.

    Its just a form of musical chanting but there is more to it than just a hey ya hey ya. It really depends not so much on the tribe, but where they are from. Singers from the Texas/Okla area sing different than tribes in the northern areas.

    I believe that you are correct in saying that reverse-discrimination exists. It is the double standard that seems to be all too much of a reality in the good ol’ U.S.A. What seems to be hurtful is that the very people (not all but some bad apples) whose ancestors were discriminated against seem to be the ones doing the same types of hurtful things to others because of their skin color. I believed Dr. Martin Luther King would be appalled at some of these actions that only set us back to a time of despair. What’s even worse is that it has only become acceptable because the people who are being hurt by the double standard take it! In that, I mean that if a white person says something to a person of color, and if the person of color gets offended, then that white person will usually get labeled a racist. Now, if a person of color says something like…’white men can’t jump’ you just might see the white man laugh a little or just nod acceptingly but usually in a way that refrains from making a situation hostile. This doesn’t apply to all situations but is only an example of one. One example that I was appalled at was the movie Undercover Brother. It was a funny movie, but had some serious racial issues. Did you see the part where he had on the caucasian vision goggles? After seeing white-life (TV that is) he starts buzzing ‘caucasian overload’ many times. I couldn’t believe this movie got away with it… Some would say that is comedy not racism. Just goes to show you that racism has masks. Anyway, this little example goes on to show you that some people don’t take it very seriously and as long as that happens…double standards in this area will always exist.
