    I can't envision what native americans find objectionable about that billboard. If anything it highlights an injustice done first to them and perhaps later to the rest of us.

    Agreed... Absolutely.
    So... IMO... Native Americans must be tending towards the liberal ideology... Sad.
    If that billboard comes across in a negative way... Very sad.

    The one lady (who is obviously of Native American lineage) says...
    "I get IT... I really do.. I get it... But 'Take the picture down, leave the words,
    just take the picture down. We want to right a wrong."


    'Right a Wrong'... If she was to go back in time and speak to her ancestors...
    IMO... They'd be saying...
    "Hell YEAH... !!! Don't let the government have one inch."
    "We should have continued to fight..."
    "And resisted even more to being placed on a damn reservation."

    Seems the sheeple mentality has no boundaries...

    IMO... That's one powerful message...
    Whether Native Americans care to believe it or not.

    Those negative comments the article cited where obviously people who don't know history. There is a precise reason they put native Americans on there; they did surrender and were pushed all over the place and many ended up here in Oklahoma.

    Would their reaction be different if we showed the government giving them smallpox infected blankets?

    Being half Native American, Cherokee, and having several cousins that are full blooded Native American I have no problem with this bill board nor do my cousins. The truth is the truth.

    I'd be tempted to turn 'em in if I could make what the Indians make on their tv advertised loan rates - 89% to 342%.

    The sign is about two miles down the road from me and was put up in part by my veterinarian. It does have a lot of people upset around here...I on the other hand kind of like it...Bull

    The sign is effective. That is why they can't argue the point and go to another subject.

    If I remember correctly Pierce Morgan did the same earlier concerning the subject of pressure cookers.

    Yep....I see no problem with it...It's part of history and it happened....No different than whinny people gripping about a Confederate flag, saying its racist...When it wasnt racist in history, it was the symbol for the Confederate Army....People need to grow up and learn their history.

    She says she gets it, but I don't think she even has the faintest idea what the message is.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    You hit the nail on the head there.
