"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." -Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Mother Night

The point, Surt. If you pretend to be a bigot, people will treat you like one. Do better.

It is a good point. Free speech obviously exists, but that doesn't make you exempt from people reading your personality based on the things you say. Particularly on the internet – what else do I have to go by other than what you say?

Common sense, for one. I'm not exactly a stranger, I've never ever advocated genocide for anyone lol.

If someone gives you solid advice to help you and your instinct is to insult the person in return, you probably should do some soul-searching, Surt. Do better for yourself.

Lol Rob, and this is another example of why you shouldn't be taken seriously. You weren't trying to help anyone. I've been posting here long enough that I know the games you play.

You're truly going to pretend like you had my best interests in mind here? Lol.

We're all from Africa, bro. They were indigenous as far as it goes, as far as many cultures are.

So you think I was insulting/attacking you with the Vonnegut quote. Very weird. Very paranoid.

Well now I have to ask how you define the word "indigenous" ?

Rob the things you are saying do not make any sense. Your responses clearly indicate you were attacking me with the quote. Look at what happened. You said the quote, Scribble responded. I responded and named by favorite book by Vonnegut. Then you respond to me with this:

Lol how is this not an insinuation that I'm a bigot? How is calling someone a bigot not an insult?

Honestly, in this situation, I'd happily substitute 'native' or 'indigenous' with 'lived there so long it was their right to continue living there'. Semantics become less useful in the face of genocide.

My post wasn't insinuating that you're a bigot. I clearly said "pretend to be" as the qualifier; meaning you're not really a bigot, but acting like one. Which is the very point of the Vonnegut quote, ie becareful what you pretend to be, because people will see you that way.

Honestly, you're going out of your way here to find vinegar when I was giving honey.

I dunno, we can still acknowledge the bad things that happened to them without having to pretend they are indigenous to the country.

Lol Rob you'd be more believable if I hadn't been witness to your behavior for years.

They were natives. At this point, you're a native too, due to the association between you and your country of birth. So they were certainly natives. Hence they are called 'Native Americans', rather than 'Indigenous Americans'. The reason they continue to be called Native Americans is because they were the first major people to populate and inhabit in the area. Seems fair to me.

I make it blatantly obvious when I'm being an ass; I clearly am not on this page. You're acting like a victim now though.
