Comments by "VoidX" (@aus-li) on "Do All Native Americans Think The Same? | Spectrum" video.

  1. You should reality do your own research. Black history month is nothing but propaganda, too, you’d have to find out everything yourself.
    72
  2. Jill's Sandwiches How am I “dense”? All I said is that most people are uneducated on history and that the masses are brainwashed by propaganda? Which is true. The public education system has always been garbage and the media is no different.
    34
  3. SinBGfYerin What about American Indian Heritage Month in November? There’s also Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May? It’s just that black history month gets the most attention, which I think isn’t right, there should be equal representation and recognition for these minority groups.
    25
  4. RubyRim If you need help, I could give you a few references so I could clarify what I mean.
    17
  5. SimplieeAdoredd1 It should be common sense to educate yourself on anything you’re curious or interested in. You can’t just listen to the media or generic history books.
    14
  6. There’s nothing wrong with Christopher Columbus. History is history. I’m half Puerto Rican and I did all my research, it’s sad, but Columbus is just an explorer who did his job.
    11
  7. Jill's Sandwiches Why? Are you a fan of Black History Month? Tell me a few things that you learned form it?
    11
  8. Layla Danielle I don’t know about the word “foundation”. Before the Europeans arrived, they were only known for warfare (fighting amongst other tribes), having similar, “religious” (mostly rituals) principles, and hunting buffalos Europeans still made this country, with “help” from African Americans.
    11
  9. Jill's Sandwiches It shouldn’t be surprising.
    9
  10. You don’t need a “friend”, just do research. Don’t rely on other people to get your information, it’s kinda pathetic.
    9
  11. SinBGfYerin lol, yep. Unfortunately, you can’t speak your mind on these topics unless you wanna get screamed at by people who get easily offended. I’ve gotten harassed by several people in college when I tell them facts and give examples from history.
    7
  12. anas haddad Nope. Columbus went to my ancestors, the Taino in the Caribbean. He also landed in South America on another trip.
    6
  13. Layla Danielle I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t. I don’t really care about what he’s done, because as I’ve said before, I’m a history buff, and nothing he’s done should be considered “wrong”. Why? Because sadly, that’s all considered “normal” throughout history. The dude still has credit of discovering the Americas.
    5
  14. Macey Oludare “mainstream media”. I still don’t trust most media outlets, that’s why I go to several. Did you read everything else I said? I’m sure people don’t know enough about their own government, lol.
    4
  15. Macey Oludare And “believe” what? Listen, I’ve seen enough to get the big picture, it’s really not that complicated if you educate yourself on history and look at the statistics.
    4
  16. Jill's Sandwiches Listen, you really need to educate yourself, because you’re literally not doing anything to benefit your so-called agenda...whatever it is. I’ve already stated that confederate statues are not going away anytime soon, so wait another 50 years and maybe the statues, the flags, and maybe even the KKK will be gone forever (not saying white supremacy will be gone, just that specific organization). Based on what you’ve said, you have no clue on American history. Even so, African Americans and the natives are very important to this country, but overall, the Africans were more important, which is why we had the Civil War. And, Africans helped defeat the Confederates or else the union would’ve suffered even more losses.
    4
  17. Promise Mitchell Yes, but they weren’t African. The OP is talking people who are born in Africa.
    3
  18. SinBGfYerin The major problem is that most people don’t educate themselves, and this is either pure laziness or distraction from life or the media (strictly propaganda). So now it’s immaturity and insecurities because they lack any intelligence, so they resort to violence and shouting matches to maintain their so-called “ego”. This is why the masses are easily manipulated, because they’re not self-aware and lack “confidence” to think otherwise. I can go more in-depth on this, lol, but...yea XD
    3
  19. Jill's Sandwiches I’m not your “fam”, first off. Secondly, you provide zero insight to anything with historical background other than basic info.
    3
  20. Jill's Sandwiches You’re not being “polite”, you’re being immature. I only asked because my comments are sometimes not visible when I go into details, so I’m not gonna write another huge paragraph for no reason. There’s nothing wrong with having an intelligent discussion about history or philosophy, so get over yourself. This has nothing to do with African Americans! Lol, have you been reading anything? We’ve been talking about native Americans this whole time. I’m not “censoring” anything, I’ve been stating facts this whole time!
    3
  21. ArchvicGames Specifically, they were Japanese, and there were also German and Italians in those camps who wanted asylum from the war (they were called “enemy aliens”). The majority were Japanese American, over a hundred thousand that were scattered throughout the states. After the war ended, they were forced to give up their citizenship, a lot of them chose to go back to Japan, which was horrible. It took them decades of court proceedings that lead for reparations. There’s so much info that nobody talks about, the US is all about propaganda.
    3
  22. I agree. But I think the government still doesn’t care about some events and don’t help these minority groups as they should. I still laugh, tho, only because they’re probably privileged and maybe haven’t experienced real suffering and act like they’ve lived during an era of constant war. Kinda similar to African Americans who complain a ton, yet they’re not even educated in their own culture/history.
    2
  23. Wikipedia is more legit than ever.
    2
  24. Me too!
    2
  25. You just act normal, lol?
    2
  26. nubia diaz YouTube has been removing (or making them not appear to the viewers) my comments, it has been happening for over 2 months now. It gets me super frustrated... Anyway, I said you could do research on where they reside in the region or state, but I don’t know where you live? I’m in the US, and a lot of natives live in North Carolina, Delaware and South Dakota (of course, in other states too).
    2
  27. Because they’re all privileged and brainwashed. But everyone should be doing research on history, I think.
    2
  28.  @shaneanthonyy  I totally understand. For instance, Marshall Islands and the Pitcairn Islands got my attention due to their unfortunate events. Also, the fact that tourism and specific made items make up these Islands profits are another factor.
    2
  29. Do you live in Australia?
    2
  30. ebsarooni j You should check out the movie The Nightingale. It’s done by the same women who did The Babadook, and it’s based in Tasmania. Also, the aboriginals were the only ones, throughout history, who never migrated and stayed in the same place. New Zealand also has some very interesting history, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear me rambling XD
    2
  31. They do the same here, but it’s all propaganda and has a G rating to it, lol
    2
  32. Seas _Wallace I don’t know, I’m reading what you said. America’s name is based of Amerigo Vespucci’s first name, but Columbus made those “discoveries” before he had time to explore himself. He’s the one who officially named it the “New World”, but he’s also known for discovering Brazil.
    2
  33. Seas _Wallace We could always assume, however there’s a diary from the Viking, Leif Erikson, who talks about “Vinland” (North America).
    2
  34. I fully educated myself in natives because I’m a history buff. Don’t worry, you won’t be forgotten because I can’t forget :) The only reason why all of you and other minority groups don’t get the attention they deserve, is because of propaganda and capitalism. Anyway, everyone gets offended over reality, so it’s really hard for me to express the facts without people crying.
    2
  35. SinBGfYerin You should check out Joe Rogan, he has some pretty great discussions with smart individuals. Other than that, the only thing we can do is try to enlighten individuals on all these topics. I hope the best for you :)
    2
  36. Alice Free Yes, I heard about that. But honestly, I’m not really into national holiday’s or whatever XD I’m still glad for them, tho.
    2
  37. Maggie K I wouldn’t go that far with it, lol. Sure, Ben has some influence on an intelligent native...but I still think Africans were far more important (the Civil War is a great example of that). Also, it was a “draft”; not saying I don’t respect the dude for representing his tribe.
    2
  38. Maggie K What about Thanksgiving, lmao? I’m sure we should get rid of that too, right? I mean, after all, it was “being thankful” for massacring tribes in 1621.
    2
  39. Maggie K I’m not a “troll”, lol, I said I respected the dude, but I still think natives were in fact, more of an annoyance (literally) because they simply wanted their land back. Being an example for unification is simply cool, too ;) Oh, sure, why don’t we “re-name” Christmas as “commercialism”/“consumer” day XD or how about Mother’s Day as the same? Since the women who advocated for that special day was pissed off about how insincere it became? Either way, my lack of awareness for any particular holiday or event is very carefree, since I never really enjoyed any of them. That’s why I said I don’t care if Columbus Day existed or not.
    2
  40. Maggie K If you didn’t get my detailed comment, I basically just outline why Columbus Day is important and name some important wars with the natives. Other than that, I can give you my email if you want to continue the conversation. Idk if you’re interested in that but I’m glad you replied to me anyway :)
    2
  41. Exactly. It’s a toxic mentality that many minority groups repeat. African Americans are even worse with that propaganda. Like, I know they’re racist individuals out there but c’mon, it’s not good to live with mentality, especially since they’re not even living in that time period of constant war XD
    2
  42. Lol, what do you expect from rural whites XD You should educate them, or at least others who are willing to listen :)
    2
  43. I’m half white and I wouldn’t “apologize” for anything that happened before my time. It’s degrading, however, I do sympathize/empathize with anyone who has been oppressed/repressed by the government.
    2
  44. R Jay Yea, I hear you, I became completely desensitized when I kept going down the “rabbit hole” and learned about history for most countries. I can’t really talk on here because my comments get censored and it makes me really pissed off. But I’m glad you know enough about your own country and about the natives.
    2
  45. I’ve read some of the comments, some are interested. But what did you think about this video? Did you learn anything new?
    2
  46. Austyn Pedebone It’s still true, tho. Indians fought hard, were experts with horses and had “barbaric” ways of killing. These are all facts that can’t be denied.
    2
  47. Did you watch the video? They just ask if it was “offensive” to them.
    2
  48. Why don’t you do more research by yourself? Are you still doing research on them or you stopped when the class ended?
    2
  49. Please do research on anything you’re curious on.
    2
  50. Do research.
    1
  51. Please do your own research!
    1
  52. Do research, lol, you have the internet at your disposal, don’t be lazy. Also, Smoke Signal is a good movie.
    1
  53. What do you need help with?
    1
  54. That’s sad :( Do you need help in searching for anything? I’m a history buff and I would like to help you out, just name what you want to learn more of?
    1
  55. Please do your own research.
    1
  56. Back in the day, Korea owned Japan. What a twist!
    1
  57. It’s propaganda of the US.
    1
  58. You could learn more by doing research!
    1
  59. You shouldn’t trust your own high school, do research by yourself.
    1
  60. Sarah Helen No, just history in particular. I’m sure you’d be more advanced if you took your own time do figure out complex formulas? But I’m sure chemistry is more reliant on synergy based environments. Well, that’s good and all, but doing individual research I think is still better since you’d be more thorough. I’ve always had a holocaust survivor who talked at my school, and tbh, her story was very PG rated.
    1
  61. Sorry, it’s extremely hard to talk on here because my comments are always getting removed by YouTube. I can’t even go into details...
    1
  62. nubia diaz Ugh. Is my second comment visible to you?
    1
  63. nubia diaz Yea, maybe you could try to see if they have events or something similar? I don’t think you’re allowed in most reservations, but I’m sure they do stuff to enlighten the people. Also, if you’re curious about anything, I’m sure google could answer them :) anyway, that’s how I know a ton about natives and other cultures, races, ethnicities and creed, cause all I do is read, lol
    1
  64. Please do your own research if you want to learn more :)
    1
  65. Yes. Except we wouldn’t call Mexicans and other Hispanics “Native American” because it’s based on the country. Indians from the US or Canada are therefore called “Native American”.
    1
  66. bob They’re also “native” but it’s a separated history and situation. So that’s why we just include the aboriginals from North America.
    1
  67. crystal olney No, I was just saying, because I feel like it’s sort of hinted, at least it happened to me while talking to African Americans. It’s kinda sad, lol, because I’m white and I hear racist statements from Hispanics or blacks when they talk about whites (they’re “evil” or whatnot). So it’s always awkward and I get annoyed at their ignorance. But yea, I totally agree, but sadly they’ll probably get more ostracized in the future, just like what’s happening with native Hawaiians.
    1
  68. I support everyone equally, unless otherwise, lol
    1
  69. Aren’t similar small islands in the same predicament?
    1
  70. Oh, wow! Someone who actually said they’d do their own research! I’m a giant history buff! I’d say check out my bois: General Custard, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. There’s tons of battles...really not a big fan of them, honestly, they’re very forgetful. Although, one that is still relevant is the Wounded Knee Massacre. You could always check out some battles and things, it’s just basic knowledge of who won what, which obviously the British Americans always did. The most important to me is the French American War because tribes were divided and supported British America or the French. There were a ton of wars going around at that time...extremely intense period (For instance the Spanish-American war that had to do with acquiring Puerto Rico).
    1
  71. Well, anything by Disney is whitewashed. I know absolutely everything about Disney and it’s history. Nonetheless, I have a few favorites.
    1
  72. The US is all propaganda, lol. I could tell you things that would make you question our society. My comments get deleted on here and it sucks, tho.
    1
  73. It applies to any minority group, honestly.
    1
  74. Prince T Yes, I kinda agree African Americans had it bad, but, we can’t forget about other ethnicities/races who have gone through much hardships as well. Also, you helped built America, unfortunately Europeans were the inventors/innovators, while Africans weren’t educated, like 99% of them couldn’t read or write.
    1
  75. Unfortunately, the government doesn’t really care, lol
    1
  76. Both.
    1
  77. Please do your own research and don’t listen to the government when they lie about everything.
    1
  78. Seas _Wallace So you’re saying history is a “farce”?
    1
  79. Juwangsang Yes, but it was North America. And I heard that they got along with the natives for a while, until the natives pushed them out...I’m assuming they did something wrong.
    1
  80. Seas _Wallace Well, I’m one who does massive research, and that correlates to my OCD, so I read legit sources to find what I’m looking for (even documentaries are of use). You should probably look up whatever you’re interested in, because you can’t trust individuals unless you also put the work in to find out if it’s true. Columbus still holds more merit over Amerigo. To clarify, I don’t care about what they’ve done, especially Columbus, I just want to hear the facts of what progresses civilizations.
    1
  81. Yuri Rosa So? You’re acting like that’s the first time something like that has happened throughout history, lol. That’s literally the cycle of war, profit, and fascism...boring. Doesn’t matter what he did, he’s not a good dude, so is a ton of other historical figures; he still needs to be talked about. Why don’t you start researching history and don’t get easily brainwashed. If you want something more edgier, I’d say look up Genghis Khan.
    1
  82. Yuri Rosa Actually, I would like to elaborate for those who are living in “fantasy land”. Andrew Jackson was a badass dude who killed someone in a duel and later became president; held a party in the White House and destroyed a lot of things, and he also is responsible for enacting the Indian policy, the Trail of Tears. So, was he the most radical, badass president besides George Washington during that time? Yes. Was he a good president? Doesn’t seem like it. Also, let’s talk about Abraham Lincoln for a second: He apparently freed the slaves by Emancipation Proclamation, but that’s only because he had to in order to win the civil war. Look it all up and be enlightened :)
    1
  83. Yuri Rosa “largest genocide in we know of human history”? Where do you get this info from? This actually made me laugh, I can’t believe how ignorant you are. Genocides are completely “normal” in history, so what do you want from me? To feel sad? Should I cry? You want me to forget about rape and pillaging in wars? Lol, how should I act?
    1
  84. Bloody Moonlight He’s still an “explorer”, nonetheless. He was on a ship and traveled a distance without any knowledge of what he was gonna find. I don’t really care what we celebrate, I never said I cared, but you gotta acknowledge history, either way.
    1
  85. I’m an American, unfortunately, lol. Pretty much the same thing but the US doesn’t care about education or bringing diversity into anywhere, unless you look into it yourself. You could take a college course, but I just graduated as an Art student...I still learned more by doing my own research over the years (I cared more about the internet than doing hw XD) Yes, we did have boarding schools, I’m sure they used the same formula and system as we did here. If you have any more questions, I’ll be sure to try to answer them, but my comments get censored on YouTube because I can’t go too deep into details (I have no idea why).
    1
  86. Oratile Nonyane What drugs are you on?
    1
  87. Unfortunately, it’s reality. It’s happening everywhere (look at what’s happening to Hawaii), has happened throughout history where cultures, ethnicities, and cultures were eradicated.
    1
  88. I’m a history buff. If you have any questions about natives or whatever, I can give you some references.
    1
  89. Please do your own research. The US has propaganda and a linear “story” on African Americans, too.
    1
  90. Thank you for doing research! The more info you have on any race, the better!
    1
  91. Please do research if you want to learn more, it’s also better to educate yourself.
    1
  92. Ariel Upshaw Thanks a lot! I love the world because it’s so fascinating. Are you from the US, btw?
    1
  93. Don’t make excuses, lol
    1
  94. peanut gallery It’s been happening forever. You’ve never seen old Western movies that had Indians in them? There was never a legit native in any movies or shows XD In fact, there was one dude who looked native but he was totally white who I guess fooled himself into thinking he was native. His name was Iron Eyes Cody.
    1
  95. Maggie K My comments are not showing up because YouTube is filtering my words!
    1
  96. Maggie K Can you see my comments?
    1
  97. Lis ! You’re right. Eventually you will all start to have intermarriages and leave your reservations (the government will slowly manipulate your lands). 200 years will probably amount to maybe a few hundred natives.
    1
  98. ava trepanier It’s so bittersweet and still, largely ignored.
    1
  99. The Storyteller I do agree he should get more recognition...maybe replace him with Columbus XD
    1
  100. Blushinglollies UwU We’ve talked about that.
    1
  101. Lis ! Yea, if you look at history and the minorities, specifically the natives, usually they all conform to society; thus meaning they’re forced to adapt, which also means intermarriage is inevitable. These individuals in this video are not even natives, they’re too white to be considered “natives”. But yea, the economy (besides the evolution of the individual themselves) is vital to the changing of the landscape, that’s why life is unpredictable...for the most part.
    1
  102. Kath No, they’re mistreated everywhere, not just North America.
    1
  103. @driven Animal Where did you get that info from? I would disagree and say they're black.
    1
  104. kylie m That’s pretty rad! Is that an elective? I never had anything interesting at my college (recent graduate), lol, it felt like a waste of time for me XD
    1
  105. My dude, if only I could tell you the truth, but my comments don’t show up...
    1
  106. Doing your own research would be better. I wouldn’t trust anyone but myself.
    1
  107. You’ve just learned this now?
    1
  108. Jane lol. I mean, history isn’t nice.
    1
  109. Yes! Google whatever you want to learn. Maybe I could help, I’m a history buff myself, give me a question and I can start if off?
    1
  110. That’s kinda that opposite of how history works XD However, it’s great that you do your own research!
    1
  111. It’s a problem with any mixed individual. I’m white and Puerto Rican, I get harsh comments from Hispanics all the time because they get offended that I can’t speak Spanish.
    1
  112. Yes! Please do more research on history. It’s better to do it yourself than to trust others or the government.
    1
  113. They use it for their economy on the reservation.
    1
  114. Because of them being killed and pushed off land for centuries.
    1
  115. Ryan McBride Ryan McBride Yes, I know the history of both the Scottish and the Irish. Well, that’s an excuse if they promote ignorance by saying “we still go through the pain of our ancestors” (in times they act like it’s physical pain), which is heavily applied by African Americans, and I don’t support that mentality. Obviously they’re too privileged to know what actual war and being enslaved was like, since they’re safe than in times of imperialism/colonialism. I do understand the mental trauma of the hereditary after effects, for example, alcoholism being prevalent in their communities, which I believe is a chemical imbalance due to being forced out of their natural lands. The Irish were treated almost as bad as Africans, I’d say. I don’t know, why don’t you ask your government? I mean, at least y’all have your own democracy in South Ireland. The native Americans are very scarce in terms of the population, being the lowest. It’s just different situations and governments.
    1
  116. Yep. African Americans have too much of the spotlight, we need diversity in acknowledging other races/ethnicities.
    1
  117. Emine A Lmao, are you serious XD Start by typing “native Americans” into google and go down the rabbit hole. Look up Indian policies, main events, and major characters who were essential to the on-going wars (General Custer, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, for example). Maybe you’ll get even more interested when you find out during the French and Indian War, tribes were against each other as they supported British America or the French (then it’ll lead you to the Seven Years’ war, which you’ll have to look into the 30 Years’ war just because).
    1
  118. Why is it such a big deal?
    1
  119. Probably not many, lol. All of them were warriors during battle and scalped their enemies when killing them, however.
    1
  120. Hey! I am also half-Hispanic. I agree, many people are too lazy or brainwashed by social media/news outlets to do any of their own research.
    1
  121. I mean, it should be common sense, no? African Americans came directly from Africa, so of course they’d pass some sort of history throughout generations, even if Europeans tried to force their own heritage out of them. Nowadays, everyone is so uneducated about their culture and place of origin, and they get offended over everything. Also, Hollywood has always been superficial XD
    1
  122. Thanks for doing research! Don’t forget, the US spreads propaganda, so don’t trust your teachers or professors.
    1
  123. Native history isn’t too complex and it’s easy to convey. But America spreads propaganda, that’s why a lot of historical events and terminologies are warped.
    1
  124. Please do more research if you want to learn more!
    1
  125. no Idea I agree, they were pretty hardcore during battle.
    1
  126. Jacky Pantoja That has been going on way before 1970s? Did you really do your research? Trail of Tears and Dawes Act really emphasize forced assimilation.
    1
  127. Jacky Pantoja Yes, it happens to any minority group, especially in rural, poverty-stricken areas where people have low intelligence. I’d say private schools in general are very shady, lol, it’s the US.
    1
  128. Lilliane Susewind Anything Disney has done is completely falsified and whitewashed. Their adaptations are a joke compared to the original stories, literally read any story they’ve adapted...I have read most of them and they’re interesting.
    1
  129. Raja1938 Read the original stories, they were about suicide and depression.
    1
  130. Your Irish and Scottish ancestry must be interesting.
    1
  131. Morgan A. McNeill Of course slavery is interesting. Why would you not want people to be enlightened by slavery? Frederick Douglass respected the Irish because they were also enslaved by the British. There’s no reason to get hostile over me acknowledging your last name that has a long history attached to it.
    1
  132. Morgan A. McNeill I hope someday you get over your insecurities and hatred about your own history. Because someday you’ll have to face who you are.
    1
  133. Morgan A. McNeill What’s so funny? I’ve dealt with similar individuals like you, obviously you don’t know much about history, which is why you got easily offended.
    1
  134. The US is known for spreading propaganda, it won’t stop anytime soon.
    1
  135. The masses are living in fantasy, why do you they think they’re all easily brainwashed? You have to be cynical or else you’ll never understand reality.
    1
  136. You have any solutions? Anything I say on here gets censored, so it’s impossible for me to have a real conversation, but I’m curious.
    1
  137. It’s mostly genetics and not getting the help they should get. That’s why a lot of them are alcoholics, it’s pure genetics that have to do with being forced into reservations.
    1
