  1.  @HeyThreshold  If this was a shorter thread then I would search it but at 268 comments I will not do that. You are welcome to.

  2.  @ravensantos4189  It is interesting how similar people identify themselves differently.

  3.  @joebiggs4387  That would be great if people would actually treat each other as equals.

  5. I think you can be both Hispanic and Native because you have ancestors from both communities. Some Hispanic people don't want to claim their Native part. But that doesn't mean that you can't. This is just my opinion.

  6. Even if you are only a few things those companies keep changing everything.

  8.  @kurkolman  How is my mitochondrial DNA (passed down the maternal line) from the Yamnaya tribe then? My mom's recent ancestors are from the UK.

  10.  @nytn  Probably.

  11. Plus, getting paid enough to sustain life is much more than not getting paid at all. The main thing poor whites had that slaves didn't was the opportunity to change bosses and jobs. This was a huge advantage. Plus I doubt poor whites were whipped very often or had their toes cut off for running away. They also didn't have to worry about lynchings as much either.

  12.  @johncollins7062  25 to 30% of white families in the South owned slaves. That is a fair amount not a small amount.

  13.  @johncollins7062  The economic structure of slavery was still huge because some really big slaveowners owned a lot of the wealth. Just like Elon Musk, Bill Gates and other top executives may not be a high percentage of the population but they own a lot of the wealth.

  14.  @johncollins7062  Turn your "white equals right" thought process around and see the bigger picture.

  15.  @johncollins7062  Slavery was definitely NOT worth fighting for even though slavery and economics were intertwined. Edit: I mean it was worth fighting to end slavery but not to continue slavery.

  16.  @johncollins7062  The Civil War was over both slavery and economics. Obviously slavery was a major issue. That is why you had a balance between slave states and free states joining The Union.

  17.  @johncollins7062  Yes slaves and former slaves both picked cotton. But freed slaves could choose to pick cotton for somebody else or choose to move somewhere else. That is a huge improvement.

  19.  @zoeboy82  I am talking about origin as in his childhood origins not his ancestry. He said he was from Muskogee not that his ancestry was Muskogee.

  21. The Confederacy fought AGAINST the United States of America. So...

  22. GOD BLESS THE USA. Not the Confederacy. The Confederacy fought AGAINST the USA.

  23. You can't logically support both sides. David.

  24. I think more than two viable parties in the USA would be a good thing. I understand that our system is set up for two parties to be in power.

  25. I like Angela Davis. I think that it would be hard for her to accept having the blood of what she has fought against for so long. I hope she can.

  27. ​ @suzanneyoung8011  Pride and prejudice is not in the top ten banned books of 2023 but I am sure it is still banned in some schools.

  28.  @JohnSmith-ct5jd  Do you live on the East Coast? Edit: Rules are different for many tribes in the West. For her tribe you had to be 25% her tribe or more.

  30.  @howardj602  She wasn't in a Dawes Roll tribe.

  31.  @howardj602  My friend did not have her DNA tested. She was just short of 1/4 by her tribe's records.

  32.  @kenlounders5399  Her mother is in that tribe but is just under half. Her father is not. So she is just under quarter and does not meet the requirement. Not all tribes have the same requirements.

  33.  @kenlounders5399  DNA is not involved. Paper records indicate that she is just under a quarter and does not qualify to be a member. For her tribe you have to be a quarter according to paper records.

  34.  @kenlounders5399  If they are a small tribe. But different tribes have different rules. If inbreeding was going to be a problem they could change their membership rules.

  35.  @possum9827  My friend does get healthcare services for Native Americans. The point is she can't inherit her family home in the reservation because she is just under 1/4 of her tribe.

  36. @ladyyang8040  I agree!

  37.  @rroadmap  There are still slaves in the USA. Just not legal slaves. I read an article about it in National Geographic. Some of the people who pick oranges in the USA are slaves. Some of the popsicle cart pushers are slaves. There are sex workers who are slaves.

  38.  @D4L_457  That is possible.

  39.  @HeyThreshold  You said that Italians don't go by color.

  41.  @starloszelson4541  Well, obviously.

  42.  @5Antvin  So are you claiming that Italians weren't lynched

  45.  @shockcat5988  What little argument strategy? I made a lot of comments on this video. Most of them months ago.

  46. How do you know there was zero sub Saharan blood in Cleopatra. You know all of her thousands of ancestors?

  47. It is hard to discuss this in the USA without saying race. Even you had to say it in altered form. You are right that it is not scientific. Too bad there isn't a better term that is well known.

  48.  @twizzle1710  Are you trying to say that insecurity or tribe mean the same thing as race? Then why didn't the OP use that instead?

  49.  @twizzle1710  If I tell people that I am a member of a tribe people in the USA are going to be confused.
