JH said...: "Limiting Cherokee membership to those with Cherokee blood" sounds fair enough...but I don't pretend to know anything about this issue to comment intelligently.

Though I'm interestred to know how the "Black Cherokees" responded.

Also interested to know if so-called Native Americans claim the same kinship to us that we do them. I got told about my grandmother's Seminole blood farily frequently. Do they claim us? Sittin around the house, going, yeah, we got "black in our family".

The thing I do take from this is the backwardness of the need to clamor for membership into some disadvantaged "group" so you can get stuff from the government. Its like a contest to see who can claim to be more jacked-up.
I pray for us all to be in a position that we say, "keep your membership...I'm cool...I know who I am."...we're all very used to that gubment teat though!; Sep 16, 2011, 6:20:00 PM

Anonymous said...: The title of this post is a flat out lie. Please do some research before spreading divide and conquer race baiting propanda. It had nothing to do with black or white and had everything to do with having one Cherokee ancestor. Let some black Cherokees educate you on the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bl2WNu4ERqA; Sep 20, 2011, 5:31:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
