It seems you are missing the point which is the people of today are celebrating these symbols which in reality should be despised. No one that I know today are celebrating what we did to Indians which was despicable. For people who look fondly on the Confederate flag from my perspective they can drop dead.

First thought on reading yours there was that i was sure Native Americans would have different opinions on it, generalization can be fun
and close to the mark, as all GOP presidential candidates are ratbags .. lol .. too often they are a result of lazy and/or habitual thinking.

Now, seriously since first reading yours, even again before coming to TA this morning, i have searched
.. maybe 6 times .. and still nothing to support your "I am sure the "Native American" think so".

On about every search i got the fact that some had been protesting about the use of the r word .. some for 20 years

Native American activists and supporters are hoping the controversy over the Confederate flag spurs a larger debate against derogatory symbols.

.. as you will see they have different positions on it .. just as Southerners have different positions on the Confederate Flag ..

No one should forget how badly our countries treated the people who were there/here when the invaders boated in .. no one should forget
how they took their land, how they killed them, how they put them in their place .. no one should ever excuse or forget that .. you agree with
that and in agreeing, as you have been told before, you are not showing disrespect for ALL those who lived and participated back then ..

Consider then you could one day feel comfortable with the fact that no one should ever excuse or forget how misguided and wrong slavery was, still is ..

If any same person bitches about how the south treated the black man, yet chooses to forget
or ignore wrongs against the red man .. shrug .. that burden of hypocrisy is theirs .. not yours ..

"...these same people bitch about how the south treats the black man but choose to forget how they treated the red man..."

I used they up top because we were not there .. that was then this is now .. why have symbols that hurt others?
