On the subject of native americans, native americans should feel guilty.

I've never killed a Native American, nor taken anything from one. On the other hand, I have definitely helped line some of their pockets by visiting their casinos.

Indian casino's do not let you win

Why? What does feeling guilty accomplish? What did any of us White folk personally do to Native Americans that we should feel guilty about?

I think a better thing to do is to learn the history of what happened between Whites and Native Americans and make sure something similar never happens again. Indian Removal Act, Trail of Tears, mass genocide, etc etc.

Another thing that we could do is try to help lift Native Americans out of poverty and help their communities.

There are lot of things we could probably do to help Native Americans. But feeling guilty about what our ancestors did in the past? I'm not sure if that accomplishes anything.

Until this is done you should continue to feel guilty, because the direct consequences of the actions taken by the american government still remain.
I feel guilty about what the australian government did to our aboriginals and i fight hard for aboriginal rights.

Haha, definitely...

Okay, fair point.

Feeling guilty because the country you live in had a government policy which was cruel or unfair to people over a century ago is incredibly strange, but apparently the new generation of pussies extends beyond the borders of the United States. Should someone of a particular Native American tribe feel guilty because their ancestors 300 years ago killed and stole land from another Native American tribe? Go read a history book, human beings are cruel to other human beings, there's no reason for the whole planet to feel guilty because of wrongs perpetrated in the past.

In australia we were taking aboriginal kids off their parents in the 1970's, most of them are still alive.
