the question i am about to ask could get one fired from their job , if asked at work . my question is what have African Americans and native Americans [Indians] contributed to the American economy . is it wrong to ask this question ?
native American [Indians] and African Americans have been seeking compensation for injustice that was done their ancestors . these groups are are not exaggerating . terrible injustices were done to their ancestors .
it seems to me that for any group of people to fully enjoy the benefits of being an American . that group has to become part of the American main stream . at least economically . you have to put something in to get something out . unfortunately there is no free lunch . i wish there was .
the Amish and the Mennonites live outside of the American mainstream they do not pay tax's nor do they collect social security or any other government benefits . main stream America does not bother these people or restrict their life style . so it is true groups of people can live in their own world in America .
it seems to me that the mainstream in America changes quickly and those who are not in the economic game . become irrelevant and are left behind . racism seems to have little to do with it . it is more how reality works . weather we like it or not .
