Start. Well put knight time. Doesn't mean however that you don't try to train the cps better and take the guns away then you'd have a lot less being killed all around.

Give the country back to the Indians?? I am glad you at least acknowledge we took it from them. No I don't think we should take it back. I do however think we should face our problems and work to fix them instead of hiding behind the canard of American Exceptionalism http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2\n012/03/how-joseph-stalin-invented-american-ex\nceptionalism/254534/

P.S. I love my country. And don't forget it IS my country too. As well as yours and the indigenous peoples.

I have always thought that our native tribes should never be called American Indians. 1: they are geographically from nowhere near India. 2: The name America was coined by Martin Waldseemüller from Americus Vespucius, the Latinized version of the name of Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512), the Italian explorer who mapped South America's east coast and the Caribbean Sea in the early 16th century.

So to refer to the native people with a term that has no meaning as to the reality of who they are delegitimizes them making it easier to see them as sub-human and therefore it is reasonable to steal their land and lives.

KnightTime - I'm glad your experience is different from mine. Query: are your naturalized friends people of color?

It is tragic when cops shoot anyone, justified or not. However it is inexcusable for the media to only focus on cops shooting blacks. Far more whites are shot by cops. Far more cops are shot by blacks. But all we hear from the media is when a cop shoot a black man. Seems like the media has an agenda, and its not a good one.

Tuco: Of course we took the country from the Indians. But what is your solution?

The people who commit educational malpractice in state funded schools and taught you all this anti-American nonsense you spout would like you to embrace socialism. What about all the people murdered by their own socialist/communist governments? That makes our problems shrink to insignificance. And yet you think Marxism or some variation on the same theme is the answer? Wise up.

Diane - if "by color" you mean black, then no.
One is Hispanic, the other 2 are from China.
