And for me to get so upset here, on the Today show, with you guys, means there’s something there.

Presumably those men didn’t know you were 12, they just pegged your age wrong. Badu is talking about male adults working in a school setting knowing that these are children — and their charges.

lol no thanks byyyyye

I really, REALLY don’t understand the misogynistic shit that I’m seeing from Bernie supporters. I voted for Bernie in my state because his policies are most in line with mine, but you bet your ass I’d vote for Hillary if she wins the primaries.

This is the Bernie Bro phenomenon in a nutshell: a good-enough idea (pointing out the superdelegate system is fundamentally undemocratic) runs into an obnoxious social media tactic, helmed by someone who seems like a bit of a dick.

I’ll never cease to be amazed by how quickly people forget that superdelegates jumped ship from Clinton to Obama in 2008 once it became clear that he was winning.

There’s no conspiracy. If Bernie were actually winning (or if he manages some major upsets in the next few big primaries) more superdelegates would join his…

Most (youth / young adults anyway) would leave if they could. But you seem to be ignoring the fact that one cannot simply just packup and move the way you make it sound, especially when the overwhelming majority of First Nations people live far below the poverty line. They can barely probably afford a bus out, let…

You obviously don’t have the first clue as to how your suggestion -fucking forcibly removing people from their land because you think our cultures, beliefs and ways of life are primitive or worthless- aligns pretty sweetly with the ways we’ve already been fucked over. Your idea for fixing it isn’t really fixing…

High suicide rates on rezes in the north are the norm and have been that way for a long time.

Native here, this mindset from non-Natives is a contributing factor to WHY WE TRY TO KILL OURSELVES.

It’s not about giving aid to the poor. No one wants to talk about it, but Canada is not a bastion of progressive liberalism. Canada is good to everyone except for its First Nations peoples. Every level of society, law enforcement, and government is nothing short of racist and cruel in its treatment of them. Our last…

11 suicide attempts in one night. When it comes to politics and public policy, Canada gets a lot of love (especially from liberal progressive people from the United States), but our First Nations are treated atrociously. Women and young girls are raped, beaten, kidnapped, and murdered and the crimes aren’t…

You act as if we gave them a choice as to what to do when we stole the best lands they were using. If our government had respected the treaties it signed those reserves would be villages like any other, with decent living conditions.

So what are they supposed to do? Move to the big city and become prostitutes? There are people there who are going to be unable to adapt to the big city, especially older people. There are people who could adapt to urban life if they had adequate resources, but they probably don’t. You don’t just change an entire way…

This is a direct result of the Stephen Harper government pretty much ignoring Native Affairs for years. I know people who have worked in northern communities and the conditions in some of them are not conditions you should see in a developed country, ever. We can do better Canada!

Almost twenty years ago, there was a rash of suicides and suicide attempts among the teenagers on my reservation. It was a scary time because it seemed suicide was almost like a virus going from child to child.

This breaks my heart on so many levels. Why do so many people consider aid to the poor a bad thing? I think people killing themselves is far worse.

i just cant stand that they act so above it. if you’re above it- get off the fucking show.

No. They WERE.

I wish them the best of luck and I hope their kids get out but... Maybe they should have been more careful before indoctrinating themselves and their children into a psychotic cult.
