Speculate as to reasons for the mistreatment of native americans african americans and german and irish?
Fear of the unknown, fear of being replaced and a widespread ignorance that persists throughout mankind
Having made a necessary complaint to one doctor, have you experienced mistreatment at the hands of other drs?
Do you suspect a negative grapevine|||Doctors often stick together when it comes to patient grievances especially if they're professionally "friends." Best to try a few at various location without any mention of your previous experience with a doctor who mistreated you. In the end, if the mistreatment was bad enough, you can report him/her to the American Medical Association.|||I've had that experience before and mine was a gyno and she misdiagonised me and I think I found the right one, four doctors later.|||I haven't but an elderly person once told me how she was malpracticed on. See, one doctor would set her arm wrong after a fracture and the next one would want to reset it, and so on. She finally decided to see a doctor outside the area, and that doctor went to the board. There was a buddy system going on, where there was a ring of doctors doing malpractice, and each would pay the others for the setups, I mean, referrals.
Senate apologizes to Native Americans for historic mistreatment. Your thoughts?
Please be mature in your response thanks.|||I am of Native American descent and I do not accept for this reason. There are many things that have been done to my people that have the Gov. has tried to hide and mislead others' about, and they will not own up to it. I believe if an apology is sincere, you would come out with the entire thing. Millions of my ancestors' were beheaded all in the name of American science. Not many people know of this. And if they are truly sorry, may we please have our land back, and the credit for discovering it? Peach, go get a life!! You sound so "well protected", what is your ethnicity?|||Too little too late? Unfortunately, the oppressors and those most severely affected are long dead. Still, it is nice that it was acknowledged.|||I don't disagree that Native Americans were mistreated. I wonder if this will be a precursor to more reparations. Really, I wonder if that's what they need. They already draw a paycheck from the government. How about people take personal responsibility for their problems?|||Some things in our history are unfortunate, thats life. If an apology helps some people cope, then why not, otherwise its a waste of time and effort to apologize for things that occurred before any of us even existed, things that nobody alive today was responsible for.|||Being part Native American, your apology is a little too late. The people who were first on this land, have long since passed and were the one's who truly needed to hear it. Your apology back then would have stopped the self-destruction of people because they lost everything because of the whack dealings with the US. Native American got blankets with diseases, alcohol, fat. No Native American should be like this we are Warriors! And with today's generation all that is lost. And Yes, the apology may not be sincere but an act due to some political agenda, but it's news that just a bit too late. The Senate and other US politicians honor the Japanese, Chinese, the Jews with apologies and money but still you screw Mexicans, Latins and you still haven't apologized nor paid for the acts of today and for what your bloody ancestors did against slavery, racism, segregation, the list could go on for days, to BLACKS! When is this going to happen? I think the Senate would apologize to every other race before blacks. See racism is still a live, well and running this country. Remember Katrina and black people wrongfully convicted of crimes.|||Stop the apologies already. It isn't like WE did it yesterday. The natives in my state seem to be doing pretty darn well with their gaming.And they don't have to pay taxes because they are a nation.|||The mistreatment went well on into the late '70s. Women being secretly sterilized, strip mining uranium on reservations, the Child Welfare League of America taking kids from their homes and on and on.
It didn't end in the 1800s.
Do some research on more recent atrocities.
And the majority of tribes do not have casinos.|||I think it's a little late.........|||Native Americans get womb-to-tomb health care free.
Scholarships go begging because few people want them.
Very cheap housing is often available.
Commodities are available.
If they live on the reservation, they do not pay income tax.
Is the Senate going to apologize to the Irish because of the ill treatment given to them when they first came here in the 1800s?
Don't try holding your breath.|||I love the indians and think we really screwed them but we need to stop looking at the past and move forward. to many people live in the past and use it as a excuse for why they should get something for nothing.|||I honestly don't think that that's enough. Their culture was devastated and stripped away from them. A lot of people will say that that's in the past but look how it's affected the present. Native Americans aren't represented in politics, the media, etc.|||In Australia we have just gone through a similar process and it has already started to create lawsuits by some indigenous Australians (who by the way were never the direct sufferers of any of the "atrocities", just their distant relatives) which in turn will create an even wider wedge between the two populations (Indig and non indig) as it is already being labelled as opportunistic and dishonest ... No one who apologised had anything directly to do with what ever happened many years ago and I don't think an apology should have been made...|||a sign of good faith, but too little too late. Besides, the people that did the mistreating are all dead.|||It's better than nothing. How can you say, 'gee, so sorry about that whole genocide thing. What were we thinking?' It's better than nothing.|||i think its a good thing that the senate apologized becuz they should have never dissed the native americans anyway|||not only is it a little late it is just words the apology shoould have been made along time ago really there should have been no need for the apology the attempted genocide should never had happened tribes should never have been treated with such disrespect and should never have been forced to live on lands set aside for them when it was there home lands ! i wouldnt go in someones house and tell them where they have permission to be i think its all hogwash i take no joy in an apology so empty|||i think that they deserve more than an apology but it's a start and they also need to publicly apologize to African Americans for slavery. at least the president could call a press conference on Martin Luther king Jr. day and say sorry. just a simple sorry and acknowledge that they should not have done that. that would be great.
tengo how could you say that they weren't mistreated? you really need to brush up on your history a little. no amount of money can repay them for the amount of lives that were lost and the way they were spit on by the people who came to THEIR land and took it from them. if you were treated like that don't you think your and your children and the generations there after deserve an apology for their culture being stomped on?|||The parallels in regard to the treatment dished out to Indigenous Australians and Americans are too many to list here, but racist policies directed at both communities existed well into the 70's and in some instances well into the present. Those of us who felt the sting of these policies aren't going to wake up one morning and find those memories and experiences will have miraculously dissapeared. Many individuals who were responsible for these policies are still alive and still have influence in certain political circles. Those of us Indigenous people who lived under these policies remember very clearly.
Acknowledgement of the past can only help the future...|||How many times have they done that? Did they not get it right every other time? We already know the answer to that. That's a cloud hovering over our heads, and I think the reason for the majority of problems we face as a nation. We are paying for the sins of those who came before us, because we are so arrogant and spoiled, and so used to getting what we want, and for the rest of the world looking to us in an "innovative" way. For all the "good" we do, we always have bad. For all the progress we have made, we still have age old problems. Overcrowding in prisons, escalated violence, and even random violence, drug use, homeless, poverty, etc... We won't have peace until we atone for the sins we carry, and still carry on.

Did racist white ppl ever thought about black ppl's feelings bout their mistreatment ?
I doubt they care. Racists are scum and emotionless creatures. They're cowards and within their tiny meaningless existences they would like to believe every thing they say has an effect. I hate to say this but maybe they have recessive genes for a reason. God might have wanted to wipe out his mistakes. I don't hate all white people, no I don't, but if I had the option of watching all racist whites burn. I would light the match.|||I'm a racist white person, however neither me nor my ancestors have mistreated any blacks. Mostly because we don't have many in my country but I am nice and friendly to the ones who are here - they are certainly more preferable to our majority immigrant group that is attempting to overthrow our culture. I think the problem is when you get too many of one particular minority group they want to make everything their way and they try to act like victims when they don't get it. I think that's why people in the USA complain more about blacks and people over here complain more about Muslims/Arabs.|||it would help if you were grammatically correct when you asked your question.
The answer is no, and simply b.c hate is illogical when it comes to racism.|||Nope I guess not but it all doesn't matter if there racist there racist as somebody said God will have the last say
@Loose Marbles: I have a question for you. Where do you get your weed from? mines not strong enough, eh|||LOL black people dont have feelings.
no, im kidding.
well, im sure they did, but obviosly a racist person, who dislikes blacks, would not care about hurting a black persons feelings...|||trailortrash people have no emotions|||White people are dying off so idc|||You are a human. Think about that for a minute.|||I'm white and I feel bad for black people. Us white people is just cruel. God loves u|||No but in the end GOD will have the last say.|||No, i don't think so|||We don't need people feeling sorry for us!|||not really because black people evolved from dirt and trees, white people evolved from air and water.|||Black people have feelings...?

Are you glad there is no more mistreatment of the elephant?
yeah, me and my elephant buddies are so glad!!! They forced us to paint, play soccer, ride into wars, and even wait on tables!!! thank god for the elephant revolution! now we'll see who has to play soccer! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!|||wow! i didn't think there ever were mistreatment to elephants thanks for teaching me something :^) ( oh! and yes i am very happy for the elephants yay!!!!!)|||Why do elephants paint their toenails in all different colors?
So they can hide in the M%26amp;M jar.
Ever see an elephant in the M%26amp;M jar?
Works pretty good, doesn't it?
How do you shoot a blue elephant?
With a blue elephant gun.
How do you shoot a green elephant?
Hold his nose until he turns blue, then shoot him with a blue elephant gun.
So the circus is in town. Bragging that they have the strongest elephant in the world. Nobody can make the elephant shake his head NO. People are tying ropes to the elephant's head and pulling on both sides trying to make him shake his head.
Some drunk declares, "I can make that elephant shake his head NO," and he proceeds to pick up a couple bricks. He walks up behind the elephant and slams the two bricks together right on the elephant's 'nads. When the elephant lands back on earth, the drunk walks around to show him the bricks and asks, "Want me to do it again?"
Now it's next year, the circus is back in town, only this time, their claim is that nobody can make the elephant nod his head YES. Out comes the same drunk and says, "I can make that elephant nod his head YES." And proceed to pick up two bricks.
The drunk simply walks around to face the elephant, shows him the bricks and asks, "Remember me?"|||i dont know iv'e-ory got to go

I mother always talks behind my back. I have a good job and I try to help out when I can.why the mistreatment.?
I just recently had a wreck in my car. I now have to depend on my mother to take me to and from work.I recently found out that she has been saying she wants me out of her house and that all I do is sleep and I never help out which is lie. She has always had a negative approach about me my whole life. Is there something I did wrong.|||I would try to get on my feet AS SOON AS possible and move out,but try to calmly and respectful , talk to your mom to find out what problems she may with you.|||Not knowing the entire story, the only thing I could suggest is simply asking her why she's so negative toward you all the time. Try to make plans to get out on your own in the meantime. It's going to be rough if you don't have a car of your own. At least you have a job.
Ask her what she would like you to do more around the house. Sometimes communication is a good thing, even if it does hurt to know the truth.|||Who knows but I would plan of moving and be sure that she knew why

Why are black college students so afraid to complain about any sort of mistreatment?
I notice all other students of other races don't have problems complaining, it's mostly the black students that seem to be more afraid, why is that?|||That's true! I see that not just in college but everywhere. Sometimes blacks are scared to do anything that would make them seem like a stereotype. I've known some personally who said "I should complain about racism from a teacher, but they would think I'm just saying it because I'm black so I'll let it go." That's exactly the servile, subservient, lowly, attitude they want from blacks, they want the shackles of mental slavery to be held forever.|||b/c the blacks only got into college b/c they are black. they don't have anything to complain about. That and they get a free ride while the white kids have to bust their butts in school and then go out and work a job in order to pay for it, we don't have a scholarship that we all can get. Blacks have all sorts of scholarships and the only thing you need to do is be black to get them.|||What would they complain about? Seriously? It is usually them crying racism or dropping the race card.|||What college do you go to? It's not true in my college, only Asian students are more reserved about complaining.|||YOUR WRONG.|||KILL WHITEY!!!|||"Don't blame me" you don't know what the h*ll you are talking about. I for one had no scholarships, I worked my *** off through college,with a job and children. And I know plenty of other blacks that did this also. Before you make a comment at least know what your talking about.|||Dont blame me I voted for McCain- your answer is so random....
