Am I My Brothers' Keeper II

While doing a query to gather information for my previous post "am i my brother's keeper", I stumbled upon this video.

There are races of people who have been enslaved. Races of people who have been in concentration camps. Races of people who have been moved from their land to another. Races of people who have not been treated with equality.

But the indiginous people who are featured on this video have been subjected to it all.

Please take the time to really watch this video and to really listen to the real life story being told.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and "click" the pause button on the music widget.

I want you to be able really listen to this video.


Now that you've watched the video, what are you going to do about it? You may feel that because you are not Native American (unless you are), you should be fighting for "your own" people. Let them fight for themselves!

You see, by not being our brother's keeper, our numbers are often too few when we need to represent a cause on the behalf of humanity, equality, retribution, and respect. Most of us share similar histories and experiences and often at the hand of the same violators. Why not ban together and make "it" count for ALL people.

Even the government is at a stale-mate on their bale out because law-makers are arguing to have provisions in the bill for people of many walks of life... not just investors, bankers, and realtors.

If someone in Uncle Sam's army is trying to grab a clue, shouldn't we?
