• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Didn't Native Americans get something? Isn't that why they get their own land, and basically follow their own rules? Granted, not really anything considering this is all their land, but still.

Not really, considering that they were given Oklahoma. Also, the Seminoles got to keep the Everglades. However, Native Americans were once the target of genocidal operations by the U.S. Government and they were continually spit on by said government. They were sold into slavery as well, along with African-Americans. They were raped, beaten, massacred and all in the name of progression. It's still ongoing, as not enough is being done to assist those living on reservations now. Look at the educational system of those schools, and it's not the greatest.

You'd be suprised how many blacks are aware of this.
