After reading Crimes Against Humanity I realized that Native Americans were demoralized and made fun of just because of some else's ignorance. It was shock to read about the multiple names of teams and schools that were named after or referring to Native Americans. No other race has the right to single out another. If one does not know much of anything about them then they shouldn't talk about who they are or what they really represent. If we do so we are lowing our standards and feeding into stereotypes as well. It sad how these young individuals were taking from their homes in an attempt to be made more like "Americans". I can only image they pain they endured. It's a disgrace to society and the last few sentences couldn't have summed it up any better. ...
"Know that it causes real pain and real suffering to real people. Know that it threatens our very survival. And know that this is just as much a crime against humanity as anything the Nazis ever did. It is likely the indigenous people of the United States will never demand that those guilty of such criminal activity be punished for their deeds. But the least we have to expect-indeed to demand is that such practices finally be brought to a halt. "
