Just in case they start handing out money we want some.
LOL, sadly probably true.
And who wouldn’t want some to help in a crisis? If making a declaration of emergency greased the government wheels it’s good thing.
Obliviously, be careful what you say, your house may be sitting on Tribal land. Now the College of The Redwoods has to pay a tax for using the so called Tribal land the school is sitting on. Where were these [edit] when the school was first built? Frankly, I am sick and tired of them claiming land all over the place!!!!!
No racial slurs.
Kym, the use the term firewater in some of the casino bars. Thought it was okay. Sorry.
I know the casinos do but unless you are native, I think you ought to step back from the term.
thats the definition of a double standard. you could just have said that you didnt want that term on your site. also i dont believe that term is a slur, it is just a description of alcohol
Wow. Wow wow, at the risk of sounding like a complainer I distinctly remember you defending The Real Brian use of the N word, saying something along the lines of we need to act like adults and words shouldn’t have that kinda power. Sorry but I’ve had that one in my back pocket for months. And I could be wrong but Brian defiantly didn’t play the “I can say it because”
I can type the word “nigger” because I know how to use it.
Like a historical references to our language against black people.
Or in answering to you thinking I call black people “niggers”.
I don’t call black people “niggers”.
It looks like Martin was calling a group of people “firewaters” in his statement, which I’m not familiar with.
But if I said ‘where is that “nigger” that just took over the CHP’, you better believe that would be deleted in a heartbeat.
Rightfully.
I didnt say you call people the n word I’m saying that 99 percent of the fucking African American community says you don’t have the right, not my rule. I disagree with any censorship but your logic as usual [*stupefies me.] I wish to god I could drive you to Compton right now do we could have this debate in a public place. I’ll drive if you want to go.

You think black people anywhere would be upset that a white guy hasn’t forgotten their brutal history in America and the language used against them?
I didn’t know you were so PC Mike.
I was born in Chile, so if you are so adherent to your policy you can refer to me as “Chileno-American”.
But I call me a “white” guy, or in other references to another trait -“American”.
Most black people in America were born here, so I refer to them as “Americans”, or if for some weird reason I need to reference their skin color, I say “black”.
The first time I wrote “nigger” on RHBB was in a discussion with Ullr, who claimed “square-head” was just as offensive to his germanic ancestry as “nigger” was to blacks.
For him, “squarehead” isn’t offensive, and that equates to him that black people shouldn’t be offended by “nigger”.
The paradox is that you guys cant even spell “nigger” in a correct usage format as if the “n word” means anything else less offensive.
Your even afraid to say “black” people it seems.
The thing is, I wouldn’t go to Compton, Chinatown, Pennsylvania or India and call people by their color.
I just need their name.
so you have been holding onto some grudge with me for months. hahaha
btw i have no idea what you are talking about and there are two tax payers on here
tax payer, thank you for agreeing with me about the term firewater. I have used the term since I was a young man, and not a single person was upset. Kim said unless I am a native I should step back from using it. I am a native, a native “American” and damn proud of it.

Mike, I did not say the “N” word. It was The Real Brian above.
TP, Martin, and Mike, I have no idea whether someone is Native American or Black on my site so I don’t allow anyone to call anyone an ethnic slur. Let’s try this on for size. “Where were these niggers?” To me that is appalling.
So is “Where were these firewaters?”
You may be okay with that but this is my site. Not changing my mind.
And for those of you unclear on the concept, writing a word commonly used as a slur is not aiming a slur at someone. But “Where were these firewaters?” is aimed directly at a racial group and is not acceptable on my site.
Kym, not much of anything is acceptable on your sight. I did not use the “N” word, it was The Real Brian above. The term “firewater” has been used for more years than I can remember. Stop being so touchy please. I see the use of four letter words all the time, and they don’t get the edit axe.
Martin, way too much is probably acceptable on this site. However, Fuck and shit are swear words and I don’t delete them. Nigger and Chink are slurs and when aimed at a people, I do delete them.
I say fuck and shit all the time. We’re adults here. Adults don’t sling slurs however.
They were interned in boarding schools and reservatuons during the 60’s, when CR was built. The last native Wiyot speaker died in 1960. Irony seems to have died rather more recently.
ALL land in the Northern Hemisphere IS theirs. We are renters at best.
Who do you think was here before you built the school. Do you have an education? Or just plain ignorant?
This whole country should be ours and people like you should be forced back to Europe or wherever I came from. White people cool, it’s just a vast majority of them arent cuz they think like you!!
For those who haven’t noticed, State of Emergency was declared for the State by the Governor yesterday. It is in the best interest of more communities to have the same urgency as Hoopa. We can’t be too prepared, but we can be unprepared. It’s a choice for each of us at the moment.

There was a huge allotment meant to be divvied out to federal, state and tribal agencies all throughout the United States. What are you angry for? You people will receive the same funding too. Haters!

He certainly has the best interest of his people in mind. His accomplishments are too long for me to list.
More power to him.
