No one forced them all to come out and make their racist comments.

It doesn't get much more ignorant than that.!

I'm sure Huffington Post and CTV News were proud of all 11 recipients. They made note that one of them is for the first time from First Nations.
Sydney Poitier was the first black man to win an Academy Award for Best Actor and the media made note of it. Same with Halle Berry for being the first black woman to win an Academy Award for Best Actress. Nothing wrong with pointing that out.

Nope. being a racist bigot, and then trying to justify how it is okay to be a racist bigot ...
... clearly that is about as about as ugly and ignorant as anyone can get. Congrats.

well done
Is it possible for you to make a post that does not incite accusations of racism or bigotry? I have not even read any of the posts in response to this OP but came only imagine what they will be.
Call me a bigot or racisict....quite frankly don't care if it comes from you because your posts have quite clearly shown you to be the racist here.
Here's a flip side view. Since FN's comprise 5% of the total population and fully paid education thru University is available to this specific group that is not available to any other "identifiable ethnic" for a number of decades now, why did it take so long?
I can't wait for the fish soup spin on that question.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Why is that? Is it because those responses would be typical for certain posters? No one is forcing anyone to respond with racist comments. Some posters here need very little inspiration when given the chance to display their bigotry.

I am so pleased to know that the current generation still in high school will be so much better educated on the issues that have affected and still impact our First Nations people. Still, its not like you are incapable of using google. Sigh. G'night.

Excuse me, MJ. Were you not the one who said in another thread that you were in fact Metis? I love the way you spin your culture to suit whatever side of the coin you choose with little to no rebuttal.
You can't have it both ways, unless of course you're also just very very confused.
