I always love the native-marxist dialog.
they start with the 'great spirit' but then they bring you into the animism, and they want you embrace it if they are good people, but the marxist native doesn't really care about sharing and potlatch, they feel left out of it and they want 'make it native' no matter where they really came from, who was eating who and what part of asia so many of them are really from.
as if the world wasn't big enough.
but they hate you for not being one of the cocoa shades.
so it's OK if your Portuguese or Sicilian becuase they might have that in their family, by marriage.
but if you look like you come from the wrong side of the Channel, where the night club used to be, well . . . you better not be a short blond guy . . . they wil lhate you!
not only that they can't ever get past that 'make it all native'.
they have this idea of it? what would they do? kill everyone else?
and it makes me wonder.
that's why you cna't stay friends with them.
at some point are they going to show up with a tomahawk?
fortunately most people are not marxists, and that includes natives. Many of them are very very successful land owners and business people.
