Im having a little Historical Deja VU...
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 08:52 PM by Fescue4u
Let see if you can recongize what other people we have done this to:

Hundreds of thousands are being forced from their land and sent to *Fema Camps* Theyare sent hundreds or thousands of miles away from their home. They have no choice in which *Fema Camp* they are sent to.

They are each being given a pittance of money. They are told not to return to their homes.

If they leave the *Fema Camps*, they cannot return to neither the camp, nor their former home.

Their land and home are under the control of the federal government. Rich white people are deciding what to do with the land from the people forced from it.

This is all being done for "their benefit"

...
..
.
Don't recognize what Im talking about? Try replacing the word "Fema Camps" with "Reservations"
