Thomas Mon, 29 Sep 2008 05:36:03 +0000 http://www.oliverwillis.com/?p=9722#comment-117726 How is it that the descendants of people native to the Americas relate so proudly to the people who originally oppressed them? Those oppressors were a genetic minority. Baca in all probability remains more genetically native than he cares to admit. Amazing. His history sucks also. To accurately understand the relatioship between Native Americans and Africans you must study Pre - Colombian history. There you will find that the first Africans who came to the Americas before Colombus came in peace during the Malian voyages, not slavery.

Oliver,

At the rate they’re going, hispanic Americans are going to look at hispanic Republicans the way blacks look at black Republicans/conservatives: A little sad and a lot amused.

Speaking for this Hispanic in New Mexico: too late.
