More Mural Controversy

I read everyone’s comment. This is int. I drive by there all the time. My friend’s grandmother lives on Vanderbilt (over 20yrs) and I never knew the history behind that young man. I had no idea he was into drugs and guns… i swore he was a good young man that was murdered because of nonsense. Does anyone know the truth behind his death? And why did the revamp it? Do you need permission from the Community Board before painting things on walls?
“Westcoastfantasy is correct. What, if you can support your claim that Florida was in Mexico, or alternatively that Andrew Jackson did that in Mexico, let me know!”

The What (You can learn alot from a dummy)

Indians owned slaves
Indians operated a number of successful businesses, including cotton plantations worked by slaves not much different from those owned by white southerners. Along the Natchez Trace, which ran from Tennessee to the Mississippi River, the Choctaw and Chickasaw.
It was also mentioned in American Lives
where Don Cheadle was confronted with the fact that the chickensaw tribe enslaved his ancestors

Where did Indians owned slaves?? And do you think the Indians was defending their homeland?? My GOD Why did I respond to you????
Being a native Oklahoman and a descendent of Choctaw freedman. Of course the 5 civilized nations owned slaves and they took their slaves to Indian Territory (present day OK) when they were forced to move from the Southeastern states.
What –
Comparing this guy to Andrew Jackson is so f$##ing ridiculous it makes me wonder: have you ever actually had a discussion with a real person? Your debate skills could use some sharpening…to say the least.
Andrew Jackson?
Really?
f#$#ing retard.
” Native Americans were hardly innocent when it came to killing women and children settlers (19th Century Asshats), or owning slaves. That said, they always got the short end of the stick.
“Nevertheless, your knowledge of this obscure incident is pretty impressive…if only you could write a sentence in English!”

“ou must mean the Negro Fort incident in the Seminole Wars in Spanish Florida, not Mexico, as Andrew Jackson was never in Mexico (or Texas, for that matter). They were killed by a cannonball that exploded in the fort’s ammunition storage, setting off the rest of the fort.”
It was in Mexico! The US did a illegal action on foreign soil…
6 years and counting thanks you so much… You are a f*****ing retard…
The What (Bring on the depression)
