CBC web boards are full of...

I am fed up with supporting the CBC and their tolerance for racist comments on any Aboriginal story (which always goes out of its way to highlight what 'they are asking / doing now to the Joe blow Canadian taxpayer. They are not supportive, no more than that other multicultural conglomerate at City – TV, which in the early days took pride in promoting the immigrant and minority issues. Every time I am on the CBC.ca website, I am appalled by the comments that insist that Aboriginal people are lazy, do not want to resolve any issues without some kind of financial incentive, and that they should just assimilate and forget the reserves. What people fail to acknowledge is that they do not come from cities or towns over in Europe or Asia – where the system of government is somewhat similar universal – therefore, why should they continue to live as if they did? Indigenous people are not going anywhere and as the young people of this country continue to get educated (and yes, native people do sometimes use OSAP) it will lie with them to contribute to the economy when most of those looser neo-conservatives are ready for retirement and looking for their pension fund contributions. Native people will have the last laugh if it were up to them, they would stay on welfare and encourage younger people to do this – and there will be nothing to support this country but those with the money. Money does not last forever and well, they had all better die off than hanging around only to resort to eating grass and potatoes as their ancestors did.
