Gnu,
If you "clearly" read my post you will see that I said that "If it is a search for knowledge, I am fine with that". You said it was, so no more needed to be said (your initial post and content was not as clear to me as you state, so I asked).

Condidering there has been other underlying reasons for bringing up NA native issues in earlier discussions, IMO, it is a reasonable question to ask.

As to the spirited (but limited) discussion, mix historic slavery, issues related to a minority culture who now have special status within a nation, and add "a suggestion" of homosexuality into the mix, I wonder what type of thread discussion one could expect to evolve?
