I am so sorry you had to experience this. In my observations across
the country anywhere you go in Tennessee seems to be this way.
Please don't judge the rest of our beautiful country by this
yardstick. My apologies to any Tennesseeans here who do not fit
this pattern, this was my observation based on a cross country bus
tour a couple years ago. I simply could not believe how different
things are in that state.
I am Tennessean and definitely do not feel that way. In fact I research
material from a number of different tribes, primarily Hopi and Mayan,
due to their rich heritage and "stories". I am very interested in
shamanism of any tribe. I have even attended dancing and drumming
ceremonies, and tried to go to a sweat lodge, but my wife objected. The
energies are wonderful.
There will always be individuals who harbor resentment and
animosity, but mostly they will keep it to themselves these days.
We can perhaps have some control over how people act in public, but
we cannot govern what they think. It would be wonderful if there
were some magic pill or elixir that would make this all go away.
I have at one time or another lived in just about every area in
this land except for the great Northwest. In most of these areas
great progress has been made not only towards blacks and indians
but other minorities as well. Even so , one will always encounter
certain individuals who carry on the old hateful ways. Perhaps in
another 500 yrs or so......... Its really seems kind of
ridiculous these days when most of us are a conglomeration of
many many cultures. It is time to show not tolerance, but
acceptance and understanding.
You may find with the changes coming, that will be changed by 2013. I
sure hope so.

Greetings all, my heritage includes Blackfoot Native Americans from

I pass for a small deep brown skin African American male. I was just
in Chattanooga Tennessee and the hate I felt from Caucasian men
young, middle age and elderly was beyond belief in 2009. You could
just feel hate in their stares and blocking our car from the gas
pump. A young Caucasian male would not allow my friend, who is half
Caucasian and African American, he could pass for a 6'2 moroccon
Arab. We needed to fuel the car to head back to Washington DC, after
visiting his Caucasian mother who works in the Alexian retirement
Center in the mountains of Chattanooga, such a beautiful place with
hatefulness all around, did I miss something or should this still be
expected? Pardon my description just painting a mental picture for
you all, I wish CS mixed with DMSO could harmonize this issue with
some of the American family
