Right.  Every white person I meet says they're one-sixteenth Cherokee or something, apparently as some kind of attempt at 'self-validation.'  I have relatives in the middle-east whose lands, and the mineral resources under them, are being taken away from them right NOW.  One in Iraq was killed in 2003.  Take a look at an unsanitized history of US imperialism, and perhaps you'll come to understand the true horror of oppression.  You won't find it on the cartoon network.  Would you consider being forced to watch your children being dragged away, knowing you'll never see them again, as anything other than 'a fate worse than death?'  If so perhaps you can eventually see the truth in the scriptural excerpt I quoted.
