Why do so few people care about Indians?

  Yes, the general apathy and indifference about the original   people in the Americas really is appalling.  Most of the media   don't show any interest in them like it's something they want   to forget about and bury in oblivion as the embarrassment that   nobody wants to know about. I think it needs no expalantion   why I left "fair and balanced" out of the Fox News logo. And

  CNN still believes it's the "world's new leader". Sure, whatever you say, Turner. Surprisingly we   are getting less and less lately with news items focusing mostly on celebrities and some major   event somewhere and this news appears to be recycled endlessly. But everyone with a sound   mind will understand that this in no way any realistic picture of the world and that always a lot   more is happening on this planet but that the stations simply just don't bring it to us in their   "world news" reports. News stations decide for us what they want us to know. It should be their   sacred job to inform us of all that is happening but no, they don't, they just tell us what they want   us to know and not straightforwardly but coloured and molded in what they want to feed into our   minds. so for the news that they won't bring us, I can only say thank God for google and internet,   where there is no sencorship, and less government brainwashing, unless you live in countries like   China of course.

  This is why is became necessary to have Native Americans news   stations and radio stations. Only problems is, how many people   tune into those stations besides Indian people? Not many I'm   afraid. And that's sad, because it's not the Indians who need to   be educated so much. It's a good thing that these stations keep   their own people informed and express their culture with music   and such but political songs need to get outside the Indian

  sphere or there wouldn't be any point to it. But unfortunately then often downright sensorship   comes in, which Rockband Redbone had to experience back in the seventies when CBS Records   refused to release or press their records because of their political song "We were all wounded at   Wounded Knee" and the Superbowl in Arizona didn't allow them to perform that particular song.   But sweeping things under the carpet isn't really going to change things for the good, it is?   Everything bad that we're trying to hide isn't just going to go away just because we so much   want to forget about it. Instead it's gong to come back worse, the longer we keep it unattended.
