Yes, that's exactly my point...maybe if Indians as a group stood up for the parts of the Constitution that don't directly affect their pocketbooks, they'd get a little more sympathy for the state of their treaty rights. Bulls**t. The states have been trying to destroy treaty rights for over 100 years - all easily documented and verifiable. So that doesn't fly. Nice try, though.
But they don't, so it appears as if the only concern that Indians have for the Constitution revolves around MONEY, and most people don't have a lot of respect for such an unprincipled stance.
You sure make a lot of assumptions, and they all appear to be based on ignorance and hatred. It doesn't revolve around money, it revolves around survival of a people. But, you wouldn't understand. AS I said: Ignorance.

Oh, so THAT's what all those indian casinos are all about -- the survival of a people! 'Cause we all know how important casinos are to the traditional indian way of life. /sarcasm
What a crock of sh*t! If you believe this, you must be utterly delusional!
Oh, gee, and anyone that doesn't agree with you is an ignorant, hateful racist. Well, this is getting as good as I expected!
