Well, that's the point. they're not. Drive across the Pine Ridge reservation, just a few hours drive from here, and you won't believe you're in America; the desolation and the poverty need to be seen to be believed. It's no different from any other group of ethnic politicians. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson get rich, and sell their supporters on a bunch of ethnic solidarity hooey.
The funny thing is, a lot of people have bought into the idea that the US owes the Indians something - and by Indians we mean someone who is 1/8 or even 1/16 of Indian ancestry - but they'll reject the same idea when it pertains to blacks. Why?
"Well, we all know that the Indians have it so much better than the rest of us and are living it up while we starve. The unfairness to us is just terrible, almost genocide."
